Centering the text in your captions

Hi All, I have been struggling trying to get the captions for my pictures centered. In the previews it has been centered but when I look at the published post the text is always left justified. I have been looking for something in the discussions with no luck.

I found a solution this morning. There is a bit of code you can add to the bottom of your styles.css file. Try this if you have this problem.

Go into Build My Website > Dashboard.

Go into Appearance > Editor

On the right hand side you will see the list of all the php files. Scroll to the very bottom of the list and you will find a Styles section. It should look similar to:

Styles

Stylesheet

(style.css)

Click on Stylesheet and copy and paste the block of code at the end of the post into the very bottom and click update file. It doesn't matter where you put the code in the css file but I put it at the bottom so I can find it if need to go back to it. I believe the code is tweakable but for me it looks just fine. The text is now centered and the font is more distinguishable from the rest of the content's text:

.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;

}
