 * Hello! I’ve looked and looked and couldn’t find a correct solution for my problem
   with Captions:
 * When i add an image with caption on a page/post (through the Media button) it
   is created like this in the editor:
 *     ```
       [caption id="attachment_3707" align="alignleft" width="300"]<a href=".../wp-content/uploads/2013/03/training_graph.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3707" alt="Training Graph" src=".../wp-content/uploads/2013/03/training_graph-300x189.png" width="300" height="189" /></a> Training Graph[/caption]
       ```
   
 * I read that this is not how it should be created.
    In the editor the caption 
   is aligning as normal below the image, however when i see the live page, the 
   caption text is outside the DIV, ending like this:
 *     ```
       ...<p class="wp-caption-text"></p></div> Training Graph<p></p>
       ```
   
 * So even the DIV is closing and messing up the template. Then the caption text
   appears just like any other paragraph of text.
 * How can this be?
    When i switch to a default theme it looks ok. But on my custom
   theme i have nothing set up to show captions like this and i’m using the latest
   WP version (3.5.1). I also want to avoid adjusting each [caption] tag individually…
 * Does anyone know what the problem might be?
 * Thanks in advance!
    Mike

 * That means the problem is with your custom theme. Please contact the theme developer
   for assistance as we do not have access to the theme.
