I can't for the life of me determine why blockquote doesn't work in my theme.

I don't have it referenced directly in any css anywhere, so why is it being disabled??

A quick Chrome "inspect element" on blockquotes in my theme test blog isn't yielding any useful information, either.

As is my norm, I tried copy/pasting blockquote css from a working theme into mine for a moment to see if it did anything. It didn't.

What am I missing here?


confirmed does not work in safari, chrome, and firefox. idk about ie b/c i haven't touched my windows computer in days, but yes i'll check there once i have it working in my main browsers.

Do you want to style blockquote?

   .post blockquote {
      border-left: 5px solid brown;
      padding-left: 15px;
      padding-top: 10px;
      margin: 10px;
   }

If i'm guessed wrong please clarify the main problem

Oh, I see. Blockquote is disabled by default, and has to be explicitly styled in order to work.

Not sure why the parts I stole from Redux didn't work, but yours is much more concice and perfect, thanks muchly!
