    1. Yes. It’s easier to customize a bit at a time, then stand back, take a look, and move to the next part. So, upload first and then do your modifications. Set up a good backup regimen because inevitably, you’ll make mistakes.

    Some themes have a lot of customization options; others don’t and you’ll have to get into the CSS and/or PHPP.

    2. I like WordFence.

    3. There are many. Search YouTube, WordPress.tv, etc.

    1 : i have managed make the block quote work in 1 post .

    https://www.abdorefky.com/testing-post/

    but in the other post it’s not working.

    https://www.abdorefky.com/test/?preview_id=802&preview_nonce=4c17af1364&post_format=standard&_thumbnail_id=-1&preview=true

    what might be the cause of this problem ?

    2 : the text editor it self doesn’t display the block quote GUI.
    can i edit that to make it visable while create my posts s??

    correction : while creating my posts

    @abdorefky, regarding #1 try to create replicate with same process by “selecting the contents” and click-to-insert block-quote around the contents. It should work for you again.

    Regarding #2, yes there is a tool menu called b-quote available in text editor tool bar to block quote your content.

    Hope this helps !

    Dear suascat

    1: still doesn’t work for mentioned post and work for another.

    regarding 2:

    the question is : can i edit the text editor display behavior ?

    the block quote is available to use but it doesn’t display it self on the text editor GUI.
    it just moves the text like 5 spaces. even for the post that it’s working on it.

    take a look here at the post the Block quote working on it from text editor view :

    while at wordpress.com text editor that was the view.

    (its nice) but they demand money to make it work it show.
    here is doesn’t show but sometimes work
    how do i get such luck.
