 * When I want to use blockquote, I don’t have the blockquote icon, the text is 
   alligned correctly.
 * Is it only me or this is a general issue?

 * This is a fairly common issue and you’re not alone! The missing Blockquote button
   in the Classic Editor can be hidden in the second row of the toolbar because 
   of setting or style conflict with a theme or a plugin. On the other hand, only
   one row of the toolbar is shown by default. To fix this, make sure you’re in 
   the Visual tab (not the Text tab), then look for the Toolbar Toggle button at
   the right of the toolbar options. It looks like two rows of small squares. Click
   it, and the second row of buttons should appear and you’ll likely see the Blockquote
   button there.

 * If the button still doesn’t appear, it might not be configured to show. In that
   case, install and activate the TinyMCE Advanced plugin (now called “Advanced 
   Editor Tools”) from the WordPress plugin directory. Go to Settings → TinyMCE 
   Advanced, where you’ll find a drag-and-drop editor layout. Locate the Blockquote
   button and drag it into your toolbar, then click Save Changes. This gives you
   full control over which buttons appear and where they’re placed.

 * If none of these steps solve it, the issue could be caused by a theme or plugin
   conflict. Try temporarily switching to a default WordPress theme like Twenty 
   Twenty-Four, or deactivate your other plugins one by one while checking the editor
   each time. Once you identify the conflicting plugin or theme, you can either 
   adjust its settings or reach out to its support team for help.
