Hi, I’m using bbpress on my upcoming videogame website:
http://20160719.gaming-universe.de/guf/topic/testtest/#post-6864

As you can see, the template uses information from the WP theme style.css.
This is overall a good thing but the blockquote function looks off.
I’m also using a couple of plugins so I feel that I might be able to change that via a CSS function but don’t understand CSS very well.

When looking at the code, the blockquote seems to use a specific class from one of my plugins:
blockquote class=”d4pbbc-quote”

Can anyone point me to where I can change the CSS for the blockquote attribute?

Thanks, Matthias

The two ‘test’ items below are easier, as they just use blockquote so you can add this to your css

#bbpress-forums blockquote {
  color: green;
}

I presume that you don’t want to change the class in the other plugin?

I tried this but it did not work.
I’m using the bbPress Toolbox plugin and and I did activate bbc code as the method to use quotes so all that happens is a < blockquote > tag added.

I’ve added your suggestion to the css file, which I put in my child theme folder (themes/childtheme/bbpress/bbpress.css).

No difference though, bbpress still uses the CSS from my style.css.

probably better to contact the bbPress Toolbox plugin support !

I just found a solution by using the same code in the CSS options of the bbp Style Pack plugin. Thanks!
