Enlarging description captions under gallery images

Recommended Posts

Site URL: http://www.scopephotonics.com

TLDR: Want to enlarge description font under gallery images on desktop.

So I'm trying to display 8 photos with descriptions underneath them. Ideally it'd be a 2x4 grid on desktop, 1x8 grid on mobile. Can't seem to get this working, so now trying Strip style and committing to 1x8 regardless. On mobile this looks great, but on desktop the text is incredibly small font compared to the giant images. I've tried messing around with settings, and even pasting in code to the Custom CSS box in Home>Design>Custom CSS, but the latter doesn't even do anything to the website. 

Any fixes, whether with css code (along with help on how to actually get custom css code working) or just settings/styles, would be amazing!!

PS: Very new to squarespace, apologize if this is a simple fix

The images on the 'applications' page - there should be 8 of them, beginning with one of someone holding a phone.

Add to Home > Design > Custom CSS

/* application page gallery caption szie */
body#collection-5f1795d34784d50d3fe7b2fd p.gallery-caption-content {
    font-size: 20px !important;
}

That worked fantastically, thank you! One followup question if you don't mind - how do you enlarge the caption width to fit the full width of the image, like normal text on Squarespace does?

Thanks so much!!
