Blockquote Messes Up Post

  • Hello

    I’ve only been working with WordPress for a day now, and I’ve almost got things sorted. I’ve just realised, than when I insert a pull-a-quote or a blockquote in a post, for some reason it eats up the line space between paragraphs. In I.E it looks ok, but in FireFox the space is eaten up. Have a look here (https://abdulrehman.co.uk/?p=15) to see what I mean. There should be a blank line before ‘Duis pulvinar..’

    Another example is here (https://abdulrehman.co.uk/?p=10). There’s a space before the blockquotes, but not after. How do I fix this?

    Any help is much appreciated.

  • Currently your theme’s style.css has this for a blockquote declaration:

    blockquote {
    margin:0;
    padding:0 18px;
    font-style:italic;
    }

    I’d suggest changing the margin property to something like:

    margin:12px;

    Thanks for that, it’s fixed.

    How about for the first problem. Anyone know how to fix that? “

    The code is not valid and IE doesn’t care. Do you have a blank line both before and after the blockquote in your post?

    That’s it, I needed a line after the blockquote.pullquote line in the post. I had it as the first line and the first line of text right after it like in one paragraph. Could someone check to see if there’s a line now in Firefox sererpating the two paragraphs?

    Thanks.

    I noticed earlier that you had fixed it and the code was valid.
