# Image Caption Style –

 *  [zuwxiv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zuwxiv/)

 * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-style/)
 * There’s a function in the Media.php file which does:
    “Allow plugins/themes to
   override the default caption template.”
 * But I don’t want this to happen – the captions are looking like plain text and
   part of the blog entree. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I tried messing 
   with the code a bit, but didn’t manage to do much. (Not experienced at all with
   php)
 * Basically, I want image captions to be in a different style text, preferably 
   with a content box around them, like it is by default. (Some themes also seem
   to override the formatting of the image – not showing up centered, etc.)
 * Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated!

 * Is there anything in the themes code that changes this? I’ve been looking and
   can’t find it….
 * Sorry for the bump. 🙁

 * I was having trouble with this, as well and this is what I found. With the theme
   I was using it was missing the default style for captions so I had to go into
   the style.css for the theme and add this:
 *     ```
       .wp-caption {
       border: 1px solid #ddd;
       text-align: center;
       background-color: #f3f3f3;
       padding-top: 4px;
       margin: 10px;
       -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;
       }
       ```
