[Support request] Images in edit mode align right. But display left (RTL Problem?)

[Nir]

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 –
198.20.116.197 ecocheck.co.il http://www.ecocheck.co.il
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?

[Tom]

Yes, I’ll likely get this change added in GP 2.2.

Thanks!
