Image Centering Fail – need your expertise!

i had to add the aligncenter to the img, but it seems that in this style:

.attachment-large {max-width:950px;overflow:hidden;display: inline}

the display: inline; is stopping the centering – at least in firefox (tested with the firefox web developer add-on)

Sorry to sound dumb, but what is the solution if that’s the case?

Remove the display; inline; command?

Having played around with the settings, it looks as though my images are all aligned to the left from the outset – regardless of any changes I’ve made.

Changing the image height limit to 750px under Settings > Media in WP just reveals the issue, as it naturally reduces the width of some images to below the 950px preset width limit.

Previously, when I hadn’t specified the 750px height limit (and just left the 950px width limit) all images naturally touched both the left and right hand borders, and therefore appeared as if centered.

So the question is, how do I get the images below 950px in width to stop defaulting to the left?

the link i look at, had no alignment set for the image, therefore it defaulted to the left.
if you set the image alignment to ‘center’ while adding the image (or editng the image in the post) and remove the display: inline; from the style, the image should end up in the middle.

Many thanks for contributing. I appreciate it.

Ok, so I removed all the images from the wedding post, resized them externally to a maximum of 950px in width and 750px in height. Re-uploaded them to the gallery and selected center alignment, and full size image.

The images still aligned on the left.

I then removed all appearances of the display:inline from the alignment section of the style.css (under the floats/images section)

…but the images still align left. This is getting to me now ??

For example:

Viewing the page source, like you said, there doesn’t seem to be any alignment code assigned to the image despite me selecting center align in the media upload box.

It is picking up alignment from .container; align-left; in your style sheet.

I can’t locate the .container; align-left code anywhere in my style sheet. Where abouts is it?

https://96.30.48.26/~thelifei/wp-content/themes/psitez/style.css and on line 586.

Sorry, I don’t understand. What theme’s css did you just post? That isn’t for my site.

Sorry! Too many screens open!

Is this only in IE? Anyway it is coming from the IE css, https://www.oliverpohlmann.com/wp-content/themes/fullscreen/css/ie.css, line 16, .container {text-align:left;}

No, I’m using Firefox and that code therefore doesn’t appear. Really starting to think there isn’t a solution to this.

Add this if you can,

<div align=”center”> <img width=”571″ height=”750″ src=”https://www.oliverpohlmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/DSC05312.jpg&#8221; class=”attachment-large” alt=”Wedding” title=”Wedding” /></p>
<div class=”caption”></div></div>

Maybe in the html view of the post/page editor.

The thing is, I can’t access the HTML for individual pages, only the general page or post template. And the left align is present on all images which are less than the 950px width of the page, not just that wedding pic.

I added the image to a new post in a wp site and got this code . . .

<p><img class=”aligncenter” title=”Wedding” src=”https://www.oliverpohlmann.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/DSC05312.jpg&#8221; alt=”Wedding” width=”571″ height=”750″ /></p>

The image was centered. Pls turn off all plugins and switch to the twentyten theme. If the image is centered add plugins one by one.
