Blockquote not working in Classic Editor

    Hi.

    The blockquote function doesn’t appear to be working, for me at least, in Classic Editor. The selected section of text previews as indented within the editor, but not the preview page, and when published remains the full width of the page and indistinguishable from the rest of the text. Am I missing something obvious?

    That sounds more like a layout issue. The theme you are using is responsible for that. A link to the page might help – or you can contact the support of your theme.

    Ah, thanks. Post in question linked below. I got around the issue, temporarily, by editing the post in HTML and adding blockquote code copied from my old Typepad blog, which works but obviously isn’t ideal. Not sure whereabouts in the theme (Sigurd) settings to look.

    I am confused. So you found a way to fix your problem. What do you see under the link then? The problem or your solution?

    As I said, my solution is not a practical thing to do every time I want to use blockquotes. Pasting in HTML from my old Typepad blog – every time – isn’t ideal.

    Hi, threadi.

    I’ve been experimenting with shortcodes and found one that does the same job. Thanks.
