Lining linked pictures in a row

  • jklmd2002 · Member ·

    Hello all
    Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I’m trying to line up pictures that are linked to open to other pages in a row for reviews. The gallery format loses the links and I wasn’t sure of another way that was possible.

    This is the page I’m working on:
    http://lylesmoviefiles.com/figure-reviews/

    Thanks for your help!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The gallery format does no allow linking as you have discovered. See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment and here https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-alignment/#side-by-side

    The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. They are used to achieve wrapping text around images on either the right or left hand side, or to display an image that’s centered without text on either side of it.

    Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.

    Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.

    Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).

    If the text beside the images does not occupy the same amount of space that the image beside it does then the text wrapping will continue and the images and text that follow will have a staggered appearance.

    To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the Text (HTML) editor after each image/text pair:
    <div style="clear:both;"></div>

    Thanks as always timethief.

    That helped make them more uniform. I feel like I could get three in a row. Is that a matter of making the first one justified left, the second justified center and the third justified right?

    No. That will not work. Be aware of the width of your theme and the width of the images first. Then read this carefully https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-alignment/#side-by-side
