There are issues with using the “Visual” editor in WordPress 3.2 and up, so that’s likely why you have the “mceTemp” div. Try using the HTML editor.

I’d recommend you put the navy background on something that surrounds both the media credit and the caption to ensure that there are no gray bars in between. If you can’t find anything to target with your CSS, you can surround the images yourself by filtering the_content in your functions.php file, though beware of any performance degradation.

I tried changing the top margin in alignright to 0px. That’s not fixing the problem. Also, the reason I specified .wp-caption-dt is that that’s the class associated with the dt. I thought the class would override the standard dt declaration, though I could be wrong about that. My CSS abilities are okay but not stellar.

Thanks, Scott. The reason I thought the definition list code was coming from media-credit is that I have two images on that page — one with media-credit and one without. The one with media credit looks like this:

while the one without media-credit looks like this:

I’ll try changing the values for the alignright class, but I’m afraid that will affect too many other places on the site. If that doesn’t work, is the solution then to find the caption processing in WordPress and add a third class, after alignright, to override that top margin?

Hi Tery, You'll want to do this in your theme's CSS file rather than modifying the plugin directly. You should be able to target the images, captions, and media credit sections using the CSS classes you see above, among other tags. Just so you know, the code you posted is part of the caption, not the Media Credit, and the styling for it is coming from line 174 in custom.css in your newsport theme. Media Credit uses divs and spans only. Also, in your custom.css file, you specify a bunch of MC-specific styles. However, the targeting is incorrect for many of theme: .wp-caption-dt should be .wp-caption dt and so on. When modifying the caption styles, you might want to consider only modifying them if they immediately follow an MC div using adjacent sibling selectors, such as .media-credit-container + .wp-caption.

You can change this in the Media settings of your blog. You’ll see a section for Media Credit.

This plugin does exactly what I need, as far as adding the credit to the image and making it easy to style. However, I’m having a problem with the styling of my pre-existing caption. As far as I can tell, media-credit puts the caption in a definition list. I need to style that definition list to remove the top margin, but I can’t find where to do that. You can see an example of the problem at http://www.whetstone.wesley.edu/2011/10/24/wesley-football-team-crushes-frostburg-state-at-homecoming/ .

I need to change:

but I can’t find where to do that. Help?

Trying to attach the credit to individual photos. Done so in the upload photo section however it is not showing up under the image in an article, but is at the bottom of the article. We use many articles and would rather have the credit immediately below the image – how can i do this?

Hi Jacob,

I didn’t realize that the plugin didn’t work with 3.2.1. I’ll definitely dig into this when I get a chance and post an update as soon as possible.

Would love to hear about your usage of the plugin — I certainly haven’t had a chance to learn about many users of this one.

Thanks,
Scott
