Hi! I’m trying to change the font weight of the blockquote element. How exactly would I do that? It looks like only the 400 weight has been imported. When I change it in framework—>css—>dist—>site—>stacks—>ethos.css it doesn’t reflect it on the page. Thanks in advance for the help!

Please refer to the thread https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/font-adjustment-for-block-quotes/ and implement the CSS code.

I’m trying to get large quotation marks behind a blockquote. I used this code:

blockquote.x-blockquote:before {
    content: url("https://kglobal-dev.com/morgan6/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/quotation-marks-2.png")
}

to add it inline but I want it to render behind the text and slightly to the right, creating a 3D effect. I’ve attached a screenshot of what it looks like now and an example of the positioning (316.jpg) I’d ideally like.

Thanks for the help!

Hi there,

Please do not change parent theme stylesheets. You can add or overwrite CSS by adding it under Customize -> CSS.

I recommend you to set background image to achieve the layout in attachment, to do so please add following code in Customize -> Custom -> Global CSS :

blockquote.x-blockquote.center-text {
    background-image: url(https://kglobal-dev.com/morgan6/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/quotation-marks-2.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: 17% 37%;
}

Hope it helps.

Hi – looks like that’s still giving me what I had before. How would I get the quotation marks behind the text and moved slightly to the left? And scalable for mobile. Thanks!

Sorry, looks like it’s working great now! But I’m trying to add a media query to keep the font size down on mobile and I can’t seem to target the text appropriately. It might be the section where I’m trying to ad it (wasn’t working in Customize -> Custom -> Global CSS). What would I put to take it down from 36px to 20px with a screen width of 780px? Thanks!

Hi There,

You can write it something like this:

@media (max-width: 780px) {
	blockquote.x-blockquote {
		font-size: 20px;
	}
}

Thanks.
