Two different font styles within same caption?

Please provide a link to an example. We need to look at the code and style sheets on your particular site in order to be helpful.

In my tests, I can see that a HTML tag can be added to a caption. So just wrap the name in a tag that you can target via CSS.

Here is a page where I would want to have two different font styles:

https://mvuuf.org/wp/welcome/ministerial-search-committee-profiles/

You wrote: “…wrap the name in a tag that you can target via CSS.”

To do that, would I add the class selector and declaration to Appearance > Theme options > Custom CSS and then add <p class=”whatever”> to the Text tab of Edit Page?

Or would that be <span class=”whatever”>?

Yes, you are getting it.

For example:
In your caption you have this:
Alice Diebel <br> Search Committee Chair

Change it to:
<span>Alice Diebel</span><br />Search Committee Chair

Then in your CSS:

.wp-caption span {
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: bold;
}

Thank you, totaltec,

It looks like that should do it – it’ll be a few days before I’ll have the chance to try it.

After I try it and if I don’t have any issues with it, I’ll come back here and mark it resolved.

I appreciate your help!

I just went ahead and tried it.

It wouldn’t work without !important.

Also, I used em instead of px – is that OK?

Thanks for reporting back! em is just fine.

You needed the !important modifier probably because your theme has a lot of classes defined directly on the page, rather than in an attached style sheet. Glad you figured that out!
