Title: Adding Image frames and colored text boxes Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Adding Image frames and colored text boxes * [kforeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kforeman/) * (@kforeman) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-image-frames-and-colored-text-boxes/) * Please Help – I want to add a colored frame around images and text along the bottom included in the frame. Example: [http://www.artbizblog.com/2011/04/live-art-marketing-events.html](http://www.artbizblog.com/2011/04/live-art-marketing-events.html) You can see in the example how the colored frame includes an area for text. There is an option in my Design Options under Post Images and Thumbnails, Default Post Image Settings that offers a check box for adding frame to post images, but I have tried it either way to no avail, and would really prefer the colored option of ghost frame option that allows the text within the framed area. ANY HELP IS SO APPRECIATED! 🙂 Blog still getting set up: [http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com](http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-image-frames-and-colored-text-boxes/#post-2033115) * your example link is using the captions, the text that you can type in when you embed an image into the post (or when you edit the image in a post). * you might need to add corresponding styles to get the colored borders (and might not work with your shadows ..) * Thread Starter [kforeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kforeman/) * (@kforeman) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-image-frames-and-colored-text-boxes/#post-2033207) * Alchymyth, thank you for replying. I am trying to turn my shadows off for the post I am working on, but can’t figure out how to do that. When I first added a the 5 images to this draft page: [http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com/?page_id=96&preview=true](http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com/?page_id=96&preview=true) there were no shadows, then I added the word “frame” to the code area of an image, which did put a frame around them. The issue now is why only 1 out of the 5 has a nice small frame with no shadow and the others look as they do. I want them all the have that same small frame and then I will try your suggestion to add text. Thank you again and any other advise to so appreciated,a s well as understanding that I am new to WordPress (Thesis) and HTML Code. * [http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com/?page_id=96](http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com/?page_id=96) * Thread Starter [kforeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kforeman/) * (@kforeman) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-image-frames-and-colored-text-boxes/#post-2033210) * Also, how/where do I type in text “using the captions”? * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-image-frames-and-colored-text-boxes/#post-2033251) * probably best with a screenshot [http://img854.imageshack.us/i/caption.jpg/](http://img854.imageshack.us/i/caption.jpg/) * when you add a new image to a post, or edit the image in a post, you get this kind of popup. what you enter into the ‘caption’ field, will be shown below the image; and if the styles for wp-caption are in style.css of your theme, it will be in a border/frame together with the image. * Thread Starter [kforeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kforeman/) * (@kforeman) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-image-frames-and-colored-text-boxes/#post-2033512) * alchymyth, my style.css pages tells me: WARNING: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE and to edit in my custom.css. Do you know a code I can type into my custom.css page to have a border added to all my images, without the shadow? I have tried turning that shadow off, have tried in my design page to turn frame images on”, then tried it off, no change to that shadow. And I can not figure out why one image at this link: [http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com/?page_id=96](http://www.paintersjourneyblog.com/?page_id=96) has a nice small frame (what I want) on it and the rest have a larger frame? Although I would like the addition of the little text you can type in the bottom of the frame. This link example is exactly what I would like in an image frame, it shows the little text included in frame area: [http://www.artbizblog.com/2011/03/art-has-value.html](http://www.artbizblog.com/2011/03/art-has-value.html). * Just trying to figure out the code and where to paste it to accomplish this feature/ look. * Thread Starter [kforeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kforeman/) * (@kforeman) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-image-frames-and-colored-text-boxes/#post-2033533) * Please anyone, help!
