Here is the code generated by the WordPress editor, with an image inserted from the WP library:

Actually this not quite true as pasting the code into this editor has changed some the code, once more.

Crude it may be but it wraps text around images regardless of the number of paras. I mean it’s so basic I don’t understand all this stuff about CSS, I’m not a programmer, I’m a writer.

and no I haven’t checked the style sheet (for this).

ESme: Nope, not really. I know how CSS works tho but this has nothing to do with CSS, this is basic hmtl, align an image left or right and the text wraps regardless of the number of paragraphs around the image.

Arthur,
Yes, I understand but as I said, wrap around an image has always worked regardless of the number of paragraphs.

So for example, with your theme I have to remove </p> and <p> from even one paragraph before the text wraps let alone two or more paragraphs, it’s not the way HTML works. I never had to do this before and I’ve been using HTML since 1994!

Arthur,
The image wrap problem is not solved. Briefly, removing ‘<p>’ works just fine for the first paragraph but if there’s a second paragraph that is also adjacent to the image, the way you’ve setup image wrap means the second para is not wrapped because it has ‘<p>’ between it and the first para (you can’t remove it because the two paragraphs will combine). I’ve never had this problem before with image wrap so it definitely has something to do with your coding.

Yeah, I just installed it. Good one.

Thanks

Bill

Hmmm, after playing around with different posts, I’m not sure it’s the problem but problem there is.
