Customizing Blockquotes In Hueman Theme

  • I’m trying to customize blockquote in Hueman using the Simple CSS plugin … but it isn’t taking.

    I want to remove the big “open quote” symbol and change the font — most of all, change the font-style from italic to normal — which sounds simple enough.

    But it isn’t working for me. I’m able to change the basic p and header h1 h2 h3 etc CSS tags, but blockquote is not picking up what I want.

    Any idea where I’m going wrong here?

    Here’s the code I’ve concocted in Simple CSS:

    blockquote {
    font-family: 'Signika', sans-serif;
    font-style: normal;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-size: 1.2em;
}

    (And yes, I’ve got the Signika font hooked in properly from Google Fonts.)

    Thanks for any advice you can shovel my way!

    ADD: I am working in a cloned (Childify Me) child theme, not in the original Hueman load.

    Can you please post a link to a page or post where you have a blockquote element? Thanks.

    Bruin,

    Thanks for checking, but I think I got it — I missed the p tags inside the blockquote tags, which were overriding (or counteracting) the blockquote styles.

    OK, great. If you want to remove the quote mark at the beginning, add this:

    
.entry blockquote:before {
   display: none;
}
