Align is not working (even after reading all 30 something messages on the topic)

I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to do. The only img alignment CSS you need in your themes is here:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/CSS#WordPress_Generated_Classes

Unless you want to do something special, you set the alignment when you upload the image (or edit it). Then—if your stylesheet has the above info—you should be all set. Just add whatever padding/margins that you need. You can also include the rounded corner stuff you have there, though it’s not really supported cross browser.

I think it may have something to do with not setting the alignment since all of the images on the page you linked to had the class “alignnone” which wouldn’t change the alignment.

If you are trying to do something different, then I need some more details.

Hi tshirtfiend.

Actually, I don’t want to do anything else special.
This is what I am trying to do:
– I add the image (the first one), then I hit enter to go to the next line after the image. I type “Winged Creamer”, hit enter again and add the second image.

What is happening is that the text “Winged Creamer” is aligned to the right of the image, even though I have the image set as “none”

I included the code you gave me the link for and it still does not work.

Could I paste the CSS for my theme here? This may be helpful.

Thanks for your help.

Andre

If I understand correctly, it’s because you’re floating the image. Around line 34 of your style sheet, delete the whole line that says:
float:left
Alternately, if you wanted to keep the float, you could do:
p { clear:both }
If that doesn’t do it, let me know.

Hummm…not sure which one. There are quite a few (I apologize, but I am not very CSS-savvy).

If you have the time, please let me know which one should be change…but don’t worry if you don’t.

I think part of the confusion is that your theme uses multiple stylesheets. The main one that it uses (when rendering pages for the screen in a non-IE browser) is https://www.goingtobrazil.com/wp-content/themes/modularity-lite/library/styles/screen.css but there is also the stylesheet https://www.goingtobrazil.com/wp-content/themes/modularity-lite/style.css which has more generic rules. What you need to do is, in the screen.css file, remove “float:left” from this line:

p img {float:left;margin:1.5em 1.5em 1.5em 0;padding:0;}

Give that a shot.

thisrtfiend,

It worked like a charm!

Thank you very much for all the help. That’s invaluable!

No problem.

You may want to look into the Firefox plug-in called Firebug for the future. It let’s you select elements (paragraphs, images, divs) and edit the CSS live, so you can see what’s going on. I’ve found it invaluable.

@tshirtfriend, THX a lot as it solved my text alignment too ??

Can you help me solve the same problem? I do not have any screen.css file, just the regular style.css with the following code:

[Mod Note: Chunk of code removed. If you want to post large blocks of code, please use a pastebin.]

the solution is simple and already here. Just find modularity-lite/library/styles/screen.css file and remove

float:left;

from the following line:
p img {float:left;margin:1.5em 1.5em 1.5em 0;padding:0;}
