 * Can you all consider making the size of captions smaller like most other themes?
   It’s a bit confusing to see body text and a caption of the same size. Usually
   captions are smaller and in italics.

 * If you want I can help you reduce the size if you would like.

 * In your [Child Theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or [CSS Editor Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
   try this code:
 *     ```
       .wp-caption-text {
         font-size: 80%;
         font-style: italic;
       }
       ```
   
 * **\*Note**
    If your theme has a custom CSS Editor in it, you can also paste the
   code in there.
 * Never edit core CSS or PHP files under **Appearance** > **Editor**. Your edits
   will be deleted when the theme is updated.
