Hello,

How can I make the text on blockquotes align to the left, rather than centre please?

I am using a Newspaper as a child theme, and would rather not use the ‘Custom CSS’ option in the Theme Panel (which I haven’t been able to get working with this anyway!) as that renders the CSS after the page load.

Many thanks.

Max

Hi,

Have you tried adding the blockquotes using this shortcodes: http://screencast.com/t/AnwvWMYYLXG I’m not sure how you would want the blockquotes to appear.
You could use css to align the left the text and if you use child theme and don’t want to use custom css field from theme panel you can edit the style.css file and add it there.

Thanks

Hi Lucian,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yep I want to do it through CSS so it effects the

element. I’m having trouble though. Surely…

blockquote { text-align: left; }

…should work (when inserted in the child theme’s stye.css), but it doesn’t. Any thoughts?

Cheers.

Hi,

You can use this css:

blockquote p {
text-align: left !important;
}

…to get this results:

Hope this helps!
