Captions Not Showing under images

[PhilMurray]

hi

I am probably missing some CSS here - but for some reason the captions for images are not appearing in this page

The Greats

the CSS i have is taken from the genesis sample child theme [genesis 2.0]

any ideas how to get the captions to show up?

thanks

Phil

here is the CSS i have for wp-caption -- the images are not aligned in this particular URL
--------------------------------------------------------

.wp-caption {
max-width: 100%;
}

.wp-caption.alignleft {
margin: 0 24px 24px 0;
margin: 0 2.4rem 2.4rem 0;
}

.wp-caption.alignright {
margin: 0 0 24px 24px;
margin: 0 0 2.4rem 2.4rem;
}

.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 14px;
font-size: 1.4rem;
font-weight: 700;
text-align: center;
}

I think there is no caption attached with the image, are you sure that you provided captions?

hi Vajrasar

yes - the problem is if i add a caption to an image on that page -- and click UPDATE PAGE - the caption is getting stripped out of the image again -- weird?

if I go to a different page in the site that has an image that is right aligned - the CAPTIONS work just fine.

but for the page that is causing the problem - as soon as i try to add a caption and click UPDATE PAGE it strips the caption out and also removes any alignment that i set for the image?

any idea how to fix this? is it a CSS issue?

thanks

hi Vajrasar

ok - i have found out something about this --- if the image is placed inside a column class [in this case one i created called .one-seventh] the captions do not work.

the same thing happens on other client sites i have where images are inside a column class DIV

has anyone else had this problem and if so how is it resolved please? because in some cases i need to use column classes with captioned images inside them.

thanks

ok - it seems if i delete an image completely - then insert it again from my PC - the images will allow for captioning!!!

why would this be? - it is very frustrating having to go back in and uploaded all the images again just so they can be captioned

Typically, you don't add the caption in the page, but to the actual image in the Media Library.

What happens if you just delete the image from the post (not the Media Library), then re-add it to the post from the Media Library and including a caption? Or are the previous images you're using not in the actual WordPress Media Library?
