    I’m using blockquotes but I don’t like the standard fonts or the size on the theme. I am using the Child Theme. Is there any way I can change both the font and the font size for all block quotes? If I can only change the font size, it will be workable. It is just too small to read easily.

  • The best way is to use a plugin such as WP Google fonts, but if you are using a child theme and that is all you want to do is change the blockquote, then you would start your css as:

    blockquote {
    
    font-family: your choice here;
    font-size: your choice here;
    }

    Hi, I tried putting that code in the child theme style.css but there was no change. So I tried installing WP Google fonts and changed the font, but nothing happened.

    I really don’t care so much about the font (although I wish it wasn’t italic) but I do need it larger. Am I putting it in the wrong place in the child theme?

    what page has your blockquote(s) on?

    Oh so sorry… http://crazy8ministries.com/testimonials-test-page-2/

    The text in the slider is using blockquote, but just in case it was just the slider, I tried a regular blockquote below, but it is the same.

    Ah… I know why. The css for the theme uses this:

    blockquote p {
    
    }

    …which is overriding the other. So the changes would just simply go into the code I just did above.
