    1) In WordPress, the themes have a style sheet. Go to Appearance-->Edit. On the right you should see all the files in your wordpress theme. Scroll down all the way until the end of the list and you should see (style.css). Click on this and it will allow you to edit the styles for your theme.

    2) When you make a post and you insert an image - when you click the image in your image library or upload it, it should give you the option to align it left, right, center or none.

    That's how it is normally done. I hope this helps you, but if not, please post your problem more specifically, perhaps with a link to the post you are having problems with. There is a way to fix all your problems, but you have to know a little about html and css. There are a few techniques I've used when having problems with images aligning, including modifying the HTML code to adding my own classes to the style sheet.

        Take a look at the HTML for your image. There should be something like <img src ="image.jpg" class="center" />. In your style.css file I mentioned in the previous post. There should be a class starting with a "." centered, or something like that relating to images.

        If you can't find that, you can try to just try enclosing your image with <center><img .../></center>

        I'm not familiar with that particular theme, but if it's having some problems with centering images, you can also modify your style.css file to just add a class to center your images (or anything else you want to center):

        (add this to the bottom of your style.css file and save)
        .aligncenter {
        display: block;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
        }

        (then, in the html for the image, it would look like this):

        <img src="image.jpg" class="aligncenter" />

        This will definitely allow you to center your images.

        Again, I hope this helps.

          I found the theme, downloaded and installed it. Yes, it has problems with the CSS file. When an image is added and you choose "centered" in the options before inserting it into the post, it does add the <img class="aligncenter . . . ) but it is missing the last " in the html. It should be <img class="aligncenter" . . .>

          Once that problem was corrected, it still didn't work. That is because the designer of the theme forgot to include the class in the style sheet. Adding the class to the style sheet as I said in the previous post will solve that problem.

          Because of the simple problems like that, I wouldn't trust that theme myself as I would expect other little problems that I haven't discovered yet. On the designer's website, he indicates that he put his heart and soul in the the theme development and finally has published it. But it has problems still and I didn't see any indications that the theme will be updated.

          So, if you really like it, keep it, but expect to add little tweaks to the style sheet when you need to.

            Actually i like the flexibility theme but i don't know it's not working for my new site and strange thing is that i am using this theme for my other sites and they are running quite well. I asked some one to edit this and replied that i have to take a backup and reinstall the wordpress one more time. So did that too but it's working again. I love flexibility theme
