How Do You Post Text Next to a Picture?

  • When I post text and a picture (using the visual editor, not html), the text always appears above the picture or below it and I want it to appear next to the picture. I wonder if maybe there’s a rule I need to add into my style.css file to fix this?

    Thanks for the help!

  • Upload your image with the image uploader (in the visual editor) and set alignment to left or right.

    You can add a rule to your style.css smth like

    .entry img {float:left;}

    but you’d better leanr using your visual editor, it’s under the picture

    alignment
    no left right center

    I align pics each time differently, sometimes to the left, sometimes no Celebrity Plastic Surgery Blog

    That was the first thing I tried, it didn’t change anything. I also tried it using some other themes and had the same problem. How I format it in the visual editor is not how it appeared on the site.

    I’ve inserted the code described here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Images into my style.css so the alignment in the visual editor IS working.

    The trouble is -sorry i don’t think I explained this well enough originally- the text isn’t showing up in the same position on when posted as it does in the visual editor.

    For example: I have a large picture and one line of text that I want to sit to the right of the picture, about halfway down it. I format it the way I want in the visual editor, but in the actual post, the text is parallel to the top of the picture, not halfway down it. Is it possible to fix this so the page exactly reflects the formatting in the visual editor?

    If you “format” it in the visual editor with extra “returns” WP takes them out.Putting `</br> in the html editor also disappears when yo switch later to visual en save again.
    Try TinyMCEAdvanced for more control.

    Thanks henkholland! So basically you’re saying the solution is: find a plugin.

    I installed TinyMCEAdvanced and it gave me more text editing option but didn’t solve my formatting issue. I’ll keep searching for another plugin, but if anyone knows of one, please post it! Thanks!
