# Change Blockquote Format

 * Hello,
 * So I’m trying to change the default block quote style in OceanWP. There are two
   options inside the Gutenberg editor, but neither of them quite matches what I
   want to do. If I enter custom CSS into the theme editor to using the blockquote{}
   selector, everything works fine. The problem arises when I try to select using
   blockquote cite {} to change the format of the blockquote citation. The changes
   I make do not have any effect on the citation format, making me think I’m using
   the wrong selector. Does anyone know how to do this?
 * Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchange-blockquote-format%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello,
 * Try to use the below example css for the blockquote cite. Edit the code as per
   your need –
 *     ```
       .wp-block-quote cite {
           font-size: 14px;
       }
       ```
