 * Hello, I am trying to figure out how to fix my captions to work like explained
   in [http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images#Captioning_The_Image](http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images#Captioning_The_Image).
 * Currently I have a lot of extra space whenever I follow those guidelines, which
   can be seen at:
    [http://www.carseatprotector.net/car-seat-protectors-a-necessity/](http://www.carseatprotector.net/car-seat-protectors-a-necessity/).
 * I have tried some caption plugins, but none of them will allow me to have three
   captioned images on the same line. Everytime I try they force themselves onto
   their own seperate lines, but I really want them to line up!
 * Thanks

 * I forgot to add, this is my current image code in the post:
 * <div class=”caption right”>[<img src=”/carseatprotector.jpg” width=”150″ alt=”Click for the Top 5 Car Seat Protectors” title=”Car Seat Protector”>](http://www.carseatprotector.net/the-top-five-car-seat-protectors/)
   Click for the Top 5 Car Seat Protectors</div>
 * and this is my copied CSS code from the original guide:
 * img.right { padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px; display: inline; }
    img.left {
   padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0; display: inline; } img.centered { display:
   block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .right { float: right; } .left{
   float: left; } .caption { margin: 5px; padding: 5px; border: solid 1px #E5E5FF;
   background: #E5F2FF; font-size:90%; color: black }
 * Thanks

 * that link [http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images#Captioning_The_Image](http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images#Captioning_The_Image)
   refers to the wordpress build-in image captions (wp-caption);
 * you system seems to be home-made;
 * you have the added disadvantage, that your theme author forces all post images
   to float left:
 * style.css of your theme:
 *     ```
       .entry img {
            float: left;
            background: #fff;
            margin: 6px 10px 5px 0px;
            border: none;
            padding: 9px;
            border: 1px dotted #ccc;
       }
       ```
   
 * see what changes, if you remove the `float: left;` line from that style …

 * Hi, thanks for your reply. What exactly do you mean by WP’s built-in image captions?
   Are you talking about the media upload feature of the visual editor?
 * Because I did the changes to the CSS for all of the .entry img selectors, but
   nothing changed. I also tried inserting the image with the media/visual editor
   image feature, but it also had no changes after deleting the float left.
 * What type of system do you recommend that I use then for the captioning?
 * Thanks!
