Add frame/border to a image

    Previously I have been able to add and design a frame to pictures I inserted. Now, since a few months back, everything looks different and I can not find the same function.

    I could choose the color, line width and appearance, such as solid, dashed, dotted or double. Now I pay for “Advanced Design”, so I do not want to have fewer opportunities than when I had a totally free account.

    My theme is “Expound”.
    Could that be the problem, that I might have chosen the wrong theme?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there, There have been some recent adjustments to our image editor as discussed here:

    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/the-paste-as-word-button-has-been-removed-from-the-visual-editor?replies=6

    If you’d like to add a border to your images to remain consistent with past posts, I’ll give you HTML code you can paste into the editor on your own:

    1. Open the Post draft where your un-bordered images are installed.
    2. Click on the Text tab (rather than the Visual tab, which is open by default)
    3. Underneath the text/code for you first paragraph, you will see the code that represents the first image on your Post. Take a look at that code, and you’ll see where I added the following code to your first image:

      style=”margin: 2px; border: 3px solid black;”

      I added it directly before src=”http://

    4. If you click Preview, you will see that this code added your border to the first image on the Post.
    5. You can return to the Text editor and paste the exact same code before src=”http:// to add borders around the remainder of your images.
    6. Click Update Draft, Preview, or Publish as needed.

    That should do it! If you have any questions at all, please let me know. Many thanks.

    Thanks so much!
    At first I didn’t understand what Text tab you meant, so I opened the image properties and searched there. But after a while it clicked, so now I have my frames again … :D
