# Image caption size

 * I would like to increase the size of the captions below static images (NOT sliders).
   Is there a sample snippet that I can use in the custom CSS box for this?

 * Do you mean the 3 FP images? If so, try [this](http://www.themesandco.com/snippet/change-text-appearance-featured-pages-heading-text-button/)

 * Thanks for the reply, but that’s not what I’m trying to change. I am trying to
   change the image caption for a static image in a page. It is not online yet; 
   just in my computer for development at this time.
 * **Here is the div for the image and caption:**
 *     ```
       <div id="attachment_14" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://127.0.0.1/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TV_untitled-0004-X2.jpg" class="grouped_elements" rel="tc-fancybox-group25" title="Furniture and Built-In Pieces" rel="lightbox-0">
   
       <img class="size-large wp-image-14" alt="TV_untitled-0004-X2" src="http://127.0.0.1/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TV_untitled-0004-X2-1024x848.jpg" width="1024" height="848" /></a>
   
       <p class="wp-caption-text">This is an entertainment center that was custom made for a customer. Don’t be fooled by cheaper items sold by most stores. With reasonable care, our hand crafted pieces will be treasured by generations to come.</p></div>
       ```
   
 * **The only reference I see in all the css pages referenced is in themes/customizr/
   inc/css/blue.css – here is the reference in that stylesheet: **
 *     ```
       .wp-caption .wp-caption-text,
       .gallery-caption,
       .entry-caption {
         font-style: italic;
         font-size: 12px;
         font-size: 0.7rem;
         line-height: 1.3em;
         color: #757575;
       }
       ```
   
 * **Here is what I put into the Customizr css box to try and override that style(
   I included everything in the custom css box; all the other markup works as expected)(
   Obviously the 16 px that I put in is way too big but I always start with a value
   that will make it real obvious whether I am changing the right thing or not):**
 *     ```
       h1 {
       font: arial;
       font-size: 3em;
       }
       .wp-caption-text {
       font-size: 16px;
       }
       .page h1.format-icon:before {
       content: none;
       }
       ```

 * You need to use CSS that is at least as specific as the existing CSS – so in 
   this case, try:
 *     ```
       .wp-caption .wp-caption-text {
   
       ...
       ```

 * Doh. Of course. I was thinking I was looking at a group of classes, did not notice
   the absence of a comma, making it a descendant selector.
 * Thanks for bailing me out!

 * LOL – those tiny syntax things can definitely wreak CSS havoc (not to mention
   driving one crazy)!

 * Absolutely! I stared at this for a long time before finally giving up. Kinda 
   like Cardinals batters tonight against Red Sox pitchers <sigh>.
 * Go Cards!
