Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to produce a list of categories (custom taxonomy) for an Advisor detail.

I am using Divi, and natively, I can produce a "list" in the form "Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3" but I am unable to produce a bulleted list.

Divi has no way to do this. Is there a way to do this using more of the Toolset features? Maybe a View loop?

Here is the page in question: hidden link

You will see the relevant categories for each custom taxonomy displayed on a single line "Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3"

Is there any documentation that you are following?
None that I can find...

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello,

It is possible with a taxonomy view, for example:
1) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> General, in section "Editing experience", choose option "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build"

2) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Views, create a new view, for example "advisor-taxonomy-terms"
- Query term of your custom taxonomy
- Filter by:
Taxonomy is set by the page where this View is inserted
- in section "Loop Editor", click button "Loop Wizard", choose option "Unordered list", and display the term information

3) In the single "advisor" post, display above taxonomy view shortcode, for example:
[wpv-view name="advisor-taxonomy-terms"]

I am a little confused. When you say:

Taxonomy is set by the page where this View is inserted

do you mean that happens by default. I cannot figure out how to set that.

See the options for filters I am given in attached screen shot.

Please advise,

Thank you so much
