WEAVER II Image width cannot be controlled – text appears next to image

  • The text in Weaver II does not line up with the image properly in excerpt mode. I spend literally hours trying to get the image to “just the right size” – supposedly 938 pixels wide – but there is sort of an invisible narrow column on the right side of the image that allows a single character from the beginning paragraph to appear there and not with the rest of the paragraph. You just can’t get rid of it. If you go over a certain number of pixels (176,400) the “featured image” will replace the pages header image, so you have to keep the total pixel count below 176,400. (Easy enough to calculate.) But you also have to keep the image below 938 pixels as well. No matter how much you try, you just can’t get the image to take up the full width and the text to appear below it.

    After hours and hours of struggling to change the total pixel count of images by a few pixels, it still wouldn’t work. I gave up, put a smaller image in, and now there is a small column of text a few words wide, along the right side of the image. It looks stupid.

    There is no info on this text/image problem. Weaver II forum is dead/offline. Anybody have the same experience? Any solutions? Thanks!

    Thanks!

    “April 12
    WordPress 3.9 will be released soon. When it is released, older versions of Weaver II or Aspen will no longer work correctly with the WordPress Page/Post editor. The latest versions are Aspen 1.1.11 and Weaver II 2.1.10 (free and Pro). … Continue …”

    hope that helps bc I am having the same issue.

    Thanks for noticing my question / plea/ cry! ??

    BTW, I am using WeaverII Convention

    Actually, I don’t think the problem is related to any version incompatibility. It’s been a problem from the beginning.

    Last night I “fixed” (not really) the problem for the post by starting the post with a longer word. Originally, the post began with “I”. Because there was a narrow space (call it an “invisible column”) between the right of the photo (set as the “featured image”) and the end of the page margin, the letter “I” fit in and so the post started with the letter “I” way up at the top next to the photo, and because the next word in the sentence was a little longer and would not fit in this narrow invisible “column,” the rest of the post began (as the whole thing should have) directly below the photo. So the post began with “I” at the extreme upper right, and then long white margin all the way down to the end of the photo, and then the paragraph continued from the lfet under the photo. Bad! (Hope you follow me so far.)

    Now, if you make the photo smaller, you increase the width of this invisible column on the right so that more short words fit. In that case, you can have the blog post appearing as a very narrow column, almost like a “chimney” to the right of the photo, for the entire length of the photo, until is “spills” over and continues under the photo as a normal paragraph. That’s very weird, but better than the alternatives.

    Now if you make the photo too big – “too big” is defined as >176,200 total pixels and/or greater than 940 pixels wide, then the photo (the featured image) will replace the blog header image! Don’t want to do that.

    So, we begin a dance to get a photo that is precisely 938 pixels wide but less than 176,200 total pixels, which starts to get very time consuming (even though i know how to do this very easily) because even if you do this, it still doesn’t necessarily work! The resolution of the photo (100dpi, 200dpi, 400 dpi etc) doesn’t seem to affect the process, as I’ve tried various resolutions with the same pixel formulations and it doesn’t seem to matter.

    That means every photo published is handled uniquely by WeaverII and it’s strictly a guess as to weather it will work or not. There is no documentation on this, and as I said earlier, the WeaverII forum is dead.

    Clearly, the solution is some kind of coding as in HTML coding, a simple “P” new paragraph symbol you can insert to the right of the photo, or some other coding that you can have a simple checkbox “Keep Image On It’s Own Line” or some such option.

    In the meantime, I just have to start each post with at least a 3 letter word. No “A” or “I” or any of many two letter words… This is a “solution” but it’s like hunting rabbits with hand grenades. It may work, but it’s not really how you are supposed to do it…

    To force the text to start below the Image on some excerpt you can do one of two things:
    Switch your content editor to Text mode and insert the code below before the text
    <br style=”clear: both;” />

    or insert the CSS Rule below in the Per Post Style box at the bottom of Weaver option for this post
    .entry-summary p {clear:both;}
