WordPress Image Padding

An article by chrisbellman    No Comments

So I just ran into a bit of an “issue” with WordPress and the way it handles images by default.  This is on a per-theme basis, but for whatever reason my theme didn’t already have image padding, so the text went right up to the side of the image.  There is a simple fix!

First, click on Appearance (from the Dashboard), and then click on Editor.  Scroll to the bottom of that stylesheet and add:

/* ——————————–

PICTURES ALIGN

———————————–*/

.alignright { padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px; float: right; }

.alignleft { padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0; float: left; }
