Custom CSS Randomly deleting \ in code for block quote

    Here is my code in my custom css field:

    blockquote:before {
    font-family: Georgia, serif;
    position: absolute;
    font-size: 6em;
    line-height: 1;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    content: “\201C”;
    color: #502d7f;
    }

    The \ in the content line will appear to save, and it will work for a time and the quote looks right, but then it will start displaying 201C and I go back to the custom css and the \ has been deleted. Any idea why or how I can prevent it from deleting. I am using the Graphene theme.

  • This is in the theme code. This can be changed, but I forget where!!!

    Alternatively, you could also, use a child theme and then write the code in the “editor” rather than the custom CSS field.

    Thanks. I was afraid it was coming from the theme. I am a sub-site and don’t have full administrative access, so I am stuck relying on the theme to allow me to customize. I think I will just change it to use images.
