    I want to use asterisks without them converting to bulleted list. Every time I put a space after an asterisk it converts it to a ‘square’ bulleted list. How do I stop this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello,

    The reason asterisks are being converted to bullet lists is because markdown is enabled in your settings.

    To disable it, go to your WP Admin dashboard. You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)

    Go to Settings → Writing in your dashboard, and uncheck the box labeled Use Markdown for posts and pages. Then click the Save Changes button.

    Hope that helps!
