Center text within columns

Make sure the content inside a shortcode is surrounded with two blank lines. Then you can just select the text and center it with the center button.

Like so:

[one_half]

center this text

[/one_half][one_half_last]

center this text

[/one_half_last]

This is because TinyMCE will add a “style=text-align: center” property to the text paragraph elements.

Excellent! That did the trick. Many thanks Tobias.
Hartelijk dank uit Woerden!

I am unable to get the additional short codes from a plugin to center in side the column. The fist column works just fine as per your instructions. But the 2nd column with the lightbox code is not working.
Any suggestions please?

I’ve tried this but it didn’t work:

I also tried this and it didn’t work:
The 2nd half just doesn’t want to center inside the column for me.
