I’m glad I found you guys. I’m having a big alignment problem that I’m hoping you can help me out with. What I’m trying to do shouldn’t be hard, but has been.

On my page, I am trying to put a picture on the left, then writing to the RIGHT of it. I want about 9 pictures justified to the left with writing next to everyone. However, it keeps looking like this.

As you can see, it doesn’t justify to the left. I try hitting RETURN, and it looks correct in my editor, but when I press “UPDATE POST”, it gets rid of those hard returns and screws it all up.

I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything writing. Putting my cursor where I want the picture, then adding an image, and selecting “Align Left” or clicking on the “Align Left” button. Please help? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have referenced this entry of yours. Thanks for this helpful information. I manage a lot of blogs and every now and then I’ll notice that one of them, usually and older one with an older theme, needs this bit of code in the stylesheet.css. Thanks!

I’m not used to build up wordpress themes, just using the ones shared in the internet and, I must admit, this alignment problem messed with my layout for more than a yr. Thank you for helpin’ me solving this issue!

Hi,

This didn’t work for me, but I managed to fix it. I noticed when trying to center pictures it never worked, it kept trying to use the tag ‘aligncenter’ so I just added this to all the code provided here and put it in the style.css, and it worked. Give it a shot.

.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
