Could you be more specific? Where/on what page would you like them aligned vertically? (if you can draw up a crude mockup that may also help)

I think that’s possible with CSS in a theme component. There’s a bit more info about that here:

> [@Boxes with Subcategories into Bulleted List](https://meta.discourse.org/t/boxes-with-subcategories-into-bulleted-list/160141/2):

> warning Edit: as of 11/9/2023: Category styles other than squared bullets are or will be discontinued/unavailable in the short future. I’m replying to this later, but better late than never… slight_smile To stack them on top of each others: .category-box .subcategories { flex-direction: column; .subcategory { .subcategory-image-placeholder { display: none; } } } As for a bulleted list, it will depend on what style you use for your categ…

Though there’s a chance it will need a little update in the future if we move to a single category style:

> Discourse’s moving toward a single category style (bullet), maybe I need to revisit my answer… thinking
