Custom Pull-Quotes not formatted correctly when Sidebar is not present

There’s really nothing I can tell from an image. The pull-quotes don’t look bad, but I don’t know what your intent is. Do the built-in pull-quote styles look normal?

If they do then this really is more of a request for help using CSS itself, which is kind of beyond the scope of plugin support.

So there should be two images in that set, showing the discrepancy between the sidebar being enabled and the sidebar being disabled. In the first image, the pull-quotes are perfect. The issue here is that the sidebar is enabled and conflicts with the overall look of the site.

The pull-quotes operate differently without the sidebar being present, as seen in the second image. They don’t overlap into the text the same way as the first image, which is the goal here.

The built-in styles do the same thing.

If this is beyond the scope, I apologize.

Okay, here’s a guess: In the latter photo, you have a different type of nesting with the HTML tags.

If you start with this:

P
..SPAN class=”pullquote”
/P

You get:

ASIDE (pullquote text) /ASIDE
P
..SPAN
/P

That is, the pull-quote is created before the *parent* of the span. Hopefully that will help you adjust the structure of you Theme.
