Image Caption not displayed
10 replies · Started by Philipp on June 5, 2017
When I am going to set post thumbnail meta in media manager for a blog entry as shown here, it will not be displayed on the frontend. This is different for images which I embed directly in the content as can be seen here (grey small font below images). Am I doing something wrong or is it possible to update the inc/template-tags.php file of my child theme?
Hi there,
Unfortunately the default WordPress Featured Image only grabs an image – no caption.
You could try this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-caption/
Hi Leo
Thank you for your feedback with suggestion.
Unfortunately, it seems this plugin is not working out of the box with GeneratePress. There is a checkbox “Automatically add the caption to the featured image” which I enabled. However, caption does not appear. I am going to try the additional provided short code option. Will let you know if it works.
Thanks,
Philipp

I am unable to view captions as well. Help?
Captions for featured images? Or within your content?
Hey, captions for featured images. What do you mean within my content? I would like a caption to appear below photos.
Thank you!
Can you link us to the page in question?
Feel free to start a new topic so you can use the private URL field as well :)
I am still unable to see image captions.
I will start a new thread.
Thanks!
