   The thumbnails and captions are still out of alignment for WP 3.2.1. Is anyone else still having this problem? When will this be fixed...does anyone know?

   Here is my page:
   http://eagleheartdynamic.com/?page_id=1346

   The problem is when I type in the caption, it appears to the right of the thumbnail in the window. It doesn’t look any better in the preview mode and it is definitely out of alignment in the final viewing. I hope they fix this problem soon since it is slowing me down and I am not able to complete my website!

   Since this is a commercial theme you should check with Studio Press.

   You can also work your way down this list, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-32-master-list?replies=8,

   Why would it be Studiopress when it was working fine prior to the upgrade?

   This implies the problem existed in at least 3.2.

   Why would it be Studiopress when it was working fine prior to the upgrade?

   Because some themes break with upgrades and have to be updated themselves as requirements change. And because you have a commercial theme, they provide support.

   The point is, you have to start somewhere to find out what is causing the error. The starting point is the list I gave you particularly this.

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). Don't forget the ones in mu-plugins. If you can't get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   - switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

   Deactivated the plugins and it didn’t resolve the problem. ]

   Did you check with Studio Press? Do you understand that THEY are responsible for your support because you PAID them money?

   It is not a theme issue as I suspected. And before you mouth off with rude comments (>If you don't want advice go to Starbucks) why don’t you wait for a response?! It is not appreciated.

   I sent an email to the owner of Studiopress yesterday and added additional comments with 2 examples in the thread (started on this topic a week ago) on the Studiopress Enterprise theme forum.

   For the benefit of anyone who is experiencing the same thing, this was a senior mod’s response :

   “It does appear to be a WP issue, I'm looking into it and will submit a match to wp core. I'll post my recommended changes here too if you feel up to moding core files.”

   Do not modify core files. If you do so, they will be overwritten at every upgrade. Any theme should work without modifying wp core files.

   Strangely with over 1 million downloads of wp, you and a couple of others, using a theme from Studio Press have a particular problem and you choose to blame wp. A good scapegoat.

   I am not blaming anyone. I am trying to get to the root of the problem.

    So, as part of your diagnosis in getting to the root of the problem, have you tried switching to the default theme as was suggested? I hesitate to even bring it up again, but I don't actually see a firm response to that suggestion/question yet.

    It is not a theme issue as I suspected.

    Just for the sake of clarity, does that mean that you actually tried the default theme and the symptom stayed exactly the same?

    The 'go to starbucks' comment was pointing out that you need to go to the right place for the right help.

    As has been asked: HOW did you determine this is NOT your theme?

    I checked on my test site and captions work fine: http://test.ipstenu.org/2008/09/images-test/2/

    Actually, I am experiencing a similar problem with captions.

    If I insert a caption, the picture automatically goes to the left-hand side, and I'm using a different theme.

    William, try the Twenty Eleven theme.

    Just because it's happening on different themes does not mean it's not a theme issue :)

    Clayton...yes I tried it but the captions ended up overlapping past the thumbnail to the left instead of being centered.

    It automatically is centered in the window after I upload the image with the caption from the media files. Then I publish the page and that’s when it gets messed up on the Enterprise theme.

    I have a question...why would captions be centered in the window and then go way over to the left hand side past the thumbnail after it is published. I am referring to the Twenty Eleven theme. I am just assuming it would be centered because it looks centered before publishing. Maybe I should just center the captions and see what happens in both themes.

    I did not have this issue before the upgrade so it’s got to be something not in sync obviously or more specific rules (i.e. I will center the captions and see what happens)...whatever. BRB

    Nor did it work on the Twenty Eleven theme. After I centered the caption, now it is way over on the right hand side beyond the thumbnail. Errrr!

    William what theme are you using? Is it a Studiopress theme or another one?

    All those images are aligned left, you know.

    I mean, when I view source, the CODE says 'alignleft' and not 'aligncenter'

    <dl class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 290px;">
    <dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://eagleheartdynamic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/shtnapplication.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1355" title="Application of Shiatsu" src="http://eagleheartdynamic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/shtnapplication.jpg" alt="Application of Shiatsu" width="280" height="80"></a></dt>
    </dl>

    This is what I did. I uploaded the images and applied the centered option to captions. However, when I apply the type style from within the window (bold, header 5, medium blue), that’s when the images and captions get messed up.

    What if I just change the caption style on the CSS? Maybe working from within the window messes things up.

    I did 2 more experiments. I uploaded the images and didn’t change the captions at all except I centered them:

    http://eagleheartdynamic.com/?page_id=1717

    Now I tried it by applying a bold and a blue and centered it but did not change to header 5 just kept it at the default format. It works. So for some reason, it does not work when I change the header from within the window.

    Check it out:
    http://eagleheartdynamic.com/?page_id=1727

    As long as I keep it to “format” which is the default and not change it to any other header, then it is fine. So I can live with it.

    Thanks for your help.

    I just upgraded my blog to 3.2.1 and I lost visibility to the full dashboard. I cannot see plugins, permalinks... nothing!!! The blog was working fine before. Any fixes?
    I already contacted my hosting provider to ensure they have installed
    PHP 5.2.4 or higher and MySQL 5.0.91 or higher. They responded with "yes, all our server have installed PHP 5.2.17 and MySQL 5.0.91. So the issue is in WP. When will this be fixed? I have 2 websites affected.

    cairo55 - Please make a NEW topic. if you're not having 100% the same problem, you need your own topic.

    designerwriter - There are issues with html in captions. When you say this:

    However, when I apply the type style from within the window (bold, header 5, medium blue), that’s when the images and captions get messed up.

    do you mean you're styling the CAPTION text or just text in your post?
