Problems with captions and text wrap

  • Hello,

    While I generally love the Evolve theme, the captions for images and the text wrap for them drive me nuts.

    First, how do I change the font size of the captions (this is captions for images in posts)? As is, the caption text is larger than the font of the text in the post. I’ve looked at the page source to see what style I should be tweaking and it seems to indicate it should be <p class=”wp-caption-text”> but there does not seem to be a px size for that in the style.css file. I’ve looked for anything labeled caption and changed those to 11px but no go, still larger than the text of the post.

    The other big annoyance is the text wrap bring interfered with whenever there is heading of any level. The text wrap works fine with images and normal text but put any sort of heading in there and BWWOOONG! a huge gaping hole and the heading is dropped below the bottom of the caption. This is especially annoying when there is a long caption—see above, with the extra large font, which makes for extra long captions, which makes for extra large gaps when there’s a heading.

    If it’s not defined in the style.css file, where should I be looking?

    Oh, I nearly forgot. Is there an easy way to handle this in the customize typography section of the theme? It seems to have settings available for page headings, headings, post texts, widgets and more but nothing that I can see for customizing the captions.

    Thanks in advance, this is driving me crazy.

    Hello, I created a private page on my site just to demonstrate the issues, especially the text-wrapping issues. The captions are self-evident in terms of caption font-size vs body-text font-size.

    Please head here https://ispyradio.com/graphic-design-issues/ and when it asks, use “help” (all lowercase, no quotes) as the password. I’ve put screenshots within the text to further explain/demonstrate the issues.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in! if you wish to reduce the font size of caption to 11px, so you can add the following code under Appearance > Theme Options > Custom Css: 

    .wp-caption .wp-caption-text {
    font-size: 11px !important;
}

    In regard to the heading sizes, so you can change that by going to Appearance > Theme Options > Custom Css.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks.

    Okay, I’ll give those text-size changes a try. What about the text wrapping issues? Or are those issues still trying to be solved? I’d seen someone else with a similar issues with this theme, so I’m guessing this is an on-going issue?

    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    If you wish to achieve something like this: https://prntscr.com/896zy2, in order to justify the text, you can add the following code under the custom CSS field:

    #wrapper p {
    text-align: justify;
}

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks.
