[Resolved] Caption text size and alignment has changed

[Jodie]

Hi guys

Hope you are all doing great!

I’ve just noticed that all my caption text has changed size and now is left aligned since I updated to the latest version of WordPress.

I didn’t have any css styling on my sites but have now searched the Support Forum here to find a solution to fix this which I did.

Leo offered this CSS in a previous support discussion.

.wp-block-image figcaption {
text-align: center;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}

Any ideas of why this changed?

Is using the CSS above the best thing to do?

As always I appreciate your help.

I’ve given you the link (no CSS added yet to this site) to show you what I mean when I say it has changed.

Hi Leo

I tested adding the snippet that Tom gave to my functions.php file and it has returned to normal.

Thanks so much.

Cheers Jodie 🙂

[Leo]

No problem 🙂

Hi Leo

I’ve tried adding this snippet to one of my sites function.php file and it shows up above the header of the site.

What have I done wrong?

Cheers

Just making sure you are adding it to child theme’s function.php?

If so maybe there is a syntax error in that file? You can test by removing all other functions in that file temporarily.

Thanks Leo
Yes to the Child Theme’s function.php
There is nothing in the file, it is blank.

[Leo]

Does it look like this at the start of the file?

[Jodie]

No it doesn’t have this at the start. It is completely blank

[Leo]

That should be the issue.

Can you download a copy from here?

[Jodie]

Can I just copy that text from my site that has that in the child theme function.php file?

[Leo]

Yes

[Jodie]

Excellent! Let me try that I will get back to you.

🙂

[Jodie]

That’s done the trick Leo

Thanks so much for your help as always.

Cheers

Jodie
