# Default CSS class for image in post

 * Hi.
 * Is it possible, for when you insert an image into a post, to automatically assign
   it a CSS class? Would just seem a little simpler than inserting the image, closing
   the media uploader, clicking on the image proper then navigating to advanced 
   settings to change the class.
 * The reason being is I want to apply some custom CSS formatting to certain images
   in posts.
 * I imagine I would have to do this via the functions.php template (correct me 
   if I’m wrong), but I’m not sure where to go after that. If anyone has any tips
   and/or solutions that would be great!

 * Each post gets it’s own class automatically – eg: `postid-1`, `postid-2`, etc…
 * So if you know the post ID and there’s only one image in the post you could use`.
   postid-1 img` to select it with CSS.

 * I was just about to say I want it for all posts (as it’s a photo gallery), but
   then I’ve just thought that I can give all posts the same class and go from there!
 * Well, hopefully, anyway :p

 * Hi,
 * Find out what your posts are wrapped in (should be **content** or something similar)
   Then maybe….
 * ./#content **img** {
    >YOUR STYLE< }
 * Let me know if it worked please or post the url (not sure if wordpress allows
   this) and I’ll have a look.

 * **\*\*EDIT\*\***
    Just noticed you didn’t want the class for ALL images so just
   define a div class with styling in your stylesheet and then wrap each picture
   in the that div class individualy.
