# remove image caption space?

 * I am hoping there is some way to reduce or remover the caption space after an
   image.
    In this example below…
 * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/LTc4NoK)
 * I have a column for the image and the text quote next to it. I would like the
   following paragraph to be in left align below the image, but this adds considerable
   unnecessary space. But leaving it in the text column block leaves space to the
   left of the text.
 * Is there some way to have an image with 0 caption space or at least greatly reduced
   space?
 * Thank you

 * Thanks.

 * I have changed my design a bit to deal with the space. So now the issue may be
   the space after the text in the text column, as there is a black line of space
   before the end of the block.
 * But since I so rarely use image captions with my images, it would still be would
   be good to know how to remove the space set aside for the caption.

 * You can see there’s no space set for the caption on this image. [](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/ZOg8tFH.png?ssl=1)
   
   though there is padding below the column block in which the image is housed [](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/Kv5TOOb.png?ssl=1)

 * Yes, thank you.
 * I can see all of that. I do not see or know how to GET RID of the padding.

 * Okay, I was able to locate where you were in Elements (I had been in editing 
   mode and was seeing only Java Script stuff I did not understand.)
 * The “flex-basis:33.33%” you indicate in both instances, only changed the size
   of the photo, it has no effect on the depth of the block.
 * The next line, “flex-basis:175%” is what highlights the empty space you indicate
   in your second example. But changing that only changes the width of the column;
   it has no effect on the DEPTH of the row.
 * But it does seem to indicate that the space is being caused by the inherent space
   after the paragraph.
 * If that space could be reduced to 0 it may solve my problem.
 * But, how can I do that to this single paragraph, rather than changing the space
   for all paragraphs on the page or website?
 * All over the internet people ask this same question, how to reduce spacing above
   or below ONE SINGLE PARAGRPAH, rather than for ALL paragraphs?
 * There are plenty of answers about adding spacing by using a nonbreaking space,
   etc. If someone asks about reducing spacing however, they always get an answer
   about making a universal change to every paragraph in the website/page/post.
 * I would assume one can go into the code editor and put some sort of simple html
   like “line spacing: 0px” inside the <p.’s. But I do not know html well enough
   to know the correct syntax or where to put it in the code.

 * Do not edit WP core code! Use “Additional CSS” in the customizer to modify or
   extend the CSS for these elements.

 * Oh. Okay. So how to I use Additional CSS to reduce space after one specific paragraph?
 * Or does that only allow me to make a universal change to every paragraph?

 * Assign a particular class to that paragraph block. Classes can be assigned on
   the right, under “Advanced”. Then, add CSS that targets that class.
