 * Hi,
 * I am working on this website: [http://shigroupchina.com/nl/testimonials-shi-group-china/](http://shigroupchina.com/nl/testimonials-shi-group-china/)
 * I disabled blockquotes in the overal settings and within my shortcode with this
   shortcode: [testimonialswidget_list disable_quotes=true target=_new].
 * But the blockquotes still are shown and I want them to be disabled.
 * Tried to apply css, but still not working.
 * What can I do?

 * Same issue as Jonathan, so I’ll piggyback to get updates.

 * Update:
 * This doesn’t remove the blockquotes, but styles then back to a more normal appearance,
   from Michael’s FAQ page.
 * .testimonials-widget-testimonial blockquote {
    font-size: 1em; border-left: none;
   padding-left: 0; margin-left: 0; }
 * Some of my testimonials were also wrapping in “code” tags. I applied the same
   CSS to the code tags as well. It’d be nice if there’s a way that they can just
   display in standard paragraph tags. Any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * [@jonathanfokker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonathanfokker/) did you
   try [https://aihrus.zendesk.com/entries/24910733-How-to-Correct-Testimonials-Widget-CSS-Issues](https://aihrus.zendesk.com/entries/24910733-How-to-Correct-Testimonials-Widget-CSS-Issues).
 * I’m referring to [http://shigroupchina.com/nl/testimonials-shi-group-china/](http://shigroupchina.com/nl/testimonials-shi-group-china/)
   for the following.
 * I did the steps and scrolled down a ways on the applied css to find.
 *     ```
       media="screen"
       .social_icons a, #scroll_to_top, .top-aside .social_icons a, .article_preview strong a, .member-contact-email, .member-contact-twitter, .member-contact-facebook, .member-contact-google, .member-contact-linkedin, .member-contact-phone, #banner-search input, .tabs_type_1_arrow, .accordion dt:before, .accordion dt.current:before, .post-categories, .post-leave-comment, .metadata, .tt-notification.success p:before, .tt-notification.error p:before, .tt-notification.warning p:before, .tt-notification.tip p:before, .tt-notification.neutral p:before, .tt-icon:before, .tt-mono-icon:before, .tabs_type_2_arrow, .closeable-x:before, .banner-slider .next, .banner-slider .prev, .pagination li a, .pagination li.current a, .pagination li a:hover, blockquote:before, .top-aside ul.custom-menu a .sf-sub-indicator {
       background: url(images/global/sprite.png) no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * Buried in there is `blockquote:before {
    background: url(images/global/sprite.
   png) no-repeat; }`
 * So if you try something like the following, the left pull quote should go away.
 *     ```
       .testimonials-widget-testimonial blockquote:before {
       background-image: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * [@kvwebmaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvwebmaster/), what’s your
   URL? Did you debug as well per above link?

    Thanks. That did the
   trick!
