 * I know, it must sound horrible to you, but I would like to have the captions 
   below my pictures. What do I have to do?

 * You could start with something like this in your child theme’s stylesheet:
 *     ```
       .wp-caption.alignleft .wp-caption-text {
         float: none;
         position: relative;
         top: inherit;
         left: 0;
         text-align: center;
         width: 100%;
         border-top: none;
       }
       .wp-caption.alignright .wp-caption-text {
         float: none;
         position: relative;
         top: inherit;
         right: 0;
         width: 100%;
         border-top: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’ve tested it and it seems to work, but I haven’t tested extensively with different
   sizes of images and screens, so you’ll want to do that to make sure it looks 
   as intended.
