How can I change the background color of the quoted text or change the text color of the quoted text
So you can see that is being quoted?

This is only happening while making a post






once your post is posted it go's back to normal

style rules defined for blockquote should be affecting.

try to use browser inspect tool to check which stylesheet is applied for the editor
so that you can modify required background & color of blockquote element

Thanks for the reply

I have tried the browser inspect tool and found the stylesheet even tested a new color with the browser inspect tool and looks ok, but when I edit the jquery.sceditor.monocons.css file and refresh the page there is no change its still white with white text.

here is the inspect tool when I changed the color

have you tried hard refreshing browser (eg. press CTRL + F5) after saving changes to the stylesheet ?
if that doesn't help then you may have to add !important; to the style property (like below)

background: #252323 !important;

I have just tried it the hard refresh and adding the important code and restarting the browser but it still showing as white and when checking it with the inspect tool  its still got  background: white;

this is what is in the jquery.sceditor.monocons.css

blockquote {
position: relative;
background: #0f0e0e!important; 
margin: .25em .05em 0 0;
border: 1px solid #fa710a;
padding: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
border-radius: 6px;
}

I'm lost to what is going would there be anywhere else that could be affecting this ?

Hi,

typo error:

background: #0f0e0e!important;

Should be:

background: #0f0e0e !important;

Just tried it but it still will not change.

Maybe if I can have an URL, I'll check it to see if another CSS it's interfering...

Hi,

everything it's OK:


So as .m. said, it's a cache thing, of your browser or server.

Props to .m.
