Captions for images in Blix Theme
-
I’m wondering if anyone can help me. I’m using the Blix theme and open each post with a centred image. When I add a caption it is always left justified and never lines up with the image. In draft, if I look at the post in Visual, it appears as though it will centre the caption but it never does. When I use the HTML tab, the caption words are in the middle of all of the HTML script and I have no idea if it can be edited.
I’ll live with it if I have to but if it can be done, would like to tidy up the look.
Many thanks!

Yet another quirk of Blix… Captions are supposed to be centered by default, with image plus caption enclosed in a box. You’ll have to abandon the caption feature and write the captions as plain text in the post editor, then highlight them and click the align-center button.
To get the boxed appearance, you need extra code (which I can give you, if you wish).

Thanks panaghiotisadam – appreciate your response. I’ll take your advice. Any code you help would be helpful.
Many thanks

So, for the boxed appearance you need this model (in the html editor, of course):
<table align="center" style="border:solid 1px #cdcdcd;background-color:#eeeeee;width:IMAGE_WIDTH_PLUS_FOURpx;padding:2px;"> <tr><td>IMAGE_CODE_HERE</td></tr> <tr><td align="center">CAPTION_HERE</td></tr> </table>The image must be set to alignnone.
The code above will produce a grey border with a very light grey background (just the way captioned images show in some other themes). If you don’t like it, you can change the hex color codes.http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2007/06/30/ultimate-html-color-hex-code-list/
