It is quite common for themes to have the image caption set with a “standard” WordPress style. You may need to address that in your style.css file before you can make changes in the editor that will display to your liking.
A link to your blog and/or theme may be helpful to provide additional ideas.
I looked thru the style.css files and while I don’t understand enough about code to attempt any changes, that file area doesn’t seem to be where “the problem” is.
Basically, if I make any font size change or color change to the caption text it doesn’t take…that is when I refresh the blog page in the browser, no change has taken place.
I’ve examined the Current Theme Options, but that doesn’t address the issue either.
Not really sure where to turn at this point
Cais, Here’s a link to my blog. I can’t seem to make the font changes stick, no matter what. http://72.32.68.101/~tmihalek/blog/
The theme you are using does not appear to have a style setting for the wp-caption element which is a WordPress “standard” style element.
Although not written in stone, here is a “standard” sample of the wp-caption element(s):
.wp-caption {border: 1px solid #ddd;text-align: center;background-color: #f3f3f3;padding-top: 4px;margin: 10px;
/* optional rounded corners for browsers that support it */
-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;}
You would also have to specifically edit the .wp-caption font-size property to a different value than the current 11px (both in this sample and as inherited from the theme’s ‘.entry’ element around line 285 of the style.css file.
OK, this a bit beyond my skills with code. But thanks for the info. If I can state the problem again, when I change a line of text below a photo from say Heading 2 to Heading 4, the change is not taking place. Even tho I refresh browser, the text I wanted to change is still there.
Your captions are getting their style from .entry in your style.css file. Changing that would change your captions but would also change your entries.
As cais said you have no caption element in the style sheet. You could introduce the code cais gave you into the style sheet (basically just drop it anywhere in style.css and save) and then apply it to your caption.
