How to get wp-caption working in Wordpress 2.6So I have finally updated my blog to Wordpress 2.6 and I wanted to try its new features. Just before this new release, I was looking for a plugin that can caption images. It’s a pretty neat feature of wordpress 2.6. So I went ahead and tried. What happened was that there was no style. It didn’t look good. I went ahead and took a look at my page’s source and tried to edit CSS but it didn’t work.
But yesterday, I found this codex article at wordpress dot org. It has fixed the problem. Here is the code block that you need to in order for it to work with style;
.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
/* optional rounded corners for browsers that support it */
-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;
}
Of course you can edit this as you want to fit to your custom wordpress theme. I have changed couple of things and here is how it looks;

YO might want to add text-align:center to the last one as some themes have the text justified which makes it align to the left.
Thank you very much. I’ve also copy&pasted the CSS code.
Thank you for this information.
Thanks a lot, copy&paste and minor mods and, lots of time saved!
Thanks. Wondering why this isn’t inluded in Wordpress since it is used. Strange. Anyway, just copy and paste and now it’s on the site.
Thank you, good information

Great! Now this feature works in my bloglauco.com.
However, I don’t understand why images with captions do not center in the page. This works when I set align LEFT or RIGHT, but not CENTER. Strange, isn’t it? Anybody could help me please?
Example: take a look at this post from my blog:

Hey, I could fix the code. It’s OK now. Thanks.
