Overriding hard-coded image caption widths in WordPress feeds

[rosefox]

This is extremely obscure, but in case it's been bugging anyone else who uses their reading page to read RSS feeds of WordPress blogs and occasionally suddenly has a page that's 10 million miles wide:

Add this to the CSS definitions section of your custom style.

.wp-caption {
max-width: 600px !important;
}

Problem solved.

Thanks for adding this! I hadn't been following any WordPress feeds previously, but this reminded me I could and it's even nicer to preemptively avoid a problem as well!

OH, thank you!!!!

(Now I just need a way to fix the formatting of tumblr posts that come in through RSS feeds. But tumblr posts don't even look readable on tumblr, so that's probably a lost cause.)

Thank you so much for this. I’m not familiar with WP, and this makes my feed page less wonky.
