Justify/Reduce padding/margin

CL,

You seem to be taking random shots in the dark. CSS does not take kindly to random ??

(1) Using blockquote is really not necessary in this case. It’s meant for use within a normal page to set the quote apart visually. Since the testimonials are already set apart and styled, blockquote is redundant and making your CSS unnecessarily complex (read: headache).

Now, there may be SEO benefits to blockquotes in general but once your page is titled “Testimonials” or similar (you need to set up your permalinks, by the way) that benefit may be marginal. Any SEO experts care to weigh in?

(2) Using

.testimonial .content p:before {
content: '\201C';
}

.testimonial .content p:after {
content: '\201D';
}

is easier, more consistent, and more common than adding quotes manually. Either way is fine; pick one and stick with it. I like them because you can add other CSS rules to them like color, font-family, margin, etc.

(3) Consider removing the testimonial stylesheet altogether so the testimonial picks up style from your theme, then styling up as needed.

To do that, add this to your theme’s functions.php:

/* Skip loading of Strong Testimonials stylesheet */
function my_dequeue_styles() {
  wp_dequeue_style( 'wpmtst-style' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_dequeue_styles', 99 );

Here’s a tutorial demonstrating that on another plugin.

(4) Or, if you’re good with Photoshop or Paint.NET, post a mock-up of how you want it to look and I’ll do my best to code that up for you.

Chris,

Like I said..I went plugin crazy testing different things out. Before I start deleting, here is the list I promised.

Thanks, but that list belongs on your other thread.

Where are we on this one?

I’ll repost in the right spot. Close this one out–once I deactivated all this, this worked perfectly.

Thanks Chris–as promised I’m reposting here–regardless, they didn’t cause issues w/your setup.

You can mark this resolved.
