Some more info and an update:

I’m using Longform with some plugins that don’t mess with post formatting at all. I have Aesop active, but I’m not currently using it on any post or page.

I created a child theme with Osorbius Child Theme Creator and use the Osorbius editor instead of the built-in CSS editor. Any CSS entered into this editor and saved in your child-theme will automatically be applied after the parent theme styles.

Any paragraph I want to have the drop-cap I gave the class “drop”

Now I just put the CSS into the editor and it works. Instead of “.entry-content” above (which applies style to every first paragraph on the site) I use “.drop”

I had the same problem and solved it by adding custom css. If I was smarter, I’d go back in and create a custom class I guess. I’m not up on the best practices honestly. Here’s the code I used:

.entry-content p:first-of-type:first-letter { float: left; color: #903; font-size: 75px; line-height: 60px; padding-top: 4px; padding-right: 8px; padding-left: 3px; font-family: Georgia;
