Text not wrapping around images
-
When I make a new post, I always put a picture aligned either right or left. However, about 2-3 months ago, without me changing anything, the pictures started to automatically push the text down below them instead of having the text come alongside it like usual. It shows up right in the visual screen, and then when I go to look at the post it initially loads correctly, but once it has finished loading the text always jumps down and the image jumps to the middle.
I am very html illiterate and can’t figure it out.

The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. 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.
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).
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.
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the Text (HTML) editor after each image/text pair:
<div style="clear:both;"></div> -

Thanks for the great screenshots and information.
I’ve corrected this for you. As a member of the WordAds program, one of the systems we use for ads have conflicted with image alignment on a handful of sites, which included yours. You shouldn’t see any problems now on.
Thanks!
