New to WordPress, having trouble wrapping text around image
-
When I insert media on a new post, the text starts at the bottom corner of the image instead of wrapping around the whole image. I’ve looked at tutorials, aligned everything to the left or right and nothing will fix it. What gives?

Hope this helps.
The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment They are used to achieve wrapping text around images on either the right or left hand side, or to display an image that’s centered without text on either side of it. If the text beside the images does not occupy the same amount of space that the image beside it does then the text wrapping will continue and the images and text that follow will have a staggered appearance.
Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.
Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.
Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the HTML editor after each image/text pair:
<div style=”clear:both;”></div>Read also > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/layout-format-problems?replies=5#post-1343302

I still don’t understand what I need to be doing to make the text wrap around the image. The code you gave me just makes a big space between text and image. Is there a code i need to wrap the text or is there an icon or some setting in the visual section that I need to use?

Also, if the alignment icons aren’t for images as well than what does this mean?
