Blockquote not working in comments – wp 1.5

  • I am not sure but since I have upgraded to wp 1.5, blockquotes have not been working properly in my comments..

    in what file am i able to check that it is coded correctly? all of the tags such as strong, em, link, etc.. they all work. its the blockquote only.

    Thanks!

  • I would imagine that this is because blockquote is deprecated, and no longer part of HTML spec. I don’t expect you can call your page XHTML Strict and use old tags like that.

    “I would imagine that this is because blockquote is deprecated, and no longer part of HTML spec.”
    That’s incorrect. Using blockquotes to ident text is deprecated in favour of stylesheets but the tag/element itself is not deprecated. It’s still in the XHTML specs and DTDs.

    With regards to the OP: Your blockquotes in the comments are “not working correctly” because you don’t have a styling defined for them in the style.css You do, however, have a style for
    .post blockquote{...}

    Either remove the .post or add an appropriate style def.
