captions going across images
-
Dear all,
All of a sudden several captions in my blog going across images. I have uploaded all the images in the same way (uploading from my computer) and it doesn’t seem that there is any “regularity” in the mess… I’ve searched the forum but did not cross with any solution. Any help highly appreciated!!!
Thanx a lot!!

I do see what you mean. Unfortunately I don’t know how to help you as I don’t what the cause is. I’m afraid you will have to wait until another Volunteer or Staff will be able to help you sort this.

Those are extremely lengthy captions. Have you tried editing the image in advanced mode and reducing the amount of text in the captions?

it’s the text of the post, not the captions! I don’t know why goes accross them, and this is my problem. It does it in other post as well…

Sorry I can’t explain how you did this in order to prevent it happening in future, but I can tell you how to fix it.
In your browser, view your source code. Here is the code for the first messed up image:
<div id="attachment_848" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 259px"><a href="http://connectionwithcairo.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/ceb1cebdcf84ceb9ceb1cf83cf86cf85cebeceb9cebfceb3cf8ccebdceb5cf82-cebcceaccf83cebaceb5cf82.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-848" title="αντιασφυξιογόνες μάσκες" src="http://connectionwithcairo.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/ceb1cebdcf84ceb9ceb1cf83cf86cf85cebeceb9cebfceb3cf8ccebdceb5cf82-cebcceaccf83cebaceb5cf82.jpg?w=470" alt="" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">δεν μας φοβίζουν πια! Εγώ η επαρχειώτισσα πήγα χωρίς malox και μάσκα!</p></div>
Copy the section from <div through to /div.
Paste the code into a plain text editor like textedit.
The problem is caused by this part: style=”width: 259px”
It is telling browsers that the caption for your 470 px wide image is only 259 px wide.
Delete that. Copy your code, then in the html editor of your post, paste the code to replace the problem image. Delete the problem image, save. -
It is difficult to read source code, so here is a tip to make it easier to find the sections you need to fix. Use the “find” function of your browser to search for a few words of your caption. For example, I found the above code by searching for “δεν μας φοβίζουν πια!” then it was a simple matter of selecting the code from <div through to /div and copy it.

ah my friend! I hope the OP can follow my post. HTML is scary for some folk…
I don’t use captions on photos very often, so I don’t have much experience with them. I do know that adding captions in the visual editor and then adding more text to the post can make them very messy. But this doesn’t seem to be the case here.
I can’t explain what caused the mess-up. Nor how to prevent it.

That’s a side effect of a bug WP tried to fix. You should ask them to correct the mess for you, by posting in this thread:

It is a roof:
(a problem) over my head!but my fix does work for now.

@ 1tess I’m of that folks who scare the code!! And furthermore could not find the part you mention!!! Thank you very much anyway!
@ pnaghiotisadam I had started to delete one by one the pictures and put them again when your message came! I added myself to the thread. Thank you very very much!!
Thank you all!

Yes, I am sorry not to have helped.
I well remember the times when I first began blogging when the mere sight of html left me dizzy.
But it is really only another language with an unfamiliar alphabet. Obviously you are proficient in more than one language.
Best wishes to you on your blog,
Tess
