i have the wordpress pro photo blog template and i can't seem to be able to center my portrait images that i post. i do the same as i do for the landscape, i choose 'center' option adn they center just fine, but the portraits dont?

anyone else? anyone know why this is happening?

You can put your images in a centered paragraph:

<p><tami's img /></p>

Tami, I looked at the source code and they are calling to be centered. I am wondering if the two vertical photos next to each other are so big that it's forcing one to fall of the edge and go down underneath it? Does it only happen when you post multiple vertical shots?

it always happens, even if i just post one. i've never had such problems posting images before - i even tried to get to portraits side by side adn that took so long i was considering pulling my hair out instead.

Yeah, I scrolled down and saw that it always happens. I'm so rusty on CSS. I cannot find where this class is defined that centers the image. The easy fix for right now might be to do as suggested and just add the code to center it. Andy might know. We have the same template but haven't started using it yet. I'll link him to this thread.

'k thanx

When I post, I don't center the images. I go back and highlight all, and center the paragraph the images are in. Everything goes to center. I'm not a coder, but my image code looks different than yours.

Mine is:
<p align="center">image i want centered</p>

yours is:
<p><a href="http://tamicurtis.com/pulpfiction/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/vintage11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-930" title="vintage11" src="http://tamicurtis.com/pulpfiction/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/vintage11.jpg" alt="" width="447" height="625" /></a>a vintage beauty!</p>

maybe i'm doing it wrong then - but when i import my image and i'm given the option of left, right, or center, i choose center, then i have the option of the size and i choose full size. thanks mark and damon - i'm a little embarrassed right now ... but its fixed. i just went back and highlighted everything and centered it....umm... like duh............

Your centering code is using css, which is technically supposed to be "more correct" or whatever, because browsers are supposed to be phasing out of using the old mark-up. That said, I've never had an issue with the old method not working, but people do have issue with CSS.

Andy is off the now and may be able to help.

oh i just replied cause i wanted to see if i could copy the motorscooter dude. i love him!

Me too, it's the only way I can get it to work. It is a pain because you have to be careful not to centre your text too, unless you like that, but I don't. That is the ONLY issue I have with ProPhoto, other than that I LOVE it!

This works for me in blogger...but I'm not sure about wordpress.

I'm not a CSS expert by any means. I found this by googling months ago.

I think we need to ask Jared because I think there needs to be something else in the main style sheet that's not there. I want my pictures centered, too, and for now I get around it by selecting the pictures and hitting center (so the code is centering them twice) like Damon suggested. I wish I didn't have to though.

I think I just read about this somewhere, too... maybe in that WP post about the HTTP error with the image uploader (which is WP's issue, not ProPhoto's). I'll do some digging after the kids are otherwise occupied and see if I can remember where I saw it.

Holy cow... I have the answer.... It's a first by the way

After you type your about me section put <center> after it and it centers all your titles, text and pictures for your posts below. I like mine that way... Have a look...

I never have to hit center align... Just always looks that way! But if you only want your pictures centerd... Sorry...

This is from the WP thread about the image uploader (and other image issues apparently):






If you are willing to be brave and mess with the CSS this might be the problem. But I'd still check with Jared first--I emailed him about another issue and he was right on it. And I would certainly rather use Jared approved code instead of generic WP code. Because I am a CSS wuss.

Jamie yours isn't showing centered for me.

NO???

Your post titles, text, and photos are all aligned left. And your bio is to the left too. Maybe it's just my computer?

But your "Contact Burnett Photography" is center.

Well WTF... It does on my screen. Guess I don't know after all. *sulks away without an answer*

This is what I'm seeing. Jamie I think maybe my mac is crazy


Tami I'm seeing yours centered now!

Well what the heck... Why does it show up two different ways?

I don't know, but I just bought the ProPhoto theme and I'd like to know as well. I want mine to be centered on my screen and everyone elses too.

I just emailed Jared and explained our dilemma so hopefully he can weigh in soon.

I do a little web stuff and I know sometimes you have to write code differently, or add in extra lines of code, for FF and IE to see one page the same way. I don't know about Safari. Anyway maybe that is the issue?

I checked my other computers and they center my blog. Now I'm confused. Doesen't take much I guess.

Is it just Lisette or is it left justified for everyone but me?

This may be it...I'm on Safari

Left for me too, Jamie--I'm in Firefox (yes, on a PC which I looooove).

In IE it's centered.

OK then... I should re-state it centers it for internet explorer pc users, cause I have no clue about foxes and safaris...

And since you;re looking feel free to give me some blog love!

Haha I just love you!

Jamie, you HAVE to get Firefox. You will never never never go back to IE. Except when you have to check something.

Just try it, you'll like it!

hey all, here's a short answer, and then in a few hours (or tomorrow) i'll try to write something more exhaustive.

the simple way to make sure that your portrait-oriented images are centered in ProPhoto is AFTER you've inserted them into your post, click on them and then click the center text button. that definately works across all browsers.

clicking on the alignment left or right button when inserting doesn't seem to work. i think this is because as the theme author i was supposed to add some css to my theme to make sure that the classes added by the image inserter show up right.

i'm going to double-check that and get back to you, but for now you can center things by clicking on the image and pressing the center text button.

also, here's the post on my blog about it:

http://www.professionalphotographertheme.c...nter-my-images/

Yeah, this is what I've been doing to get them centered. I don't like having to do it, but it's not that big a deal. I was meaning to ask about a fix for this.

I am using Safari and your vertical images are centered. I also tried Firefox and they look centered too.


By the way, nice images!

you guys are too funneh. if you look about 20 posts above, you will see that i figured it out......

now the problem i am having is that when i try to get to portraits side by side, i get a huge gap beneath them. when i go in to edit, there is no gap there????????

weird.

Will WP let you put them side by side? I didn't think it would, so I took my verticals into PS and made one horizontal out of two verticals to make them come out side by side that way. Kind of a pain in the neck extra step but I didn't want tons of white space and couldn't figure out another way to do it.

Yes, we know that we can click on the pictures and get them centered that way, but it still seems like it's taking two steps to do something that should work in the first. CSS is like magic though, it just boggles me.

i love your blog wallpaper robin!

Thanks Tami! I tried about 5 before I settled on that one. Too many fun choices.

Hey, I tried to add your blog to my google reader and for some reason I just can't do it. I added it by hand with the web address, which normally works, and I clicked on the RSS feed, which offered to add it to my reader, and I clicked on that, and it didn't take either. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong (yes I know this is OT)? I guess for now I will just have to click on your blog whenever I see a post from you.

it worked for my husband? yes... we have to have rss feed to keep up with each other..... now THAT is sad...

your whole blog is so nice, how did you do that with your header? the baby pics with the one on the right and the small ones on the left changing? its sooo cool!

Never mind, apparently it did add it, just didn't show at the time. Yay!

ok, so i always assumed the fact that the center button didn't work when inserting an image into a post was a WP bug, but, I was wrong.

For some reason I never took the time to look at the code WP generates and see that they expect the theme writer to define the CSS for these classes.

Sorry, sorry. My bad.

I'm going to fix it for everyone who buys the theme from now on, and if you've already purchased, just go into your "Stylesheet (style.css)" from "Design" => "Theme Editor" and go to the very bottom, and on a new line paste in the following code:

img.aligncenter {
display: block !important;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

img.alignright {
margin: 0 0 10px 20px;
display: inline;
float: right;
}

img.alignleft {
margin: 0 20px 10px 0;
display: inline;
float:left;
}

Now your align left, right and center buttons will work.

under all the sandbox gobbledy gook, Jared?

yeah, under everything. honestly, you can insert it anywhere, but i recommend the bottom because then it won't throw off the line number references i sprinkled throughout the stylesheet.

Awesome Jared! Thanks! You really do have top notch customer service.

Jared rocks.

i'm skeered because it will be just my luck . ..
