Why does the theme I use look different then the preview?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I am a designer and was using a theme with a 3 column image layout, however when I apply the theme the images become a single column feed (this happened with other similar themes I tried).

    Any help would be great! Thanks!

    The Bask theme detailed description page is at https://wordpress.com/themes/blask/ and the live demo site is at https://blaskdemo.wordpress.com/

    Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels)
    The main column width is 640.
    A widget in the Footer Widget Area is 300.
    Featured Images for posts should be at least 880 wide.

    re: image alignment in posts and pages

    See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment

    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>

    oops! I see a typo above.
    I meant to type: The Blask theme

    Ah I see! Thanks so much timethief!

    I’m referencing the Blask portfolio ‘how-to’ page.

    Thanks for the specificity in your reply, you’ve saved me a lot of time…You’re the best!
