# Align Image Left

 * Quick question from someone not that knowledgeable in Word Press. I lost the 
   ability to align images left where the text hugs the image. Instead, the text
   appears directly under the image. It only happens on my postings, not my main
   pages. Can someone PLEASE help me fix this in beginner terms? My site is located
   at:
    [http://www.lensaunders.com/wp/](http://www.lensaunders.com/wp/) As you 
   will see, on my home page, it works. Only when I post a new item to my blog I
   cannot do it. Thanks again.

 * can you post a direct link to one post where the image does not align?
 * are you ticking the ‘left’ box under ‘alignment’ when inserting the image?
 * at least in the tow last recent posts, it seems to be ticked on ‘center’
 * PS;
    your theme does not seem to have the correct styles; have a look at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images](http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images)
   and add these style at the end of mx4.css of your theme:
 *     ```
       img.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
       img.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
       img.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}
       a img.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
       a img.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
       a img.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}
       .wp-caption.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
       .wp-caption.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
       .wp-caption.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}
       ```

 * Hi alchymyth, first thank you for responding. First, to answer your questions:
 * 1. I cannot post a direct link to an example of where it does not align…..since
   it did not work, I did not like the way it looked, so i just made a post with
   no image. I’d rather have no image than have it look bad with the text directly
   under the image.
 * 2. Yes, I have been clicking the ‘left’ box.
 * 3. Yes, you are correct. I placed the images as ‘center’ as I felt it looked 
   better this way, than align left wihout the text wrapping.
 * 4. I will add the style you sent over. Do I need to remove anything from my styles
   so there will be no conflict with other coding.
 * Once again, thank you.

 * As a follow up to my above post with regards to #4, I see this in my mx4.css…..
   just want to make sure the new code does not cause conflict.
 * `/* Random Images
    ————————————————–*/
 * .random a img {
    margin-left: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 4px; border-bottom:
   1px solid #a3a3a3; border-right: 1px solid #a3a3a3; border-top: 1px solid #f5f5f5;
   border-left: 1px solid #f5f5f5; background:#ffffff; }
 * .random a:hover img{
    background-color: #dcdcdc; }
 * .aligncenter{display:block;margin:0 auto;}
 * .wp-caption-text{text-align:center;}
