How to change the border on image thumbnails in a Wordpress gallery

lisa Lisa, 9th June 2010

Just a quick little "tutorial"/pointer for anyone looking to change the thickness, style or colour of the border of a thumbnail in a Wordpress gallery....

The details of the thumbnails can be found in wp-includes/media.php. Here you'll find:

#{$selector} {
margin: auto;
}


#{$selector} .gallery-item {
float: {$float};
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: {$itemwidth}%;
}


#{$selector} img {
border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}


#{$selector} .gallery-caption {
margin-left: 0;
}

Simply change "border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;" to whatever you want it to be!

If you're not familiar with updating code or FTP'ing files to a server, you'll need to ask your web developer to do it for you.

I've just done it for SarahViolin.com
