    Hello, I would like my thumbnail captions to run wider than my thumbnail width. Currently I can't do this, as the caption width is defined by the image width.

    Here's a screenshot of I am trying to do.

    Is it possible somehow? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

      Dear @billykioso

      This is for sure possible with some CSS Added within 'Lay Options - Custom CSS & HTML"

      Are you able to post a link to your website with example thumbnails? & i will do my best to give you some code relating to your situation :)

      Best wishes
      Richard

          Dear @billykioso

          Not the most beautiful solution, but let me know if it works for you! :

          .lay-textformat-parent.below-image {
              width: 200%;
              margin-left: -50%;
          }
          
          

          You can change the values to suit your needs - also: this will apply across the whole page - you may wish to be more specific with what you target

          Best wishes & have a wonderful day
          Richard

            @Richard-K said in Thumbnail caption wider than thumbnail?:

            .lay-textformat-parent.below-image {
            width: 200%;
            margin-left: -50%;
            }

            I don't entirely understand how it works, but I've gone for:
            width: 300%
            margin-left: -100%
            ...which seems to work just fine!

            Thank you!

            I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
            💿 Email me here: 💿
            info@laytheme.com

            Before you post:
            1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
            2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
            3. Disable all Plugins
            4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

            This often solves issues you might run into

            When you post:
            1. Post a link to where the problem is
            2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
            3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
