    This is such a simple issue, but it just looks really bad. About two updates ago, the cellpadding on the left side of the blockquote disappeared. I never said anything because I figured it would get fixed pretty quickly, but that hasn’t happened. Is there a list somewhere of known issues that are being worked and a guestimate of when they might be released?

    Thanks everyone. I’m new to this community, but already impressed with what happens here.

    Hi @djgray

    I checked your site and can confirm that the blockquote currently has no left padding. As a workaround, you can add some custom CSS:

    .wp-block-quote {
  padding-left: 20px;
}

    You can adjust the 20px value to whatever looks best for your site.

    Since I’m not sure whether you’re using a block (FSE) theme or a classic theme, the exact location may vary, but you can usually add this under Appearance ->Customize->Additional CSS (classic themes) or Appearance->Editor ->Styles->Additional CSS if your theme supports it.

    David, thank you for the astonishingly rapid response. This is a great workaround. I’ll try to get this implemented this afternoon!!

    Thank you again!

    Well, shoot . . . That CSS was already in Appearance ->Customize->Additional CSS. I marked this as “resolved” because I was confident in the proposed solution/workaround.

    I’ll work on massaging it anyway, but it seems that specific style is being ignored in recent WP Updates.

    .wp-block-quote {
    margin-left: 20px;
    padding-top: 15px;
    padding-bottom: 1px;
    border-left: 7px solid #38C273
    }

    GOT IT!!

    Thanks again, David for pointing me down the Additional CSS path.

    /* Target the inner paragraph where WordPress forces padding/margin rules */
    .wp-block-quote p {
    padding-left: 20px !important;
    }

    /* Keep existing styles on the main container, adding a fallback just in case */
    .wp-block-quote {
    margin-left: 40px !important;
    padding-top: 15px !important;
    padding-bottom: 1px !important;
    border-left: 7px solid #38C273 !important;
    }
