Block quotes not WYSIWYG in TinyMCE?

Posted in: Newspaper

Apologies if this has been asked before, I can’t find an answer to it.

I’ve changed the font size and styling of my block quotes in Newspaper – basically reduced the font size and set the font style to ‘no text transform’.
Problem is in TinyMCE I’m still seeing the larger uppercase-transformed block quotes.

Is there a way of making it WYSIWYG in TinyMCE?

Hi,

That would be the initial style of the quotes, set by the theme. They can be controlled on the frontend with the theme panel settings you mention.
But in the post edit screen they will be the same initial style, as predefined here

So only through modifications there you would be able to affect the quotes in the backend. There would no theme options or setting to change theme when creating the post, at the moment.

Thanks

Thanks! I’m probably doing something wrong here but it looks like a case of merely setting (in CSS) ‘.mce-content-body blockquote p’ font-size to whatever I want (including all the media widths). I’ve had this issue with other CSS in the past – the change doesn’t seem to take hold for some reason. It doesn’t appear to be caching because I can view the underlying css file in a web browser and it’s what I intend it to be. I’ve tried ‘!important’ with no luck. Am I missing something?
Cheers!

Hi,

I have tried changing the default style like this

It then took several force refresh attempts in the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R) in order to actually see the changes

That could be the issue on your end as well, try to force refresh the page until the modification is displayed.

Thanks

Thanks! For some reason if I put it in the theme’s Custom CSS area or the child theme’s style.css it doesn’t work, but edit editor-style.css directly or create a child theme version with just the changes and all good.
