How can I change gallery caption color only?

[Birchlight]

I have changed the background of my gallery pages using the Custom Post Background plugin, but now the thumbnail captions are a little hard to read (see http://www.wellofstars.com/Blog/oil-paintings/). How can I change the text color on the captions without changing the main blog text color?

In Suffusion Options > Back-End > Custom Includes > Custom Styles put

Code: Select all

.gallery-caption {color:#ffffff;}


Change the ffffff to the appropriate hex number for the colour that you want

Thank you so much, Colin! Someday I'll get the hang of this, but in the meanwhile it's so heartening when someone helps!

Oh dear, I've been working so hard on the Gallery pages I didn't notice that the text on the right sidebar widgets of the main Blog page http://www.wellofstars.com/Blog/ has changed to the same color as the thumbnail captions. I can't find anything in Typography to change it back. Does it need another bit of code to get it legible again, without changing the thumbnail caption color?

You will need some more custom css, give this a try

Code: Select all

#sidebar a, #sidebar-2 a, #sidebar-container a {color:#ffffff;}
#sidebar a:visited, #sidebar-2 a:visited, #sidebar-container a:visited {color:#ffffff;}

Thank you again Colin! I can't tell you how happy it makes me both to have the answer and to feel there's someone supportive out there. Makes me believe that if I keep at it, I may even make sense of it all (well, some of it).
