   Here's a link to an example of what's going on:

   And the code:

   That's odd, my first post explaining the problem has disappeared.

   My text wraps all the time and looks bad since there are just one or two words per line next to the image. The only"fix" I have found is to use a smaller picture so that the wrapped text doesn't look quite so strange.

   How do I stop this from happening? I'd rather have no text wrap at all. Thanks!

   your first post "explaining" the problem was moderated by one of the mods, because it didnt explain anything -- it was just a whole lot of code or CSS, which ppl are asked to not post on here.

   They prefer you paste that stuff over here:

   http://wordpress.pastebin.ca

   and then link to it.

   Its also advisable to not expect ppl to diagnose CSS issues with a picture, even a picture with CSS. Most of us use Firefox, and most of us are able to change CSS on the fly, so what's prefered is a URL where we can see the actual "issue", and not a picture.

   Sorry. I am new to all this. Didn't mean to do anything wrong. I've seen code in other posts so I thought it was OK.

   I did post the code for the picture but apparently it was deleted by a moderator.

   I had also put in the CSS for the template stylesheet because I wondering if there is anything in there that is causing the code to continuously wrap.

   Can anyone help me?

   In your CSS file for your theme, you have this:
   #content img,#contentwide img {border:1px solid #d0d0d0; float:left; margin:3px 10px 3px 0;}

   Remove the float:left; from that and your text won't wrap around the images any more.

   @homeycomb:

   Umm... She didn't expect that. She gave the correct link.

   @momunplugged:

   In your theme's stylesheet, find this:

   #content img,#contentwide img {border:1px solid #d0d0d0; float:left; margin:3px 10px 3px 0;}

   Change it to this:

   #content img,#contentwide img {border:1px solid #d0d0d0; margin:3px 10px 3px 0;}

   The only difference is that I removed the "float:left;" that your theme's author stuck in there for some odd reason.

   Thanks Otto42. I made the change, but the text still wraps. Am I doing something wrong?

   momunplugged: No, it doesn't. The change worked. Refresh your page and/or clear your browser cache.

   Thanks Adam, I think that's what Otto suggested and I did it, but the text still wraps. Could there be another area of the stylesheet that is still causing a problem? There is something in there about "float fix" (and overflow?).

    Like Otto said, clear your browser cache. It looks fixed to me.
