 * Hello,
 * Been searching for hours right now, but cant seem to change the font size of 
   the caption text of my images.
    tried everything like adding like this etc:
 *     ```
       .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;
       }
       ```
   
 * to my style.css
    what am I doing wrong? I would like to change the fornt size,
   and make the font a little lighter (grey). [here is my page](http://www.militaryscalemodelling.com/the-basic-tools/tips-tricks/building-the-model)
 * those captions look very bad right?

 * Try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work.

 * > tried everything like adding like this etc:
 * where?
    right now, there is no trace of these styles.
 * possibly check with the theme’s seller how to edit styles.
 * and don’t forget to clear the browser cache to get the new styles to show.

 * H Aalchymyth,
 * In the style.css of my theme editor, trough appearence,
 * What do you mean there is no trace? You vant find any lead to a css file or whatsoever?
   
   Thanks for your help! And yes, I indeed cleared my cache, but thanks for the 
   tip

 * > In the style.css of my theme editor, trough appearence,
 * your theme does not seem to be calling style.css from the theme folder; (checked
   using Firefox’ web developer add-on, or try to use Firebug [http://getfirebug.com/](http://getfirebug.com/))
 * it seems to be calling a lot of stylesheets from a sub folder /css/;
 * of which /css/custom.css seems to be the one to add customisations – you possibly
   can’t use the apperance editor to edit this one, but need to use ftp [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files)
 * have you checked the docu/readme which might have come with the theme (untested)?
   
   or asked at the theme’s site?
 * as far as I can see, you are using a theme by yoothemes – please ask them directly.
