Hello.  I’ve had a miserable time with my pictures after I changed to the Hello Sassafras theme.  On my posts where I have many pictures, they are all out of place.  I am slowly working on that, however I cannot figure out why the caption has an opening quote mark for all my pictures plus there is quite a bit of space between the caption and the photo.  When I went to the text editor, I did notice that a space was in front of my caption.  I did delete that, but still doesn’t help.  Attaching screenshot of a photo with the quote mark.  Thank you.

That quote is in the styling for the theme.  You can remove the ” by going to line 664 in your style sheet and deleting this entire section
.wp-caption-text::before {
content: “\201C”;
display: block;
font-size: 25px;
height: 0;
left: -20px;
position: relative;
top: -8px;
}
For the photos being out of place.  There is nothing in the theme that should have changed that.  Were you using a plugin previously? They should have maintained the default styling from the editor.  What is it that they are doing?

Thank you for the reply about how to remove that quote! I didn’t know it was that easy, but that part is fine now. Again, thank you!!

Regarding my pictures, there are 3 posts I have that are image heavy (its a new travel blog). In the visual editor, everything looks fine. However, my actual blog page has text to the side of my pictures and a lot of white space below some of the pictures (looks perfect in visual editor). Nothing I do remedies this. I went to the text editor and saw quite a few ” ” after the pictures. I removed those, but then the text wraps to the sides of the images. In my last theme, this didn’t happen and no I didn’t use any type of plugin – I just used text and images in the blog post. Not sure if you can look at a blog post, but an example is https://treasuredfamilytravels.com/best-offsite-disney-world-hotel/.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

For the images that the text is wrapping to the left, or right, that means the images are left or right aligned. You can change that by clicking on the image, then picking center. When I inspect your code, below the swan image for example, there are an excessive amounts of empty paragraphs and header tags and that is what is causing the large white gap. If you click over to the “text” tab you should be able to delete those and bring the gap up to a normal height. Let me know if you have any issues.

Thank you again! My old theme everything was aligned to the left. I changed the images to be centered now and that fixed my problems. Thank you!!
