At the moment, with my old theme, when I click on the default pull quote WordPress classic editor shown here https://gyazo.com/31a70238ded1206aa10fd6034b0651b9 I get the text effect as shown here https://gyazo.com/4974bcde4beee841c2aaec10c76368c8 but if I use Newspaper latest theme I get the text effect as shown here https://gyazo.com/89a40732f868b4ebc9b2d7fa97de1fd6.
I have looked at the Theme Fonts settings and played around with the Pull Quote settings but it doesn’t seem to help much. Can you pl tell me how to go about it so I can get rid of the big blue fonts and keep it normal as shown in the above image, like this https://gyazo.com/4974bcde4beee841c2aaec10c76368c8?
Hello,
The quote font will be applied but only to the front-end. Please try to change it and access your front-end to see the difference. The back-end will not be affected by the theme panel setting.
The quote you showed in the screenshot is not a pullquote but a standard quote.
Please create your pull quotes like so: http://screencast.com/t/W7g7DJiueXA
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thanks and I have seen that but sorry that I am looking for a standard quote in that case. If I click on that standard quote button in the Editor using Newspaper theme, it creates that big, capital, blue color italic letters.. I want to change it to normal looking quote when i click on that standard quote button. as I use it quite often and have used it. As it is now, all my posts will have those large size blue capital letters wherever I have used the Standard quote…meaning lots of work to undo it.
If that is not possible to change due the theme, then i need to know a work around. I am not able to, say, find a standard or normal quote style on the Theme. For example, I found the way to change the font style but where do I change the color? Also, where do i set the alignment? I don’t find it in the setting.. I think i am missing something, and that’s why writing to you.
Hello,
You can control the font family, font size, style, weight and transform from the fonts section. The color of the blockquote is affected by the theme accent color: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-colors-introduction/ -http://screencast.com/t/kbdKAg9cIDb
Anything other than this will have to be styled with css.
If you want to change just the quote color, you can use this code:
.td-post-content blockquote p{
color:red!important;
text-align:left;
}
I added a text-align propriety in there so you can change it as well. it can be set to left, right, center or justify.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thanks Bogdan. Let me clarify…
1) You said the font color comes from the Theme color setup. Fine. I assumed it.
2) If I want a color other then what I set in the Theme color setup, I need to specify it as in the code above.
3) Text alignments can only be set by entering the above code.
4) The font family, font size, style, weight and transform from the fonts section of DEFAULT QUOTE section shown here https://gyazo.com/a1a87894783915a0f87ebe66424d2f61 ?
Hi,
1) and 2) The blockquote color can also be changed in the theme panel now (new option. sorry!) http://screencast.com/t/W1FjVy5EAk
3) You can either set the alignment by code to affect all blockquotes or you can set it from the post edit screen for each post you edit: http://screencast.com/t/ujJJtRolXvp The code i provided will apply the style for all blockquotes at once.
4) Yes, you can change the font for the default blockquote from the fonts section in the theme panel.
thank you!
Thanks. One suggestion is, it would greatly help if the theme documentation says what are the default parameters for different settings.
One more question- After making all changes, when I upgrade the Theme (whenever you release new versions) will I lose all settings?
Hello,
These settings are kept in the database, so there should be no change to them when updating the theme.
Thank you!
Can you tell me which settings are saved in the database and which are not? are the codes entered in Custom codes also saved? Basically I am trying to figure out whether to use Child theme or not.
Hello,
The database will contain your posts, pages, categories, sidebars, theme panel settings and any custom code you use in the theme panel. You will not lose any information when updating.
Customization however will not be saved. And by customization i mean altering of the theme files. For that you will have to create a child theme, but even that is not safe as if the file you modify will get updated in a future version, you will need to update your child theme as well. The child theme does not provide an update-proof method, it simply delays the customization getting redone on every update but you will have to look in the changelog->modified files for every update to see if your modified file is on the list.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
@Bogdan: On Feb 10, 2016 you said this: “The quote font will be applied but only to the front-end. Please try to change it and access your front-end to see the difference. The back-end will not be affected by the theme panel setting.”
I am managing with it although going back and forth from back-end to front-end to see the end result does take more time. My question is, is it going to be always like that or do you have any plan in a future release to fix this so we can see the end result directly in the back-end editor? In other words, to keep it WYSIWYG even after making changes in the theme panel setting. Pl let me know. Thanks.
Hi,
We have no plan for this at the moment but I will add this request to our list of updates and hopefully the dev. team will decide to implement it in a future release.
Thank you!
