Block quotes only center

Hi,

From what I’ve tested I think there’s an issue just in the editor https://prnt.sc/qlq7lg. On the frontend, the alignment is working well https://prnt.sc/qlq7oa.

We’ll have a look at the issue in the editor, but in the meantime, you should be able to use this on your site.

Hmm. I couldn’t get that to work yesterday. All of my pages with block quote are centered – maybe there was some problem in the theme change that lost the left align setting and I need to reset them all – bummer.

Before your reply I added this CSS below to a couple of the blocks and it works though it still looks wrong in the Gutenberg editor. I suppose a WP problem…

selector p.wp-block-quote {
text-align: left;
}

My menu alignment is not working either. No matter what alignment I select everything is center aligned.

And this only started when I switched from Amadeus to Neve. Seems to me a theme issue?

Wordpress has replied that this is a theme issue:

Hi @rstar1web,

I didn’t say the issue is with the WP, just that it was related to the editor.
From what I’ve tested, on front end is working well, the problem appears just in the backed, and we’ll have a fix for this in the theme, in the next updates. And if you want to have it fixed by then, you can add this custom code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

#editor .editor-styles-wrapper blockquote.wp-block-quote {
text-align: left;
}
#editor .editor-styles-wrapper blockquote.wp-block-quote.has-text-align-right {
text-align: right;
}
#editor .editor-styles-wrapper blockquote.wp-block-quote.has-text-align-center {
text-align: center;
}

Thank you! Your support has been great. I do not need any of the Pro features, but I will sign up shortly, just to $upport the work you all do.

Sorry for the confusion – front end, back end, editor – I am not really a coder, just figuring out as I go along to get the website looking good. ??

I know this thread is on block quote alignment, but I have the same problem with the menu – same issue – it won’t center. Hoping the next theme update fixes that as well.

Hi Bob,

For the menu, make sure you chose the center layout https://prnt.sc/qq9kl9. Not sure what issue there is in the theme about this. Let me know some more details ( some screenshots of the backend would help, so I can understand the issue )

The theme update came a week ago or so and the menu alignment is still not working. I have the header alignment set to left justify and it is still centered in desktop view. Mobile view is left justified. https://judithstarkston.com

Hi,

You are right, there’s an issue on desktop with the menu alignment. We’ve fixed this and it will be included in the next update, which should happen this week.

Thank you!
