Need help changing caption text size, style

    Hi,
    I just changed the theme on my WordPress blog to Imbalance 2, and I’ve been trying to make some style changes including to the text of the captions, which I find distractingly large within a post, e.g.:
    http://lisa-johnson.ca/2012/06/digital-playground-storify-hot-dog-day/

    I’ve looked around the support forum here and on the theme developer’s page, and seen advice to change font size in this code (which in my theme is contained within editor-style.css 

    .wp-caption {
	background: #f1f1f1;
	border: none;
	-khtml-border-radius: 0;
	-moz-border-radius: 0;
	-webkit-border-radius: 0;
	border-radius: 0;
	color: #888;
	font-size: 12px;
	line-height: 18px;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
	max-width: 632px !important; /* prevent too-wide images from breaking layout */
	padding: 4px;
	text-align: center;
}
.wp-caption img {
	margin: 5px;
}
.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
	margin: 0 0 4px;
}

    But, when I changed what it looks like I should change (the font size) or tried adding font size information to the caption-text part below, nothing changed.

    Any advice? As is probably pretty obvious, I don’t really know what I’m doing :/

    Thank you very much.
    Lisa

    you might need to find the corresponding style in style.css – editor-style.css only formats texts within the visual post/page editor.

    however, the existing .wp-caption styles are not applied because a few lines before in style.css you have this broken line:

    #footer-left a {

    remove it.

    You should change this in your style.css in the folder of the theme you are using, not editor-style.css
