Greyish border around captioned image

[wSb1gA3hYC]

I'm using Prose Child theme. I notice that I get a greyish border when I add a caption to an image.

I would like a white background and, if possible, I would like to change the font - embolden it perhaps.

I'm a newbie and was hoping there might be a plug-in for this - at least for the border color change. If there is no plug-in is there an easy way for a someone who isn't familiar with code to change it?

In your CSS:

.wp-caption {     <- find this block
     background: transparent;     <- change this line
     font-weight: bold;     <- add this line
}

Thank you!!! for the code, where exactly do I put this .... if I read it correctly .... I am look for ".wp-caption" and replace whatever exists after "background:" with "transparent", etc.

But where do I look for the CSS?

In your Dashboard, go to Appearance > Editor. The CSS file should be the first one to load.

Thank you, I'll give it a try!

I made the changes as you suggested but I see no change at all. I have cleared the cache and updated as well. Here's what it looks like:
}

.wp-caption {
background: transparent;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;

Any suggestions?

[Lauren @ OnceCoupled]

It's still a caching issue. The updates have not propagated. A minified CSS file is displaying the old CSS.

I think what you are saying is that even though I have cleared the cache on my site and browsers, I will still not see the change for some time to come? Is this true?

If so, about how long will it take before I can actually see a change has been made?

And, thank you for your help with this question!

[Lauren @ OnceCoupled]

I don't know when it will come through as I don't know anything about your site's cache. I'm just saying that it is a caching issue, despite having cleared it. You may want to look into other ways to do a refresh.

🙂

Best,
Lauren
