Twenty Ten – text flow around image

  • It’s flowing fine around the image in Firefox 3.6.16. In what browser version do you not see it flowing and can you provide a screenshot of what you see if possible?

    Hi Zoonini

    I’m looking in Firefox 3.6.16 and Explorer, and the text around the top of the image is broken.
    Between ‘Indian…’ and ‘…Municipal’. Is that how it appears on your screen?

    I’ve spent way too many hours fiddling with the style sheet and looking for fixes – can you suggest anything?

    it seems as if you entered the image in the visual editor into the middle of a sentence.
    edit the post and try to move the image to a space between paragraphs.

    Confirmed on Firefox 3.6.16 I’d suggest that you move that captioned image up to that it is immediately before the start of the paragraph “This tear-dropped shaped island”. Floated images dropped into the middle of paragraphs rarely work well.

    Ah – now I understand what you mean. I third alchymyth & esmi’s suggestion to not try to float images within the middle of a paragraph.

    Thanks guys
    I did already know about having the image at the start of the para.

    Not being able to put the image anywhere you wsh n the text is a basic limitation. Oh well -maybe the next version will fix this

    It’s not a WordPress issue – it’s CSS. Behaviour would be the same in a static, non-WP site.

    OK
    I’m very new to site-building – as you might have guessed.
    So this is probably a very naive question: On sites that have text flowing around images, without have to position the image at the start of a paragraph, do they not use CSS?
    How do they get their text to flow round naurally – presumably they use other coding/software?

    Thanks again

    Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. As esmi said, it’s just not reliable. For example, see this blog post. The book cover is in the middle of the paragraph and the flow looks OK to me. You could try playing with the positioning of your image within the paragraph, but you already said you’ve tweaked it to death. I suggest making your life easier and “going with the flow.” ??
