    Hi Tom

    I wanted to show a graphic (quote-icn.png) in a blockquote. Here’s the CSS code (using custom CSS from jetpack).
    blockquote:before, blockquote:after {
    content: ”;
    content: none;
    }

    #content .single-entry-content blockquote {
    background: url(./images/quote-icon.png) no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    font-style: italic;
    margin: 10px 20px 10px 0;
    padding: 0 0 0 80px;
    }

    #content .entry-content blockquote {
    background: url(./images/quote-icon.png) no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    font-style: italic;
    margin: 10px 20px 10px 0;
    padding: 0 0 0 80px;
    }

    First issue:
    image can’t be found. So i put the code direct into style.css. It worked well. (had to modify stlye.css again after latest theme update, no biggy)
    Second issue:
    it doesn’t work with Safari and now, it doesn’t work at all.

    Thanks for any idea.

    Hi Paul,

    1. I would use a full URL to your icon instead of using a relative path.

    2. Give this a try:

    blockquote {
          background: url(http://yoururl.com/images/quote-icon.png) no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
          font-style: italic;
          margin: 10px 20px 10px 0;
          padding: 0 0 0 80px;
    }

    Dear Tom

    thank you very much for your timely response again!
    I have to apologize, because the mistake was on my side. Due to your hint I figured out, that I didn’t save the icon in the /images folder, but in the /theme/generatepress/images folder. Due to the latest update of your theme, the file was deleted/overridden by that.

    Now I have stored that image in the appropriate folder and it works fine! The phenomena of showing the icon or not was because of browser cache respectively of the cachify plugin, i am using.

    Again, sorry and take care, Paul
