Frequently Asked Questions:

How can I horizontally center my vertical (or small) images?

When you’re creating your post, in the visual editor simply click on your image, and then click on the “center-aligned text” button, which looks like this:

Old images from imported blogs may not be centered, depending on how they were originally coded before importing.

    Hi Jared,
    This should be simple. Not sure what I’m missing. I just want to center justify my images. I searched your help section and found this…

    I don’t see the “center-aligned text button”. I don’t see any option to format the text…ie center, left or right justification.

    Thanks,
    Lowell

    Lowell Tindell » are you maybe in “html” (or “code”) editor mode instead of “visual” editor? None of the text justification and formatting options are visible in html/code mode. Look in the top of your posting window for two tabs.

    Hey Jared,

    I have really enjoye dthe video tutorials, but do have a question. When I insert an image into a post, I am having difficulty being able to type after that image (say between image one and a soon to be uploaded image two) whenever I click to try and add type after inserting the image, all I get is either resizing handles on the image, or the image gets deleted….what should I be doing?

    Thanks

    Kristi - what version of WP are you using? Sometimes due to the size of the images we post, it is hard to click to the right of an image to start typing again.

    What I usually do is insert an image, click just to the right of the right edge of the image, press return to make sure I’m on a new line, and start typing.

    If you’re having trouble getting your cursor on the right of the image, try using full-screen mode (if you have WP 2.5.x or above).

    Sometimes, in a pinch, I will switch to HTML mode and find the end of the code for my image, then click there, press return twice, and type something. Then I switch back to visual mode and I can resume typing.
