Title: Image caption padding Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Image caption padding * [ilushkin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilushkin/) * (@ilushkin) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-padding/) * Somehow adding image captions/descriptions radically moves images to the right. * Has to do something with the padding, i assume. Is anyone familiar with the theme can point out which css line to modify. * example: * [http://bit.ly/101NBrQ](http://bit.ly/101NBrQ) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [James Richman UK](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesrichmanuk/) * (@jamesrichmanuk) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-padding/#post-3708783) * Have you managed to solve this mate? * Thread Starter [ilushkin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilushkin/) * (@ilushkin) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-padding/#post-3708851) * > Have you managed to solve this mate? * nope… did to get a chance to look at it yet… * [afzaal1985](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afzaal1985/) * (@afzaal1985) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-padding/#post-3708864) * A quick fix will move both the image and text back to the left hand side of the page. To do this go to line 1556 in the style.css file and remove the following line: * ``` text-align: center; ``` * If you want the image to move left but the text to still be on the right then still remove the above line but then add it to line 1574. So now the code between 1569 and 1574 should be: * ``` .wp-caption p.wp-caption-text { font-size: 11px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0 4px 5px; margin: 0; text-align: center; } ``` * Let me know if you need anything else. * Afzaal * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-padding/#post-3708865) * Just chiming in: P2 is an active theme and may get updated. To ensure that your changes do not get lost you may want to create a child theme and make your CSS modifications there. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * The directory on that website is using a different name then P2 but the `Theme Name:` tag has been left as is. If you want to make changes directly to P2’s ` style.css` file like that then you may want to change the `Theme Name:` tag as well. * Thread Starter [ilushkin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilushkin/) * (@ilushkin) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-caption-padding/#post-3708868) * > A quick fix will move both the image and text back to the left hand side of > the page.

Please re-check and make sure you import the original stylesheet from the main theme folder to the stylesheet in your child folder.
