Struggling with css margins and div image constraints, seeking guidance and tips for resolution

Struggling with creating a dynamic gallery that works smoothly in jsfiddle but encounters multiple issues when integrated into WordPress. The main problem is the excessive stretching of margins between image titles and meta-data, leading to misalignment and container breakage on the last image. Despite using div constraints, something seems amiss as the code doesn't behave as expected.

The lack of a unique id to distinguish the gallery code from the default styling of my WordPress theme might be a contributing factor. I'm uncertain how to approach addressing this issue. Additionally, despite searching extensively for solutions on confining images within div containers, I remain clueless about the root cause of the problem in my code.

Seeking advice, tips, or insights from the community regarding this matter.

Appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Answer №1

After seeking assistance from Jacob Goh, I was able to resolve the issue that was causing images to break their div containers. The solution involved adding the following line of code:

padding:0 !important; margin: 0 !important

Another challenge I encountered was the padding around the title and meta-data below each image. This issue arose as I integrated my gallery into an existing WP template, affecting the entire site due to cascading style sheets. Upon reading a helpful post on Stack Overflow, I understood that creating a secondary set of header IDs with a unique identifier would address this problem (although I must admit, the identifier "header" wasn't exactly unique).

Initially present in my code was the following styling that impacted not only the gallery headers but also the entire website:

h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6,
p,
ul,
ol,
dl,
address,
form,
fieldset {
margin-top: 2.5em;
margin-bottom: 2.5em;
}

To supplement this, I added the corresponding styles in the stylesheet:

#header h1,
#header h2,
#header h3,
#header h4,
#header h5,
#header h6,
#header p,
#header ul,
#header ol,
#header dl,
#header address,
#header form,
#header fieldset {
line-height: 1.05em;
margin-top: .1em;
margin-bottom: .5em;
}

Furthermore, I enclosed all base HTML code within the div identifier:

<div id="header">my code</div>

With these adjustments made, I can finally rest easy knowing the issues have been resolved. Time for some well-deserved sleep!
