Hi

All quotes on our site are shown under text we enter (or signatures if user have one assigned)
How to make quotes appear on top?

Thanks

[Robkk]

go to the plugin your using support forum.

[akyboy]

I did try, but no responses unfortunately….

[Robkk]

link me to a post with a quote

ill check and see if it can be easily fixed

if not you probably have to find it out yourself or hire a person to fix it.

Test

try this , put it anywhere you can put custom css

blockquote {
font-style: italic !important;
width: 200px !important;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}

Thanks Rob,

tried to put in in both themes style.css and ../themes/tank/css/bbpress.css

doesn’t work

[Robkk]

@akyboy

hopefully you are putting it into your child themes stylesheet
or in a plugin like jetpacks custom css

it doesnt have to be in the bbpress.css file, because the code is in your themes stylesheet.

since it didnt work try this.

blockquote {
font-style: italic !important;
width: 200px;
float: none !important;
clear: none !important;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}

Hi Rob,

i have bbpress.css in my theme css folder

when i was setting it up i read instructions and i think i did it right 😛

so it is in:
/themes/tank/css/bbpress.css

I have used code you just posted and i see difference but still not the way it is supposed to be )

[Robkk]

the issue now is that your theme already has some !important statements.

your original blockquote css is

blockquote {
font-style: italic !important;
width: 200px !important;
float: left !important;
clear: left;
}

since float:left has !important on the end

and the new css for float:none !important

my new statement doesnt do anything.

posting the code into your child themes css stylesheet should fix it.

since the child themes stylesheet code overwrites the parent themes stylesheet.

so put it into your child themes stylesheet and see if it works.

Mr Rob

Still no go

I put it on top of the child theme css

Looks like i got it!!!

1k free gold (real) w/ Overwolf WoT sponsored app

blockquote was in completely different css file, what i did is moved everything related to child theme css and then edited it there

i hope this is safe?

thanks :PP

[Robkk]

@akyboy

yeah its looking pretty good now.

as of you editing your theme being safe or not, contact your theme author they would know more about it than me.

[akyboy]

Thanks Mr Rob, couldn’t do it without you!!

I used FF Inspector too (you suggested that to me too) to steal some css goodies i like from this site 🙂

[akyboy]

Me again! 😛

Before i had profile link redirected to WP author page, but i returned to bbpress profile

http://www.cannedbandits.org/forums/users/ziutx/replies/

All works good, i changed some css also but bquote is cut in half for some reason. I guess because it has some fixed width?

[Robkk]

change the width from 400px to auto

like this

blockquote {
    font-family: Open Sans,sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: italic !important;
    background-color: #212123;
    border: 0.5px solid #CCC;
    border-radius: 6px;
    box-shadow: 0.5px 0.5px 0.5px #CCC;
    padding: 15px;
    width: auto;
}

[akyboy]

Love you more and more! :PPP

Also noticed padding fix i had it top, bottom, right, left 🙂
