Row/Column Width

Hi,

thanks for your question.

Your assumption is correct, this happens because the column is that wide, where as the background color for the images is set on a <div> wrapper around the image, in the other row.

To change this, I’d actually like to suggest a slightly different table structure: Instead of splitting the orange image title and the image+caption into different cells, you should put them into the same cell, and even into the same <div> wrapper.
So, basically, change the content of the cell with the image to

<div id="attachment_700" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="https://gfa.carolyncreates.com/tropical-family-7-day/"><b>Tropical Family – 7 Day Itinerary</b></a><a href="https://gfa.carolyncreates.com/family-itineraries/tropical-family-7-day/" rel="attachment wp-att-700"><img src="https://gfa.carolyncreates.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Tropical-Family-7-Day-Itinerary.jpg" alt="Tropical Family 7 Day Itinerary" width="300" height="225" class="size-full wp-image-700" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Psyching up for the Canopy Tour in Monte Verde!</p></div>

(I took the content of the first cell and pasted immediately after the opneing <div ...> tag, and added <b>...</b> around the text.)
Then, the orange text will be within the gray background, and you can actually delete the rows with the titles.

Thanks Tobias, I like this idea and have implemented it.
Do you know why I would have a larger white space between row 2 and 3 then between 1 and 2?

Many thanks for your help!

Hi,

good to hear that this works and that you like it ??

About the larger white space: In the second row, the cells have some extra line breaks after the closing </div> tag. Just remove those line breaks, and the spacing should be ok again.

Oy! I’ve been firebugging and staring and that was all?!

You’re great. Thanks for the awesome service. I will be donating to your plugin – you more than deserve it!

Hi,

yep, that’s it ?? I guess, I was just lucky to spot this (ok, it was intuition and experience, to some degree… ?? )

And thanks for the donation, I really appreciate it!

Best wishes,
Tobias
