  The window for inserting frames around photographs no longer appears. I no longer get a small picture on the photo, but a pencil instead. When I click on the pencil, there are no advanced settings for photographs. I used to do frames all the time with no problem. Resizing is possible.

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

  Hi there,

  Recently there has been an update in which this feature was removed by our developers as seen here:

  Introducing Smoother Editing and New Playlists

  However, you can still add a border via the Text Editor using HTML.

  You can add a border around an image adding this code:

  border="2px"

  So an example of what this would look like is this:

  <a href="http://wordpress.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-15501" src="URL" width="400" height="300" border="2px" /></a>

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  Hi, thanks for your response, but it didn’t work. Didn’t do anything. Experimented several times.

  Also, the border=2px, doesn’t have the flexibility to make other changes we could do before: margin-right: 2px; margin-left: 2px; border: 3px solid black; padding: 10px;

  Any chance WP will bring back the advanced settings feature . . . really miss it for its ease of use.

  Hi there,

  Sorry about that. Looking at your theme, it doesn’t allow for borders. However, you can still edit CSS to add borders, margins, and padding.

  Please go to Appearance > Customize > CSS in your Dashboard and remove the informational content. Then, add this:

  img {
  	border: 2px solid black;
  	margin: 2px;
  	padding: 2px;
  }

  Feel free to play around with the numbers to get your desired look. Also, the developers have told me that they are not looking into bringing back these features as of right now.

  Thank you.

  Thanks for replying. I think that would put borders around all photos.

  I think I’ll have to change over to putting frames through Photoshop Elements. Maybe in the long run, that may be a better option, even if not as convenient.

  Yes. The developers have updated us that they are looking into bringing these features back, but there hasn’t been any official word as of yet.

  Please stay tuned here for updates:
