So I have finally updated my blog to Wordpress 2.6 and I wanted to try its new features.  Just before this new release, I was looking for a plugin that can caption images. It’s a pretty neat feature of wordpress 2.6.  So I went ahead and tried. What happened was that there was no style. It didn’t look good. I went ahead and took a look at my page’s source and tried to edit  CSS but it didn’t work.

But yesterday,  I found this codex article at wordpress dot org. It has fixed the problem. Here is the code block that you need to in order for it to work with style;


.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
/* optional rounded corners for browsers that support it */
-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;
}

Of course you can edit this as you want to fit to your custom wordpress theme. I have changed couple of things and here is how it looks;
