# Image Caption – Null?

 * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-null/)
 * I notice if I don’t add an image caption, it gets put in as “null” by my picture.
   Aside from editing every image that I add and removing that each time, is there
   any other way to do it?
 * Also, if I want to change the size/font of the caption text, what is the CSS 
   class name I would use to do that?
 * Thanks

 * Does that happen when inserting an image or when editing it?
 * The class is `.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text`

 * Is there a way to stop WP from adding captions all together, while keeping the
   alt tag? (for valid XHTML). We have no use for image captions, but since WP 2.6
   we have to remove the caption code everytime and move the image float class inside
   the <img> tag (since the new system puts it in the caption tag). I noticed there
   are hooks to completely disable the caption creation, but nobody has made this
   into a plugin yet (and my PHP is way too rusty to do it myself).
 * Would appreciate if this would be made into a new plugin or made optional in 
   a new version of WordPress. Thanks.
 * **Edit:** Sorry, [found it here](http://katzwebdesign.wordpress.com/2008/07/21/how-to-turn-off-captions-in-wordpress-26/)

 * Addendum 2: This doesn’t seem to work, see more on this topic in [this support topic](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/190238).
