Formatting issues: Large spaces won't disappear :(

  • misterinkspots93 · Member ·

    Hi,

    I’d really like to figure this out once and for all… I recently left Blogger due to many issues with formatting images. I came to WordPress and everything looked okay until I published a page that wound up looking very different than how it appeared on the “edit” page once it was published.

    If you could take a look at my page: https://aftertheinkspots.wordpress.com/the-individual-members/

    If you scroll down to “Cox, Orville” you notice there is a larger gap between the image and the line (above the image) than the images that come before. This happens in a few other places. Also, if you scroll down to “Hudson, Bill” you’ll notice a large gap between the image and the line (below the image). I’ve tried to delete the space but I think that whenever i do that, something else get’s messed up.

    I hope I expressed my issue clear enough. There’s got to be a way to fix this to get it right. Unfortunately I’m not very sophisticated with computers but I’m determined to do whatever it takes to avoid this issue again so if anyone can offer any help i’d be eternally grateful. Thank you very kindly.

    Austin

    You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and for viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

    To create posts in the classic editor for you that link is

    On the dashboard of your own blog at

    See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment

    The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. They are used to achieve wrapping text around images on either the right or left-hand side, or to display an image that’s centered without text on either side of it.

    Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.

    Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.

    Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).

    If the text beside the images does not occupy the same amount of space that the image beside it does then the text wrapping will continue and the images and text that follow will have a staggered appearance.

    To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the Text (HTML) editor after each image/text pair:
    <div style="clear:both;"></div>
