Hi,
I am having some issues positioning photos and wrapping the text. I have transferred a wordpress.com blog to this theme and the formatting is now off.

Can someone please help? Do I have to re edit each posting?

I am trying to accomplish this:

Photo Photo Photo text text text text text text text
Photo Photo Photo text text text text text text text
Photo Photo Photo text text text text text text text
Photo Photo Photo text text text text text text text
Photo Photo Photo text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text Photo Photo Photo
text text text text text text Photo Photo Photo
text text text text text text Photo Photo Photo
text text text text text text Photo Photo Photo
text text text text text text Photo Photo Photo
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text

BUT I GET THIS

Photo Photo Photo

text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text
Photo Photo Photo
Photo Photo Photo
text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text

Maybe this is a bug in Wordpress 2.7, or maybe MimboPro is responsible, but in either case, I myself fix that problem by doing this:

1) I toggle the HTML editor instead of the Visual editor
2) Find the intended image, look under the class="blah blah" and then I DELETE the alignment reference "alignleft" or "alignright" or "aligncenter" or "alignnone".
3) Then after the width and height references, I TYPE IN: align="left"

TIP: Use quotes around the words left, right, or center, and make sure it's inserted somewhere AFTER the class reference (which will have a semicolon) but before the end of the tag.

Does anybody have a quicker solution?

Thanks - It worked perectly. Now I have only 36 more posts to go....

I'm working on a new site http://www.tvverdict.com using Mimbo Pro and this issue is really annoying. I don't have it in my older sites using Pro so I'm very confused.

After you place a photo,you have to go in and manually change the html to class="picleft" instead of the align code that shows up or the photo will not set inline.

Is there a permanent solution to this because changing each code by hand is a pain!

Unfortunately the theme was released just before WP came out with their image editor and the various classes. The good news is that you should be able to fix this with a few CSS tweaks.

With WP 2.7, when you add a new photo, it lets you choose to align it either left, right, center or none. When this happens, it adds classes accordingly (as celestian mentioned) like alignleft, alignright, etc.

So...if you open style.css and scroll down to where .picleft is defined, you can change this...

.picleft {
	float:left;
	margin:4px 14px 10px 0;
	border:4px solid #e0e0db;
	}

...to this...

.picleft, img.alignleft {
	float:left;
	margin:4px 14px 10px 0;
	border:4px solid #e0e0db;
	}

This combines my old class (".picleft") with WP's new class to give them the same properties. You can do the same with .alignright, etc. These classes will be added automatically in the next upgrade.

I'll give that a shot. Now if I can just get google analytics to work I'm golden!

I changed the style.css file as you said. That didn't work.

I used the hack kindly supplied by celestian, and that didn't work either. I did make sure I cleared the IE cache before testing also. I would have happily made 100 changes manually, if they would work.

Is anyone NOT having this problem? Is there a way to fix it for those of us who are?
