Problems with thumbnail captions

can you give us a link to your site? I can then look at your css and tell you what to change. It should be something like wp-caption p.

I think that changing the wp-caption in your style sheet should do it. You’re html code in your source file is a bit funky (i.e. different) so I’m not sure if it will work, but try this:

Open at your style.css and look for:

.wp-caption {
	border: 1px solid #ddd;
	text-align: center;
	background-color: #f3f3f3;
	padding-top: 4px;
	margin: 10px;
}

change it to:

.wp-caption {
	border: 1px solid #ddd;
	text-align: center;
	background-color: #f3f3f3;
	padding-top: 4px;
	margin: 10px;
        color:#000;
}

I am having the same problem. The theme I’m using has a light green text color for the body and it shows up the same on my Gallery captions as such no matter what I try. Light Green on White barely shows. I was able to change the font-weight to bold but that only helps very little.
Here’s what I have in the .css currently and is available to change:

.wp-caption { border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: center; background-color: #f3f3f3; padding-top: 4px ; margin: 10px; }
.wp-caption img { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0 none; }
.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text { font-weight: bold; font-size: 11px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0 4px 5px; margin: 0; }

I have tried adding in color: #000; to each of these id’s with no results, font-color doesn’t work either. You can see my font-weight addition there and that did work however. I also tried going into the html page editor and wrapping the text in question below my images with <font color=”black”>CAPTION HERE</font>, nothing.

Can’t seem to find a solution for this on the theme makers site or here so any help would be appreciated because apparently I’m not the only one having this issue. I’m going to keep trying to tweak the .css so if I find my own solution I will post it.

Thanks for any help on this issue!
