Hi, I’m redesigning a news based website using the Enfold theme [which is totally fabulous btw – well done :-)]. On single post views I require featured images to have captions displaying attribution for the images. We include this information in the Media Library attachment as the caption. How can I set the caption to display underneath or overlaid the bottom left corner of the feature image on single post views only?
Ideally I would like to be able to provide a link to the copyright owner as appears to be a feature of this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-caption/screenshots/
I’ve installed and activated it a couple of times however and the links don’t display consistently and I can’t work out why.
If you could provide some assistance that would be great.
Cheers,
MarshaHi Marsha!
Thank you for using Enfold.
Please provide a link to the single post. We will need to inspect it. What do you mean by links not displaying consistently with the plugin? Is it working or not?
Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael,
I have reactivated the Featured Image Caption plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-caption/) and I’ve included in the Private Content the URL of a post that I have added Caption Text and a Source Attribution Text and URL to. You will see that the caption is displaying and the Source Attribution Text underneath but the link is not working.
Could it be related to the CSS I added on Yigit’s suggestion to remove the link to media file which is default on feature images (ie I don’t want feature images to link to their attachment/permanent URL).
.single .big-preview.single-big { pointer-events: none !important; }
(Separate thread here – https://kriesi.at/support/topic/remove-link-attachment-to-media-file-for-feature-images-in-posts-and-pages/)
Also, if it’s possible, can I have the Attribution Text show on the same line as the Caption TEXT?
Many thanks,
MarshaHi,
stick to threads title only please and open different threads (tickets) for different questions.
Remove this and/or all CSS code to find the code which is causing this issue. If that does not help you need to contact plugin’s author about it, as we don’t provide support for 3rd party plugins.
However, I think this Code inside of Quick CSS field could help:
.ccfic a { pointer-events: all; }Best regards,
AndyHi Andy,
Thanks for the advice. I added the Quick CSS and it resolved the issue of the attribution link (second line) linking to the photographers website however the caption text is linking to the attachment. Is there an adjustment that can be made to this CSS to only have the attribution text linking to the attribution URL?
Many thanks!
Cheers,
MarshaHi,
where do you set this link? Is it set in Enfold settings? if not please contact plugin’s author about it.
Best regards,
AndyI just posted on their WP support forum but there’s not much activity on there so I don’t have a lot of confidence. I found some info on github (https://github.com/cconover/featured-image-caption/wiki/HTML#html-in-the-caption-text) but it’s all gobbledygook to me. If they get back to me I’ll let you know. Am surprised that more people don’t need a properly functioning post thumbnail caption solution to meet copyright and attribution requirements. Wouldn’t have thought this would be such a challenge.
Cheers,
MarshaHi,
in this case I would try another plugin. You could also hire a freelance developer to make this plugin compatible with Enfold.
Best regards,
AndyCool, thanks for the heads up. I didn’t know that was available and will keep it in mind.
The plugin developer replied to me when I was sleeping last night (silly me) and said that “If you’re setting the source attribution URL, that only creates a link around the source attribution text. If you’re seeing a link also around the caption text, I’m not sure where that would be coming from.” He asked for the page but you know wordpress.org, there’s no ability to provide private content or contact the authors, so I replied to let him know it’s password protected during development and have requested a means of getting in contact with him privately so I can share the link.
Due to the time difference I am yet to hear back.
Hey!
Great! We hope that they will able to provide a solution :)
Shall we mark this thread as resolved for now?Regards,
Yigit
