Gary — My first guess is you have an error in your Theme. Possibly it is including the WordPress header stuff (scripts, etc.) twice.

Somehow or another, the one Pull-Quote script is being run twice.

ISSUE: My quotes are being duplicated as in I have two quotes for the one pull on a page. Can you assist?

Many thanks,

Gary

I installed Graceful Pull-Quotes and it is working somewhat OK. In the settings menu I can’t change from blockquote to div. It continues to revert back to blockquote. As a result the styling looks the same as a blockquote. Could there be a conflict with the theme CSS or other plugins? Is there a way to change this? I’m using the current version of WP and the Genesis/Lifestyle theme. You can see the results at 6starworldtravel.com/about.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Tara — To make changes to the CSS, I currently recommend adding the Pull-quote CSS to your site’s main CSS file, then go to the Pull-Quotes settings and turn on the “Do not link CSS” setting. The setting will prevent the plugin from loading its version of the styles, so whatever you put in the site’s styles can do its thing.

To start out, copy/paste the content of the “comics” CSS file from the plugin folder into your site’s CSS file. Then make whatever changes you want from there.

(In the future I plan to implement a better way of making custom pull-quote styles.)

Hi Stephen,
Really like the Graceful Pull Quote plugin, much better than others for the fact I don’t have to duplicate my text.

Hoping you or someone can help a not-so-geeky-gal. I am using the comic-sans style and have two questions.

1. I am manually adding — for my quotes in my blog. Is this correct? [Not sure what she meant to put there -- ed.]

2. I would like to enlarge the text in the pulled quote and change the color but can’t seem to figure out how. I went into the CSS file and changed the default font size from 1.3 to 2.0 but nothing changed.

Can you help?

Thanks again and will spread the word about GPQ.

Tara

Yes. In the earlier paragraph, create a pull-quote manually using an HTML comment.

Hmmm… I fiddled with it some, but couldn’t get it to nest in the above paragraph. Any hints as to how I might accomplish that?

The pull-quote appears at the top of the HTML “parent” of the span. In most cases, that’s the paragraph the span is in. If you were to monkey with the HTML you could probably get something else to happen. (Be aware, however, that WordPress by default adds “p” tags and such automatically….)
