Body Text Alignment next to a Pullquote

If you can post a link to your site with the short code in place, I’ll be happy to take a look.

Sure thing.

This is where the code is placed, note that the pullquote is also meant to be on the right, but it appears on the left regardless. But you can see how the whole body text paragraph isn’t justified anymore.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>[pullquote align=“right” cite="" link="" color="#0BD9E8" class="" size="18"]The?slaughterhouse occupies a contradictory position within society.[/pullquote]</strong>Piers Beirne had theorised that the institutionalised harming of animals might actually affect the perpetrators, explaining that "whenever human-animal relationships are marked by authority and power, and thus by institutionalised social distance, there is an aggravated possibility of extra-institutional violence".?The?slaughterhouse occupies a contradictory position within society that other industrial processes do not. <strong>Formal regulations?about requiring "humane" slaughter directly acknowledge that sentient animals who are being killed?are worthy of protection—yet those who?are engaged in the work of the slaughterhouse also develop emotional constructions that allow them?to actually carry this kind of work out.</strong></p>

It looks like you have some errors in your HTML. Try the following:

• Make sure all of your paragraph text is actually contained within a <p> tag in your WordPress post. From looking at your article, the paragraph that begins with “Piers Beirne had theorised that the” doesn’t appear to be contained within a <p> tag at all.

I played with your HTML, and once you implement this change, your paragraph text will remain justified. It’s just an issue with your WordPress post and its HTML structure. See here: https://imgur.com/1eLjz1p

I’ve worked out the justify issue.

<p style="text-align: justify;"> needs to be after the pullquote code.

I still don’t understand why the pullquote sits left aligned when I’m specifying right alignment in the code though :/

According to the HTML on the page, it says you specified align="left". When I inspect the element on the page, and change pullquote-align-left to pullquote-align-right the pull quote is right-aligned and displays properly.

Oh you just posted back, I hadn’t refreshed! Yeah, I had the p tag in the wrong spot. Thanks for your help.

Still baffled on the left/right alignment of the pullquote though haha

Sorry but I don’t see what you’re talking about. It shows as align=right

<strong>[pullquote align=“right” cite="" link="" color="#0BD9E8" class="" size="18"]The?slaughterhouse occupies a contradictory position within society.[/pullquote]</strong>

No problem. If you like the plugin, I’d really appreciate a review here or on my site

It seems the plugin gets a bit fussy over when it’s first inserted into a blog post, and if you change “left” align to “right” align. Upon saving it doesn’t seem to pick up the change despite the HTML showing the new align instruction.

Regardless, I can delete it, save and readd.

Thanks for your help. Will leave a review.

I just tested changing the alignment and don’t notice any issues. Is it possible your theme has other rules overriding the CSS? Sorry about the trouble, I wish I could help. I just don’t see any errors with the plugin based on your issue.

Yeah, it could be something in my theme that’s just being a bit silly. I’ve had a couple of minor things before. But it’s fine, now that I understand how to use it, it’s good ?? I left a review. Thanks for all of your quick responses.

No problem!
