Getting Fancy Image Captions in Wordpress 2.6
Wordpress 2.6 comes with a feature that adds captions to images. It looks really nice in the Wordpress editor, but if you don’t have the code, it won’t look as nice when you publish your post.
The good news is, all you have to do is add the following lines of code to your theme’s CSS file.
/* Captions */
.aligncenter,
div.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
-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;
}
/* End captions */
Now your images and captions will look just as good live as they do in the editor.

Thanks a bunch for this tip off.
Now all we need is a way to put links inside the captions and it would be a killer feature!
I was curious. Is there a way in addition to adding a caption creating a space and/or adding photo credits i.e.
Calm Seas Photo Credit: Whomever
or Calm Seas/Photo Credit: Whomever
Without having to type in either “/” or “Photo Credit:” and just have that automatically inserted in?
Thank you for the tip.
It works in parts, but is not aligning at right or left as set on the “add image” wordpress backend.
Thanks, this is perfect for what I was looking for~
Here is the code for image alignment:
img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}
img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}
.alignright {
float: right;
}
.alignleft {
float: left
}
This was of good help to me. You may want to add Erica St. John’s code to the original post. Thanks.
thanks a ton, this had been bugging me for a while!
