Does CSS Apply to Visual Editor (TinyMCE)? Or… how do I change the default?

Hi everyone –

A newbie here, and searched a couple of times in the forums, but couldn’t find the answer.

I just installed Newsmag on my site and love it so far. But running into a persistent problem neither I nor my theme installer person can fix.

The issue is that the default treatment of certain styles — specifically, the blockquote style. The default styling is large, centered, and colored text. We see it here in the forums. I changed that via CSS stylesheets to something I can use. So everything is fine on the front-end.

The problem now is that when I’m writing or editing a post (NOT A PAGE, a POST, so Visual Composer or tD composer are not involved), the blockquote style behaves as it did before the CSS changes.

So the question is, how do we either make the visual editor inherit the CSS styles from the frontend, or change the default theme styles so that both the backend post editor (TinyMCE?) and the frontend website use the same styles?

We already know about the font handling in the theme, which is wonderful. But those don’t cover the default styles (again, the best example is the “blockquote” style).

Thank you

I found putting my custom styles at the end of the style.css file fixes that. But your mileage may vary, as I like to say 🙂

I always change the blockquote style, too. I’d prefer a medium size bold+italic as default and flush left, but somebody at TD loves the giant centered ALL CAPS thing.
