Title: Beginner help – please help me edit the code Last modified: May 6, 2020 --- # Beginner help – please help me edit the code * [hazelwatson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hazelwatson/) * (@hazelwatson) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beginner-help-please-help-me-edit-the-code/) * Hi community! I hope you can help me. I am no expert at wordpress and I’m hoping this is a simple thing to resolve. * Please see the link to my webiste – [https://www.hazelwatson.co.uk/about](https://www.hazelwatson.co.uk/about) at the bottom of the page are some quotation marks that I do not want. They are also visible on the ‘art’ page too. I think that this is due to the code < p > < block quote > < /block quote > < / p > however I cannot find how to delete this in the back end of wordpress. Can someone advise? I will be grateful for any suggestions. * Many thanks, Hazel - This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [hazelwatson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hazelwatson/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbeginner-help-please-help-me-edit-the-code%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [kaushalsheth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaushalsheth/) * (@kaushalsheth) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beginner-help-please-help-me-edit-the-code/#post-12789754) * Go to Pages -> About page and click Edit. * You should find Blockquote block at the end of the page content. Delete it to remove the blockquote in question. * Thread Starter [hazelwatson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hazelwatson/) * (@hazelwatson) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beginner-help-please-help-me-edit-the-code/#post-12789803) * Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The weird thing is that when I edit the page there is no quote marks and even when I click to edit the HTML the < block quote> code is not there. I have also checked the templates in the theme editor and there is nothing to show so I don’t know how to delete even the code. * When I create a new page it automatically adds these quotes and it is a mystery to me. I have created this blank test page which is totally empty yet it still has the quotes – where are they coming from?

Classic editor/ Gutenberg or something else?. If possible can you add screenshot of the backend editor. * In classic editor, you should see following code at the end of the page `

I am using the Editor that is built into wordpress, I have attached a screenshot to show the HTML editor on the Art page here : [http://www.hazelwatson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2.jpg](http://www.hazelwatson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2.jpg) As you will see there is no blockquote. * I also have the ability to edit via the Theme Editor in the Appearance menu here: [http://www.hazelwatson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/1.jpg](http://www.hazelwatson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/1.jpg) But I have searched on every page and I cannot find the blockquote. * Should I install a classic editor? * Thanks again * [kaushalsheth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaushalsheth/) * (@kaushalsheth) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beginner-help-please-help-me-edit-the-code/#post-12789939) * Try installing classic editor [https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/) plugin and check the same page under HTML to see if `
