Content archives setting for align left is not working

[David Borrink]

Suddenly, I have archive featured images not aligning left when they're clearly supposed to. My content archives setting is to align left, but the class of all the images is "aligncenter" in the HTML output. I can change to align center or align right in the settings and the classes reflect those choices. What would be interfering and preventing alignleft from going to the HTML? This happened out of the blue with no changes to the site today.

So it can't be a plug-in update since we have done none in the last 48 hours.

I can go into the HTML in my inspector, and change a feature image's class to "align left" and the CSS takes over and makes the image align left, go to 50% width and allow the text to move to the right.... the way it should be.

The issue still remains, why is "align left" not being assigned to the HTML when it's clearly set in the Content Archives settings? But I can set it to none, center, and right without any problem and it works. But set it to left and it goes center.

Baffled.

It cannot be done automatically, either something in functions.php (use of filter to override the output) or something likewise is triggering the alignment.

This is sort of the problem where unless we can see the hood, we cannot help.

Goodluck.

It does the same on my internal setup so that leads me to believe it's a theme issue. I'll try the default Genesis Sample theme, and not my theme modified from Genesis Sample, then compare my functions files. Perhaps I bumped a line at some point.

Found it. It was a function that somehow I forgot to delete after a failed test. I deleted it and all is well. It was this....

/**
* Remove Image Alignment from Featured Image
*
*/
function be_remove_image_alignment( $attributes ) {
$attributes['class'] = str_replace( 'alignleft', 'aligncenter', $attributes['class'] );
return $attributes;
}
add_filter( 'genesis_attr_entry-image', 'be_remove_image_alignment' );
