Caption below Image without it affecting other text.
-
I am trying to place a caption, and sometimes a lengthy explanation, under an image without it affecting the other text that wraps around it. I have tried many different ways, one example is:
<div style=”float: left;”><figure><img style=”float: left; padding: 3px 3px 3px 0;” alt=”” src=”” width=”200″ height=”200″ /><figcaption>C</figcaption></figure></div>
But it doesn’t want to work in WordPress, as it does in other places. Is there something I can do without purchasing Custom Design? Thank you.

Have you used the caption feature when adding images with the Media Gallery? That works without all the HTML, or you can do a test one and that will have all the HTML in the Text Editor for you to work with. A great place to start.

If you add captions to your images (which you align left or align right so text wraps around them) then the most sure way of not getting the caption code mixed up with your text is to add them after you have inserted both the image and text.
This is especially true if you use only the visual editor because you cannot be certain of the precise location of the cursor in the visual editor. Using the text (code) editor will let you place the cursor exactly where you want it, but that involves knowing a modicum of html code.
Without a link to an example you are having trouble, I’m guessing these articles may also be of use to you:

Or are you trying to make two columns in your post content area: one for a captioned image with explanatory text below; the other for your own personal content?
Without a link to what you have actually tried, or without more detail, we cannot guess what you really are attempting.
