How to automatically have all image captions on a site use Paragraph 3 style?

Go to solution Solved by tuanphan,

Recommended Posts

Every time I add an image to my blog, I also add a caption. However, I need to manually change the caption to be center aligned and also use Paragraph 3 styling (the default settings for captions are left align and Paragraph 2).

I found a code to automatically center all captions that works:

// Auto-aligns text under images //
.image-caption p {text-align:center}

I just need to figure out what the code is to automatically use Paragraph 3 for all future image additions.

The only thing I have found online so far is writing out an entire style script for Paragraph 3 and adding in elements like font, font size, weight, color, etc. I already have all my Paragraph 3 elements set the way I want them in the SquareSpace Design settings, I just want the captions to now use that instead of rewriting all elements in manually.

Hi,

By default Paragraph 3 will have a special class sqsrte-small (or sqsrte-large). This class controls paragraph style. We can use Script code to add this class into Image Caption.

Can you share link to a page where you use Image? We can test code easier

This worked! The change is only noticeable after you Save and are no longer in Edit mode  (adding this in case someone else is wondering). Thank you!
