(This is another entry about using a WordPress Blog. When things don’t work the way I would like them to, I try to see if adjustments are possible. If I can’t figure things out on my own (most occasions), I do a Google search. If that fails, I contact my mentor. On this one, I got results from the Google search. I turned up a helper named, Mark McLaren (McBuzz Communications), who walked me through to solutions – Thanks, Mark)
What I wanted to do, on my Writing Scots blog, was to put “Ben Gaskill 13 rebounds” on two separate lines with “Ben Gaskill” on one line and “13 rebounds” on the second line.
In VISUAL, I put the cursor where I wanted the picture/caption to land. I set up the picture with the caption in the Media Library and inserted it into the beginning of a paragraph. I was disappointed that the “13” was on the top line with “Ben Gaskill.”
How did I fix the caption setup?
I clicked out of VISUAL and into HTML.
I then found where the data was for the picture/caption.
The first line in mine started with “[caption id” minus the quotes.
In between the first “Gaskill” and “13” that appeared I inserted “<br/>” without the quotes.
IMPORTANT: I needed to stay in HTML and click, “Update Post.” I then saw the wording set up the way I wanted it.
CAPTIONS CAN REVERT TO ORIGINAL SPACING. Successfully fixing one caption setup led to my going back into the same post to insert another picture and work on another caption in the same post. I successfully set up the new one but noticed that my first one had reverted to its old “Ben Gaskill 13” ways.
The solution was to make sure in HTML that both pictures had the “<br/> in place before hitting, “Update Post.” When I did, that both pictures were set up the way I wanted them to be.
