Title: Author formatting Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Author formatting * Resolved [Lab Lover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterscaffidi/) * (@peterscaffidi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/) * Hi Michael, I hope you are well. * After applying the last couple of updates to this plugin, the formatting of the quote author has gotten a bit out of whack. Previously the author name was displayed right aligned, preceded by a hyphen. Now the author is left aligned with a hyphen on the far right. * Could you take a look and give some clues where to begin? I have already enabled q-tags. * [http://www.bpdglobal.com](http://www.bpdglobal.com) * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/testimonials-widget/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/testimonials-widget/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Contributor [Michael Cannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/comprock/) * (@comprock) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3641885) * Too much fun… * Can you double-check your latest Testimonials Widget version? I think you’re on 2.11.x than 2.11.2. * Otherwise, I don’t see a clear reason yet why the CSS is funky. Test systems show fine and debugging doesn’t give much of a clue. * Thread Starter [Lab Lover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterscaffidi/) * (@peterscaffidi) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3641890) * Yeah, no… I am on 2.11.2 * I have this in my custom includes from the earlier install, maybe that is causing the conflict? * #header-widgets {width:280px;padding-top:15px;} .testimonialswidget_testimonial q { quotes: none; color: #617284; font-style: italic; font-size: 110%; font-weight: normal; } blockquote { margin: auto; } * .testimonialswidget_testimonial .testimonialswidget_open_quote:before, .testimonialswidget_testimonial. testimonialswidget_close_quote:after { content: none; } * Plugin Contributor [Michael Cannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/comprock/) * (@comprock) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3642192) * To get rid of the double quoting, remove the `blockquote` tags you have around content in the testimonials. * For the author alignment, that’s theme related, but try the fix below. * `.testimonialswidget_testimonial .author { float: none; }` * Thread Starter [Lab Lover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterscaffidi/) * (@peterscaffidi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3642193) * Thank you Michael. * I do not have any blockquote tags around my individual testimonials. * As for the author alignment and the hanging hyphen, I tried entering the fix you provided into my custom includes and there was no change. * Plugin Contributor [Michael Cannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/comprock/) * (@comprock) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3642194) * Where’s the CSS edits in [http://www.bpdglobal.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/suffusion/custom-styles.css](http://www.bpdglobal.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/suffusion/custom-styles.css)? * A testimonial “If only his mind were as easy to fix as his body.” by Han Nolan and others, have `blockquote` around the text and that provided by testimonials widget. * Can you please check your testimonials again? * Thread Starter [Lab Lover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterscaffidi/) * (@peterscaffidi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3642195) * I got rid of the double quote by enabling the “Use q tag” setting in the widget. I don’t have a clue what that means. I would still love to get rid of the hanging hyphen to the right of the testimonial author. * Thread Starter [Lab Lover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterscaffidi/) * (@peterscaffidi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3642196) * The Suffusion theme has a “custom incudes” section in the theme settings. In there I have the following CSS modifications for the Testimonial plugin. * .testimonialswidget_testimonial q { quotes: none; color: #617284; font-style: italic; font-size: 110%; font-weight:normal; } * blockquote { margin: auto; } * .testimonialswidget_testimonial .testimonialswidget_open_quote:before, .testimonialswidget_testimonial. testimonialswidget_close_quote:after { content: none; .testimonialswidget_testimonial. author { float: none; } * Thread Starter [Lab Lover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterscaffidi/) * (@peterscaffidi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3642197) * You were absolutely correct, there was a blockquote tag on that quote…. * Now I am confused as to why some have it and why some don’t * Plugin Contributor [Michael Cannon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/comprock/) * (@comprock) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/author-formatting/#post-3642198) * Please recheck your CSS.
