Blockquote problem

  • I have a customized blockquote css set up for my blog, but the first paragraph is different from the rest of the paragraphs.

    example: https://sarahtest.pwacanada.com/2012/07/incarceron/

    I am trying to get all the text the purple colour, but with the spacing of the second paragraph.

    I a using Mantra theme with a custom child. My child theme has the css:

    blockquote {
    border:3px dotted #34717c;
    padding:8px;
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    quotes:none;
    font-style: italic 14px;
    margin:6px;
    clear:none;
    color: #4F3449;
    line-height:1.3em;
    }

    Thanks for the assistance.

  • The problem with the code is that WordPress messes things up when using blockquotes. If you look at the source code, the first sentence is missing the opening p tag.

    I would try adding the following to your css.

    blockquote p {
 color: #4F3449;
}

    That should make the second sentence the same.
