   There's a function in the Media.php file which does:
   "Allow plugins/themes to override the default caption template."

   But I don't want this to happen - the captions are looking like plain text and part of the blog entree. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I tried messing with the code a bit, but didn't manage to do much. (Not experienced at all with php)

   Basically, I want image captions to be in a different style text, preferably with a content box around them, like it is by default. (Some themes also seem to override the formatting of the image - not showing up centered, etc.)

   Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated!

   Is there anything in the themes code that changes this? I've been looking and can't find it....

   Sorry for the bump. :(

   I was having trouble with this, as well and this is what I found. With the theme I was using it was missing the default style for captions so I had to go into the style.css for the theme and add this:
   

   .wp-caption {
   border: 1px solid #ddd;
   text-align: center;
   background-color: #f3f3f3;
   padding-top: 4px;
   margin: 10px;
   -moz-border-radius: 3px;
   -khtml-border-radius: 3px;
   -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
   border-radius: 3px;
   }
   .wp-caption img {
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   border: 0 none;
   }
   .wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
   font-size: 11px;
   line-height: 17px;
   padding: 0 4px 5px;
   margin: 0;
   }

   This is the site where I finally found out how to do this.
