How do I add horizontal space to my images by default?

[danoah 1]

Right now when I add an image into a post/page, the text hugs it very tightly and I have to manually change the hspace and vspace. What do I add into CSS to have a 12 pixel horiz/vert margin around all my images?

Are you choosing an alignment from the modal that pops up (for images)? Along with that, the default WP classes for the images are: .alignleft .alignright .alignnone If you want to change the current styles, you can add padding/margins into those classes and then post them in your Custom CSS. Hope that helps!

Hi Kate, thank you. I do align the images left/right, there just aren't any margins around them. I'll see what I can do with this.

Something, perhaps a plugin or a previous modification to the theme may have caused the amount of padding to be reduced. I'd strongly urge you to turn off each plugin one at a time and check with a hard refresh to see if the condition changes. If it does, there may be CSS in the plugin that needs to be tweeked or a workaround found for it. If it's not a plugin, we'll have to examine all the customization you've done. This is why I truly urge you to engage one of our Pros to help you get this all right.
