 * The caption text keeps getting squashed on the page despite it appearing okay
   in the editor. How can I fix this?

 * Try
 *     ```
       .wp-block-image .alignleft>figcaption {
          display: block;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!
 * That worked for two out of the four images. Any idea why those two remaining 
   haven’t worked?

 * Or do I need to change it to .alignright for those ones?

 * Try that. Are you using the new block editor?

 * Looks like it worked, thank you! Yes, I am using the new block editor and starting
   to make my peace with it…
    Thanks for all your help!

   Just a note, none of the images in your article show up for me. This is probably
   because of the Jetpack Lazy Load setting. It’s not compatible with all themes.
 * To fix it, go to the Dashboard, Jetpack, Settings. Here, look for the “Enable
   Lazy Loading for images” setting, and turn it off.
