Newsmag theme is exaggerating my blockquotes โ€“ help?

Posted in: Newsmag

Have tried different custom css codes to no avail and Newsmag has exaggerated EVERY blockquote used on EVERY page and post within my website.

My website blockquotes need to be indented slightly (if possible), and of a somewhat different font type and size but NOT centered and certainly NOT the exaggerated font size now locked into this theme.

Have had to re-activate using an older theme that displays everything perfectly, but isn’t touch-device-friendly. This theme was purchased here too … and sadly, never updated.

Usable css coding would make using your theme a whole lot more feasible … heeeeeelp … please?

Pretty simple CSS fix; using the Chrome “inspector” is super useful to highlight and ID what CSS is used where.

You can also find it in the main theme style.css under a notable section for “quote”

I changed mine to this on one site by example:

.td-page-content blockquote,
.td-post-content blockquote,
.mce-content-body blockquote,
.comment-content blockquote {
padding: 0;
position: relative;
border-left: none;
margin: 42px 0 38px 0;
}
.td-page-content blockquote p,
.td-post-content blockquote p,
.mce-content-body blockquote p,
.comment-content blockquote p {
font-family: "Segoe UI",Frutiger,"Frutiger Linotype","Helvetica Neue",-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Dejavu Sans",Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,Arial,arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 30px;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #4db2ec;
}

hope that helps ๐Ÿ™‚

If not adding your own version to bottom of style.css, and using theme panel, you may need to put !important on some items to force over-ride due to how CSS works.

Okay … but … I’ve used tables in one of my posts. This will affect my table contents too, correct? I only need the blockquotes down-sized, of a slightly different font … and NOT centered … but I want my table (on at LEAST one post) affected at all.

Help please?

Tables are not blockquotes.

Tables should not be in blockquotes.

You can apply custom styles to tables yourself.

I don’t work here; perhaps tagdiv can help you further.

I provided the info on how to address issue with ‘blockquotes’ in posts.

Ah … okay Chris and Thank YOU for the reassurance that this won’t affect my tables used in some posts. Not only this but YOUR css script help me where the authors attempt did NOT.

Hugs,
Trish

I had been changing mine recently also, hence having a quick answer as I’d already figured it out ! ๐Ÿ™‚

This theme IS pretty amazing, though complicated.
PRAYING it’s kept up to date and not simply deserted in a year’s time like my previously purchased theme here for this site.

Though I still have lots to resolve, now I can LEAVE this theme activated on my website. YIPEE!

Thanks again … you’ve made me one very happy camper.

I’ve been using TagDiv themes for three years now, so pretty safe ๐Ÿ™‚
