Hi, I’m getting started with the free version of the StartUp theme, and would like to decrease the font size for captions below our images. I tried to find this in the CSS style sheet using Firebug but it’s not clear what I need to change (assuming I can). Thanks for your help!
(If you need it, here’s the site URL: http://southplainfieldsmallfry.com/Try:
p.wp-caption-text { font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; }Thanks, that did the trick! (I’m sure I’ll have more questions…. appreciate your quick support!)
You’re welcome.
Hi again! I’m having problems with the caption text size again. The original CSS changes did work as suggested (I set up a child theme CSS file), but the text size (and font type) has reverted back to normal paragraph style. Has the theme coding changed?
It looks like the
p.wp-caption-textstyle is missing.Try running your child theme code through this tool to check for errors:
It says the code is validated (this is in the child css file. And it worked before (when I first asked this question and changed the CSS as suggested). I’m wondering if the child css might not be overriding the styles.css for the theme?
Later… hmm. I added the p.-caption-text code to the original styles.css and this seems to work. So still wondering if my child CSS file is somehow not working.
You’re probably right that it’s a specificity issue and it’s not overriding.
You could try:
#content p.wp-caption-text { font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; }Clear (ignore this reply)
