sorry cais – i don’t understand what you mean. even this basic coding is a bit beyond my capabilities.

@photocrati

i’ve been working with all the posts as private whilst i sort out formatting, but i’ve made a few examples live so you can compare them.

http://markwebber.org.uk/archive/2015/06/05/image-test-1
[singlepic id=66 float=center] with shortcode “align center” using TinyMCE
*** this first example is where i would like the image and caption to be positioned ***

http://markwebber.org.uk/archive/2015/06/05/image-test-2
[singlepic id=66 float=none] with shortcode “align center” using TinyMCE

http://markwebber.org.uk/archive/2015/06/05/image-test-3
[singlepic id=66 float=center] with no alignment of shortcode

http://markwebber.org.uk/archive/2015/06/05/image-test-4
[singlepic id=66 float=none] with no alignment of shortcode

thanks !

let me know if there’s anything you want me to change for testing.

looking back – it seems that i was previously using float=none in the post like this [singlepic id=xx w=320 h=240 float=none] and the image was centered.

is it possible that something in this code for the title caption (adapted from Benjamin’s suggestion above) that is overriding or defeating float=none ?

<?php if (!defined ('ABSPATH')) die ('No direct access allowed'); ?><?php if (!empty($image)) { ?>
    <a href="<?php echo nextgen_esc_url($image->imageURL); ?>"
       title="<?php echo esc_attr($image->linktitle); ?>"
       <?php if(!empty($target)) { ?>target="<?php echo esc_attr($target); ?>"<?php } ?>
        <?php echo $image->thumbcode; ?>>
        <img class="<?php echo $image->classname; ?>"
             src="<?php echo nextgen_esc_url($image->thumbnailURL); ?>"
             alt="<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext); ?>"
             title="<?php echo esc_attr($image->alttext); ?>"/>
    </a>
    <em><span style="font-size: 10px;"><?php if (!empty($image->description)) echo esc_html($image->description); ?></span></em>
    <?php if (!empty($image->caption)) { ?><span><?php echo $image->caption; ?></span><?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

well … i continued digging around, and i seem to have fixed the problem using https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

i did a search/replace to remove the \ from the line as shown above on the wp_posts and wp2_posts tables of the database. (though only wp_posts was affected).

someone please tell me if i’ve done a terrible thing ? if not, i hope this information might be useful for others.

would it be possible to include options for removing backslashes (or any other stray characters) in future updates of this excellent plugin ?

i realise now that w= and h= are reduntant as i also have these values fixed in the Gallery Settings for SinglePic.

in these settings, the only options for float are right, left or none (not center).

i’m finding that to have both the image and title below centered in the column, i need to include the shortcode float=center in the post (for the image) AND to have all the shortcode text aligned center within the post (for the title).

am i missing something (else) ?

@benjamin

Thanks very much for taking the time to do this ! I’ve played around with it and got the font size and style the way I want it.

Do I now need to use [template=singlepic-title-below] in every post along with [singlepic id=xx w=320 h=240 float=center] now or is there a way to make this template the default for singlepic (or otherwise) ?

Thanks @whiletrue – your suggestions have pointed me towards fixing the programme.

I checked “Disable buttons on excerpts” to stop the share links appearing in the header on my events calendar.

Then checking “Show share buttons in custom post types: ai1ec_event” brought the share links back onto the individual event pages.

Thank you very much – Time.ly were not very helpful at all on their forums ! …
