  Hi there,

  I’m having an issue with my photo captions. Despite having adjusted my CSS to have them come through in basic text, each one is coming through italicized. My exact CSS entries for this are below:

  .wp-caption {
  font-size: 85%;
  font-style: normal;
  text-align: center;
  }

  .wp-caption-text {
  font-style: normal;
  }

  There’s nothing in here that mentions italics, so I’m a little confused as to why they’re coming out this way. Any ideas or suggested remedies?

  Thanks.

  Howdy!

  It looks like your custom CSS is being overrided by a rule from another class:

  

  Try replacing this bit of code…

  .wp-caption-text {
  font-style: normal;
  }

  … with this:

  .wp-caption .wp-caption-text {
  font-style: normal;
  }
