Two requests

Hello!

Two questions for you:
1) How to you change the default block quote alignment from ‘centre’ to ‘left’? I can’t see any way to adjust this in the theme panel.

2) How to you change the width of the default sidebar?

I’d like to reduce the width of the default sidebar, allowing greater width for the post text. At the moment the post entries look way too narrow.

Thanks guys!

Hi,

1. There are option for left and right quotes in the “Formats” section – http://screencast.com/t/toXQltPg

2. You have to modify the theme grid (inside style.css) or use custom css, unfortunately this is not an easy task because you have to adjust each element to match the newly set width – http://screencast.com/t/uO3KU68vJL14
Ex. – http://screencast.com/t/605CFywzP7

@media (min-width: 1200px){
.single .td-main-content-wrap .td-container, .td-boxed-layout #td-outer-wrap {
width: 1168px;
}
.single .td-main-content-wrap .td-container .td-pb-span8 {
width: 844px;
}
.single .td-main-content-wrap .td-container .td-pb-span4{
width: 372px;
}
}

I suggest that you look for a professional to help you with this task.

Thank you, Emil G.

Thanks so much for the help with this.

That didn’t actually solve the problem, as it ended up creating two columns, with the block quote text being placed to the left of the text block which had originally been below this. All I was actually trying to do was have the default text within the block quote set to left alignment, NOT centre alignment. How can this be done?

Also, I’m running into a really annoying problem with the block quote text becoming all caps, even after I set it to “none (normal text)” within the theme panel. Here are the steps I’m taking:

1) Theme panel options are set to the following:
a) Post Content
b) Default block quote
c) Transform > set to “none (normal) text)
***Here is a screenshot of the above: http://grab.by/Jbyg

2) Post text is written, with no special formatting:

3) Text block is added in the visual composer:

4) Text from step two is pasted:

5) “Block quote” button is pressed within the text block visual composer screen:

6) The text is AUTOMATICALLY SET TO UPPERCASE, even though default block quote text was set to “none (normal text)” as seen in step 1.

Can you please help me out with this? Why are my settings that are set in the theme panel being ignored?

Can you help me to set the following functions as default for block quote text?

A) Left text, NOT centre text
B) No special text transform on the block quote text.

Thanks!

Hi,

@blockquote – You mean like this?- http://screencast.com/t/S5vMLXfIpzN

1-6 The theme has default css and the quotes are automatically set to uppercase, try this – http://screencast.com/t/t0qKZof0WoX

.td-post-content blockquote p {
text-align: left;
text-transform: none;
}

I’ve tried the settings on my side and they seem to work – http://screencast.com/t/nMwycroWqhttp://screencast.com/t/GV23x2rzt

Thank you!
