WordPress relies on themes to allow users to align images and create captions. If your theme doesn’t support alignment or captions, you’ll find adding images to WordPress to be very frustrating. WordPress provides documentation to fix this problem, but it’s requires that you edit your theme’s CSS file: .aligncenter, div.aligncenter { display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .alignleft { float: left; } .alignright { float: right; } Backup your Theme First Before you edit your WordPress theme, always make sure you have a backup because WordPress editor does not allow you to undo mistakes.

An amazing start-up that I provide consulting for recently used WordPress to build user-generated consumer complaints feature. The idea behind ConsumerBell is to empower consumers by grouping their complaints together and giving them leverage. For ConsumerBell to work, they need complaints!

ConsumerBell built a custom plugin, but I’ve found some other interesting ways to solve the problem of generating user created content without programming.
