    Hi, when making my first couple of forms, the (*) that denotes a required field comes out as an X on my wordpress website . . . how do I change that?

  2. It's hard to know without looking at your form. It could be the character set you've defined. Not sure. If you'd like to post a link to your form, it might help.

    You could try adding some jQuery to your page template to use the HTML Character code instead.

  4. Those x's aren't the required field notation. They are graphical bullets that your theme is adding to ALL lists and Gravity Forms outputs the form as a list. Your theme is adding it to the form.

    See the FAQ on how to fix this. It involves adding a snippet of CSS to your themes stylesheet file. The link below will take you to the styling portion of the FAQ where the first item is "Why is my form is showing up with list bullets?":
