   Hi everyone,

   Was wondering if anyone had some tips on positioning an image caption to the right of the image. I used to have a way to do this involving the media.php file, but it doesn't seem to work anymore as of WP 3. Would love to find a way to do this just using CSS in my theme.

   Here's an example of a page with captions.

   Here's how I'd like them to appear.

   Thanks in advance!

   building on that, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/positioning-of-image-caption?replies=7

   the original idea by @sagemintblue is to add the code to functions.php of the theme.

   @dadsidea might have edited media.php, but is should work without doing this.

   Thanks, alchymyth! This sounds like a much better solution.

   If I could beg you for a bit more guidance— I pasted your code from this thread into the functions.php file, and it didn't seem to change anything— is there additional code I should add alongside it?

   Thanks again!

   you have to see the code from http://wordpress.org/support/topic/positioning-of-image-caption?replies=7 as an addition/edit to the code by @sagemintblue in

   it might be able to put this all together later ;-)

   here is some code:

   you will probably need to adjust some numbers and some css.

   Thanks again! A little bit of fiddling and that was just the ticket. All best.
