Thank you; it works.

Finally I decided for:

blockquote {
	color: #777;
  	padding: 10px 20px 0 20px;
	border: 1px solid #8B008B;
	margin: 0 1.615em;
}

p {
    margin-bottom: 0.8em;
}

Normally WordPress displays the .htaccess, which you need – depeding on using subdomains or subfolders.

But it sounds strange to me, that you write:

I installed Multisite on it. It automatically, without asking, activated the subdomain version.

So, maybe you didn’t got displayed the .htaccess, which you need. –

Anyone else has an idea regarding this issue?

Do you use the correct .htaccess for using subdomains (xy.DOMAIN.org)?

Or are you maybe using the file-version for subfolders (DOMAIN.org/xy?

I intended not to answer on your post, rather on MONIQUEEEE21’s.

Not sure what you mean.

The relevant point was:

MONIQUEEEE21 asked:

‘where in the style.css should I paste the codes?’

And my answer should express something like:

There is a difference between changing already existing parts of a certain style.css on the one hand and inserting entirely new code into a certain style.css on the other hand.

@ MONIQUEEEE21

PS.:

Instead of modyfing the original style.ccs it would be better, using “Simple Custom CSS”-Plugin or creating a so-called child-theme:

If there is already written something for

.inside-left-sidebar

and

article.type-post,

then you have to modify the alreday written code.

If there is nothing like that, then you can insert the new code anywhere.

Off topic:

'That won't work with GeneratePress'

I feared that. –

But: Why is there no general standard for writing themes, (so that it would be easier to “read” [and understand] different themes) and so that a certain insertion into the style.css (or other change of the style.css) of any theme would work for all themes and would have the same effect for all themes?

Now I have posted my request there:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/photos-transgress-widget-borders

and

(in German) there:

https://forum.wpde.org/plugins-und-widgets/133595-moreaboutme-widget-fotos-korrekt-einpassen.html

Try this:

But I don’t whether it works for your theme.

Cfr. now as well:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-remove-links-in-footer?replies=2#post-6040400

(I don’t know, whether it works.)

You have to say ‘Thank your’ to emilyTK – I have learnt it from her.

PS. @ padding

If it should apply to the entire sidebar, you have to insert it there:

div#secondary {
	background:#THE_COLOUR_YOU_LIKE;
}

If it should apply to the indivudal widgets, you have to insert it there:

div#secondary aside:nth-child(1n+1){
		border: 1px solid #THE_COLOUR_YOU_LIKE;
}

PPS.:

(1n+1) means the property applies to all widgets.

what if i wanted to add border to eacch widget

E.g.:

div#secondary aside:nth-child(1n+1){
		border: 1px solid #THE_COLOUR_YOU_LIKE;
}

please include some padding

Try this:

padding: 14px 20px 17px 0;

The padding-sequence is: top, right, bottom, left

each widget with own background color pls

Option 1st:

Themes/Editor —> Changing the CCS-File

Option 2 (better):

Using “Simple Custom CSS”-Plugin —> Inserting there the code

Option 3:

Creating a so-called child-theme and insertig there the code.

I guess, this should work also for you:

div#secondary {
	background:#THE_COLOUR_YOU_LIKE;
}
