I was just wondering, how can I center the text in the description of my photo? I thought there was a page
on dA that shows those codes, but I canΒ΄t seem to find it. PLEASE HELP!
Again, thankyou for all the support you are giving me

This was working for my deviantID for awhile, but then it decided to suddenly not work and everything on it was to the side again. I used the code ((and I have used it for everything else)) but now, it decided to have a stroke

oops sorry if this is too old to be commenting on, but Instead it only centers one line, and I have to add this code over and over again when it used to work like a charm. π: 1 β©: 0

oh hello! Replying to you since I want to mention this only works for journals. Doesn't seem to work for deviations / art posts
(yes I need to center some text and that's why I is here)

Werid?? It works for my posts :0

the standard center command is no longer supported on most browsers, it is considered obsolete (commenting this since a lot of ppl are suggesting that)
and also div align is css coding, i am fairly certain image descriptions only support basic html (dependent on if you're a core user as well, i believe), not css.
css is only supported in custom boxes
idk what ppl use now to get text centered. i've gotten it to work by going into google docs and centering the text there and copy/pasting

can you center text on da id's? I know you've been able to in the past but it's not letting me?
π: 0 β©: 2
Just had this issue but on the featured deviation-I copy pastedΒ π: 0 β©: 1
And removed rhe _ and replaced it with a space
it seemed to work fine, Iβm wondering if itβs something to do with the quotation marks because when I tried to type it out myself they were slanted, while the ones I can copy paste are perfectly vertical- anyway I hope this helps
that's the one i've tried but it strangely doesn't work?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe replace div with p
usually if the ββ are slanted it doesnβt seem to want to work?Β
Its really weird- deviantart is breaking I swear and it sucks because this is the only social media I want/haveΒ

Hey! Iβm having a problem using this, can someone help? I have tried using it with even just text but it still doesnβt work even when I copy and paste what you guys said works: π: 0 β©: 1
But but when I put in the content and save it it just looks like this:

I'm using this, but instead of centering it, it actually gives me a line break?Β Did it change again?

Not to my knowledge, honestly

Strangely enough, it works with this, but only WITHOUT the < / div >Β at the end?? (Sorry for spaces, but it wouldn't take it otherwise)Β Β π: 0 β©: 1
It's not "div align", it's "p align". That "div" stuff never worked for me either-
π: 0 β©: 1
No, when I use "p align" it gives me a page break, as I've mentioned before.Β The whole div align thing only works if I drop that div at the end (close) of whatever I want centered.Β Yes it's weird, if I put it in front of a paragraph, it will only center that one paragraph, and I've read that it will center everything unless you put the < div > at the end of where you want it to stop, but in reality it didn't center everything for me, it only centered the one paragraph where I put it on. I'm guessing it seems to work differently for different people, might have something to do with the DA version you run, or which Windows you run or something else.Β Β Β
I worked from this link:Β Β deviantart.zendesk.com/hc/en-uβ¦
π: 0 β©: 1
I have experienced the same with the p align thing. It only works on one paragraph at a time, but you can always copy & paste it.
Do you have DA Eclipse? Maybe it doesn't work correctly with that version, but idk
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes I do have Eclipse, but since I've only been a core member for all of 2 days, I still haven't even looked at Eclipse...lol.Β Still trying to figure out the current system..
π: 0 β©: 1
I know it might sound weird, but have you tried it on your smartphone, too?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I don't use DA on my phone....I can't be bothered with it on my phone.Β Not to worry, I got it centered, even though it's done differently to what has been suggested.Β Thank you though

Could I get some help?
This coding format worked for me before, and I was able to center text on my deviantID.
However while doing some renovations I accidentally deleted all of my description, and now I can no longer center the text.
I've tried every other method mentioned in this comment section, but it still won't work (it still stays to the right).

Hi there, I don't suppose you could tell me how you fixed the problem? c:
My deviantID text isn't centering either- I remember having this problem at one point before, but I don't remember how I fixed it.
Anyway, I'd love some help with this!
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure thing! I've actually had someone define the problem for me before, so I'll quote it here:
" The code is still < div align="center" > (but without the spaces), but the reason it won't go across the whole widget space is you have to have a line of text that's big enough to take up the whole space.Β
If you write a line of text that is big enough to take up the whole space, it'll center the text. If you don't want a huge line of text, you could probably achieve the same effect by making a transparent .png file that's long enough to stretch across the whole widget. "
Hope it helps!

Ahh, that makes sense! I had a really big image in my deviantID before,
I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it wasn't centering anymore!
Thank you so much! c:
