Image block won't center
Permalink
I'm a new user to Concrete5, my website designer suggested that I use it and I absolutly LOVE it. It's so much easier to use than Wordpress, however there are a lot more bugs and not as much tutorials on youtube. 9anyone want to put up more tutorials?!)
One of these bugs is that Image blocks won't always center. I say always because sometimes they do. I notice that if I have a layout with columns they are less like to center. Which is really annoying because then I have to figure out the measurements by holding up a ruler to my computer screen (sorrry OCD runs crazy in this one.)
An example is the special olympics logo that should be centered. http://www.autisticpowers.com/index.php/activities/special-olympics...
Here is the code for the image that clearly says center!
#blockStyle1806HeaderLayout1Cell1Layout4Cell3340 {
text-align: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
The other bug I notice is that sometimes when I try to move a block up it starts freaking out and will only go down. No matter what I do it will only go down. Once that block makes up it's mind that is going to down there is no reasoning with it and you just have to figure out another way around your problem.
Lastly the layouts (I find I have the most problems around layouts but I use them alot) won't move up and down and there is no way to drag them up or down.
Does anyone have a work around for these issues that doesn't involve writing code and if it does involve that a step by step way to fix it since I don't usually fiddle with the code?

I'm using 5.6.0.1 but I tried updating and I keep getting all these error messages and since I don't really know what I'm doing I don't want to mess with it.
I will try to do what you said with the images and the CSS line. To me that's more important than the move functions since I can usually get around the moves but it's driving me nuts not to be able to center images.
Thanks for the help!

Ha I figured out what I was doing wrong! You are a genius!
From what you said about that snippet of code I wondered why it said header since I wasn't wanting it for the header I wanted it in the main part of the page. Also it always seems to mess up when I put in a layout.
So I went back to the page and scrolled to the bottom and found an area marked (main.) Instead of putting my content in the header I put it in the main and everything centered perfectly.
It would also explain why everything wanted to go down and I couldn't move anything up. It assumed that the contect would of course go below the header.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#page #header #header-area img { display: block; }any images that are affected by that code will not center with the other code you have used, so if you could remove that line (39 of the main.css) or make it more specific so it only affects what it is supposed to affect that will likely fix your image issue.
What version of Concrete5 are you using? There were some major leaps forward with the move functionality with 5.7.4.
I don't know about moving layouts though, sorry.
