# WordPress gallery caption editing

 * I would like to increase the size of the font for the captions in one gallery,
   this particular test gallery, but have the option to do this for any gallery.
   I don’t want it to be global, so I’m thinking I could use custom CSS, for the
   block but don’t know how to do this. Can anyone help or make a suggestion to 
   edit? Thanks in advance to all.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-gallery-caption-editing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I would recommend making a block style variation that applies your custom caption
   styles: [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/features/block-style-variations/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/features/block-style-variations/)
 * Then, apply that variation to this specific Gallery block (and any others you
   might want to use it for later).

 * Yeh, I don’t know how to do this, and would rather a CSS edit I could add to 
   Customizer.

 * If you prefer OG ways, you can use a page’s unique body class attribute such 
   as `page-id-7140` to apply custom caption CSS only to that specific page. For
   example:
 *     ```
       .page-id-7140 .wp-block-gallery.has-nested-images figure.wp-block-image figcaption {
           font-size: 16px;
       }
       ```
