Image description in wordpress

Does anyone have any idea on how to put a description of the image bellow it? Like: picture and under it "picture taken by a dude". Is there a plugin for this kind of job? Or do i have to code it in CSS myself ? thanks in advance!

 

if you use wysiwyg in your text editor, just press CTRL+Enter. it will bring the text cursor below the image.

I don't use external text editors . I use the standard text editor from Wordpress, but i think will start using a text editor.

 

owh..if like that, it is more simple.

after you put the image in the editor. just press enter to make the text cursor below the image. then, type your description.

I wish it was that simple but i need to the image and description to be raped in a div. The description must be blended with the image, because if i rap text arround the image i can't make a image description.

 

try use this. wrap the image and the description.

nice. You da man! I didn't know that either.

 

Yes it works wonderfully, but i have a description that's longer the image width it doesn't work . If you know how to fix this = thanks.

 

just set the width according to your image's width. for example, if your image's width is 200px. so in div style just add this.

width: 200px;

Code (markup):

and it will looks like this

<div style="float: left; display: block; width: 200px;">
<!--image here-->
description here
</div>

Code (markup):

hope this helps.

Well i had already thought of that and the description goes over the 200 px border in width if i input a longer one. I have to have hit enter and go to the next line for it to look nicely. I guess it's ok, it isn't too much trouble. i'm not very good with CSS, is there a wordwrap tag, couse this would do the trick ?

 

just align it center. add this code in the style.

text-align: center;

Code (markup):

other command you can use: left, right, or justify.

-cypher.

 

Well yeah, i knew that but if i want to align the picture on the left or on the right if i input a width section in CSS my theme goes all bad.

 

hurm...weird. i dunno man what could be wrong. maybe can make another style for the description.

<div style="...">
<!--image-->
<p style="..."> your description </p>
</div>

Code (markup):

-cypher.

 

There's no need for another div for the description, as it still would go over the width of the image div, if the descip is too long,
