Styling Block Quotes

[mattcaldwell]

I am struggling to style block quotes, I inspect the elements on the page and the class is just .blockquote, but not css global edits seem to be applied. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @mattcaldwell,

Thanks for reaching out!

If you are using the Classic Blockquote element then the CSS class is .x-blockquote, but I am not quite sure what do you mean by “but not CSS global edits seem to be applied”. Would you mind sharing more information about what do you want to achieve? and also I would like to request the website page URL where the blockquote is located.

Thank you.

Hi Marc,

Sorry, I am talking about the wordpress block quotes built into posts, not the element. I edit the .blockquote but the changes don’t display on the front end. It’s like the theme styles for that class take precedence?

Hi @mattcaldwell,

I would suggest you to add the any parent class before the .blockquote to override the theme presets. Like:

.single-post .blockquote
{
    /** Your Style **/
}

If that does not helps, please provide login credentials for your site in a secure note to examine it further, including:

– WordPress Site URL & Login URL
– Specific Page URL and Section where you are having this issue
– WordPress Admin username/password
