Block Quote and Remove Background #f2f2f2
Closed

  • SanaNA started the conversation

    How can I edit the font (size, color, decoration) for blockquotes? I know the CSS says something about bootstrap - but I'm not THAT handy with the files.


    Also, how can I remove the #f2f2f2 background of posts, etc... Code that I added make the blog post white using #ffffff however, it leaves a border of the #f2f2f2. I assume that's a main area background.


    Thank you!

    HI there,

    You don\'t need to know Bootstrap in order to customize fonts and stuff, although this is regular CSS knowledge which is not actually theme related, unfortunately personal customizations are not included in regular support.

    To remove the posts background something like that should work (use the Custom CSS textarea not to lose your changes after a theme update):

    .article-content-wrapper .boxed {background-color: #FFF!important}

    Are you kidding me? The simple CSS to change the font size and decoration is not included in regular support? That should be included in the theme!!! That\'s absolutely ridiculous. The oversized font of the blockquote looks horrid. And I need to be able to make the font size of the main menu smaller so I can actually fit a good amount of content there. Typically, I could find where to do this in CSS - yet, nothing I\'ve tried with your theme works.


    AND... adding anything to the Custom CSS of your theme creates a \'post\' in the RSS feed that says \"safecss\". So, that\'s not going to work for me. Because them I have to go in to myphp to delete it anyway.

    Hi there,
    I feel sorry about your reaction but I\'m not kidding anyone, the support policy it\'s clearly stated in the item support tab, even though I usually try putting people on the right tracks, personal customizations can\'t be included unfortunately.

    If you don\'t like parts of the default typography, you can activate the custom typography and use your own fonts and base size. For obvious reasons there can\'t be an option to control every specific part of the typography such as blockquotes. They still can be altered with some basic knowledge of CSS, although it isn\'t the scope of support to teach coding.

    An alternative solution to the Custom CSS textarea is to use child themes.

    In your previous message there\'s no reference about menu items, this have been answered in previous tickets already, it should work for you as well.

    You can seriously give someone the css: .main-navigation {font-size: 20px!important;}

    to change font size for the navigation but you can\'t give me similar code to change it within the blockquote?

    You\'ve spent more time telling me that it isn\'t in your support than if you had typed the few characters of code. It\'s not as if I asked you to create a different layout option for posts, etc. (Which would actually be amazing if you added more sidebar/column layout options)

    Again, I\'m not sure why my edits to your CSS (because, yes, I do know how to make those types of edits) haven\'t resulted in these seemingly simple changes to customize the appearance ever so slightly to better fit my particular site. I mean, really. You\'d think it was as simple and similar to the code above - yet it doesn\'t work when I edit. But forget it.

    Since you asked for several things such as font size, colors, decorations, etc.. I just wanted to make sure it\'s clear that these are personal customizations which are not included in regular support, also because this is a public ticket others might read.
    Moreover calling that ridiculous or saying that the design looks horrible doesn\'t help ;)

    By the way, targeting blockquotes in CSS is as simple as

    blockquote { your CSS rules }

    Hope it helps

    Thank you - I\'ve tried that. But it doesn\'t work - I thought perhaps there was something that was overriding that. Maybe there\'s something else I\'ve done causing it to not work.
