Images in edit mode align right. But display left (RTL Problem?)
6 replies · Started by Nir on June 29, 2018
I align an image to right in edit mode.
I see it on the right side (In edit mode).
When I exit edit mode, I display the page, I see the image on the left page side.
I am working with a Right to Left (RTL) Wordpress version (Hebrew).
What is the problem?
Can you help?

To see the new website with the problem you have to add a line to Hosts file -

The running website is old and I am making a new one with Generatepress
Hi there,
When something works in customizer preview but not on live site, it's generally a caching issue.
Can you try clearing all plugin cache and server cache you might have?
Hello Leo,
I don't have a cache like LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache and so on.
The website is new and I didn't put any cache on it.
I have this problem with all the websites I use Generatepress - 5 websites.
I have about - 30 websites with Pojo themes (Pojo.me) - and I don't have this problem with their theme.
Please ask Tom to think about it.
It is something with RTL.
It is not a usual problem.
I think it is in the theme code.
I also disabled all the plugins in 1 Generatepress website.
This website has only one page - home page without nothing in it.
It is a new website I started this week.
So I tried to set an image to left in edit mode.
The website displays it on the right side.

Sounds like it's being caused by this CSS: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/2.1.2/rtl.css#L39-L46
It was likely a mistake adding that in the first place. Aligning left and right should be up to user (regardless of using RTL or not).
I worry about removing it now, as it will cause some images to switch sides on some RTL installations. However, I think in the long run it's the right call.
OK. So did you change the CSS?
Is there a new version?
What do I need to do?
I have websites that this change will affect them.
But I don't care.
I will change them.

I copied the code with the needed change to my website Custom CSS.
And yes, it works well now.
Will you change it in the theme itself?
Nir Petrank
Yes, I'll likely get this change added in GP 2.2.
Thanks!
