Update: I just noticed that the change did work for the single post I was looking at at the time, but I’d like to make it a blanket change across all my posts. Any suggestions as to how to do that?

No luck, but it was worth a try — thanks. One thing I’m noticing is anytime I choose a category for a new post, it seems to find all the old ones and also add that category to the widget. So at the very least, I will slowly accrue my old categories with each new post.

Hey, that worked!

I did what you said with just one Fashion post and it found all of them. In other words, my Admin went from showing 0 in Fashion to 136. And now Fashion shows up in the Widget.

Now all I have to do is do that for all 300 or so of the missing categories! But if I pick them off a few at a time, I’ll get there.

Thanks for your help!

Steve

It shows a bunch of them:

No, none are subcategories — or at least not intentionally.

This is an example of the problem, I guess. Here’s a link that shows the Category “Fashion” in the internal Category list. But Fashion does NOT appear in my widget:

https://thatispricelessblog.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category&paged=6

You can see that it has no Posts assigned to it. But when I search for “Fashion” it brings up 2 posts that have it attached as one of their Categories, as you can see here:

https://thatispricelessblog.com/?s=fashion

So I guess the first question is why these posts are not being counted as being in the Fashion category. I wonder if there was some disconnect when I transferred my blog over from Blogger.

Thoughts?

Thanks! Maybe I’ll give that a try.

Okay, thanks. I’ll feel better doing those conversions if I know I’m not missing some obvious shortcut.

Appreciate the help!

Fantastic! That’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

That makes creating new posts a snap. And experimenting a bit with my existing posts, I’ve just discovered that if I click on the image and then “Convert To Blocks,” it puts everything in the right place after I update.

Luckily that’s pretty quick, because I’m eventually looking to convert all 3000 of my posts to that format, one by one. Before I do, I’d just like to ask you whether there’s any way to bulk-convert my Blogger blog to this “text directly below the image” format from the get-go, instead of having to convert each post by hand after the full blog Blogger-to-Wordpress conversion. I’m assuming not, but thought I’d at least run it by you.

Thanks!

Appreciate the help. Here you go:

I’m trying to approximate what I’ve been doing on the Blogger version of my site, which is here:

https://thatispriceless.blogspot.com/

i.e. I want to list the artist, the title, and the medium just below the image of the painting.

Doing the toggling off of the “float left” gave me the basic look I was going for, but obviously that’s not the way to go about it.

Thanks!

Steve

Actually, sorry, that’s incorrect. I pasted this, the version after I toggled off the left float:

<a style="clear: left;/* float: left; */margin-bottom: 1em;margin-right: 1em;" href="https://i0.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-AUvnk-j2x5U/VKG4_7wKDoI/AAAAAAAAFjQ/F8sbikbSQA4/s1600/exboyfriendabidingbyrestrainingorder%2B416x596%2Barc.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone" src="https://i0.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-AUvnk-j2x5U/VKG4_7wKDoI/AAAAAAAAFjQ/F8sbikbSQA4/s1600/exboyfriendabidingbyrestrainingorder%2B416x596%2Barc.jpg?resize=278%2C400&ssl=1" width="278" height="400" border="0" data-recalc-dims="1"></a>

I pasted this:

<a style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="https://i0.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-AUvnk-j2x5U/VKG4_7wKDoI/AAAAAAAAFjQ/F8sbikbSQA4/s1600/exboyfriendabidingbyrestrainingorder%2B416x596%2Barc.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone" src="https://i0.wp.com/1.bp.blogspot.com/-AUvnk-j2x5U/VKG4_7wKDoI/AAAAAAAAFjQ/F8sbikbSQA4/s1600/exboyfriendabidingbyrestrainingorder%2B416x596%2Barc.jpg?resize=278%2C400&ssl=1" width="278" height="400" border="0" data-recalc-dims="1"></a>

Thank you. I copied and pasted just the “paragraph” of code that I changed into the Additional CSS window on the left, but it said “Unable to save due to 1 invalid setting.” and below that, “Markup is not allowed in CSS.”

My first thought is that maybe I’m not copying and pasting the correct part of the changed CSS. Should I be doing the new CSS in its entirety? A smaller portion of the “paragraph”?

Thanks for your patience. Sorry to be so clueless about this.

Steve

Alternatively, if anyone knows of a Block Pattern that puts text/a title directly below an image in a one-column format, please let me know. Thanks!

Ahh, good to know. Not sure how I would use the Additional CSS option to emulate the change that occurs when I toggle off the “float left” box in the Inspector. My post looks the way I want it to when I do that. Could I maybe do something involving copying and pasting?

Hi,

To answer your question, Steve, I made the change in the element.style section where there were checkboxes next to phrases like “clear: left” and “float: left.” This was after highlighting a section of code that began with “div style” and on the next line said “<a style.”

I don’t see a way to attach a screenshot, but I’d be happy to if you let me know how.

Do you think critterverse’s “!important” tip might be the answer?

Thanks both!

Steve
