Thanks for your suggestions, Tom.
I will investigate further, and let you know what the result is.
Thanks for pointing out the 404 error too. 🙂
abrightclearwebMemberThanks Dave for the compliment. 🙂
The problem still remains, though.
Can anyone help?
abrightclearwebMemberIt is weird! That code shows the italics for me in Firefox and Safari, but not in Chrome, IE or Opera.
Could you try removing the <p> tags from each of your blockquote tags in the text editor, so you have:
<block-quote>“We are BEYOND thrilled with the results of the paint selections we made with Diane. She has an incredible eye for color and we couldn’t have done it without her. She helped us choose nearly 20 paint colors for our entire interior and exterior and the compliments we get are never ending. She was so thorough and detailed with every single room and we can’t possibly thank her enough for her expertise and patience! I would (and already have) recommend her to anyone. She saved us time, money and that awful feeling you get when you select the wrong color and have to repaint! Thank you again Diane!”</block-quote>
and see if that works? (Keep the <p> tags for the testimonial authors.)
Failing that, you could try adding an inline style to the blockquote tags, like this:
<block-quote style="font-style: italic;" >“We are BEYOND thrilled with the results of the paint selections we made with Diane. She has an incredible eye for color and we couldn’t have done it without her.

NB I've had to add hyphens to the blockquote tags so they don't display as blockquotes on the forum. You shouldn't do this.
I don't have your theme so I can't test this with certainty myself, but hopefully it will work.
abrightclearwebMemberOK, try adding an !important to the rule, so you have:
blockquote, blockquote::before { color: #999; font-style:italic !important; }
abrightclearwebMemberIn that case, you had it right the first time.
Make your blockquote style
font-style: italic;
, and don't apply italic to the blockquote text in the visual editor. You don't need to do both.abrightclearwebMemberSorry, I'm getting mixed up here.
Let me get this right:
You want the blockquote text to be normal font weight in your stylesheet, but only italic when you use the visual editor's italic setting?
And that's not working?
Do you actually want some of the quotes as italic and some normal font?
abrightclearwebMemberTry going to this block of code in your child theme's style.css (line 205):
blockquote, blockquote::before { color: #999; font-style:italic; }
and change the line
font-style:italic;
to
font-style:normal;
abrightclearwebMemberHi Judith
Making your site look great cross-browser can be a tricky business. What browser and operating system do you normally use, and do you know what the old PC used?
I tried your site using this cross-browser tool here: http://www.browserstack.com/screenshots/. You can try this yourself by entering the URL and selecting the browsers and OS to test. Then scroll down and click Generate screenshots.
More specifically, the problem seems to lie with IE7 and IE8. I get a slightly different screenshot using IE8
on Windows 7 from the tool, but your footer has jumped up out of place and the blue background is behind all your content.Sorry I can't be more helpful than this at the moment.
Did you make many modifications to your child theme?
