Hey,
When I try to align and image in the center it takes the whole page width. And this only happens when I am using caption. Without caption it works fine.

And this is my website: emperorpost.com
I guess when I use caption the theme somehow aligns the picture with the text.
Hi,

There was a issue similar to what you are describing, this happened after the WordPress update. If I recall correctly this was fixed by a theme update, version 8.2.
Thanks

And I am on the version 8.1. I don’t want to update my theme altogether. That way I lose some of the changes I made in the theme files. Can I somehow just update the files that were updated in the update?
Hi,
There were many modified files in the 8.2 update, after the WordPress update. These fixed various issues that were present at the time. The problem was not just with the captions.
You should try and update the theme to the latest version, version 8.5 introduced many new features.
If possible try and make customization using a child theme, that would be a lot more future proof ten modifying actual theme files. Only if the files are not supported by the child theme you should modify them directly.
Here is an update guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Yes, I have made most of my modifications using a child theme.
Okay, I will update it in a staging site and see if everything works fine.
Okay so I updated the theme to 8.5.1 via filezilla and I still have this problem.
Many other problem have resolved itself.
I just want to make sure of one other thing. I am using a child theme, do I need to do something (upgrade) to my child theme as well? or that should be good to go ?
I checked it in another browser and everything seems to be fine. must be something to do with cache.
Just let me know about the child theme? Will my child theme work fine with 8.5.1? I am using the child theme that I activiated with newspaper 7 I guess.
Hi,
Activate the child theme and see if there are any issues. Depending on the child theme customization there could be need to adapt the code used in it, if there are problems. make tests to check for potential problems.
Thanks
Hey,
Looks alright. I try to customise as little as possible. So that update doesn’t cause problems.
Thank you for your support.
