  Hello,
  Since I got the new WordPress editor, I face an issue with the captions of my photos.
  When I add a separate Image block, I am able to add a caption of my photo, as well as I did with the previous editor. But when I publish the article, the caption appears as an ordinary text below the picture. It is not with the usual caption formatting. It is even not centered. I tried and tried, but I cannot understand where the problem comes from.
  Is it a bug? How could it possibly be fixed? I could provide screenshots if necessary.

  Thanks in advance,
  Didi Tasseva

  Thanks for the link. It seems that you’re using a retired theme on your site (Sela) and, since the styling comes from the theme, I’d suggest changing it to one of the newer ones. Have a look at Stow, for example:
