How do I get a caption to show under an image in lightbox view? I just can’t seem to find how to do this. Even better – is there a way to add an icon under an image which only shows the caption on hover/when you click? Thankyou!
Hey carendavis!
You need to add a title / alt text to the image to get the lightbox caption to display.

Hey, so all my images have titles, I have added alt text to the first couple in the portfolio to test – and none are showing up in lightbox. Any ideas why? THankyou!
Hi!
Please go to Media > Library, edit your image and add titles you would like to show in “description” field
Cheers!

Thanks Yigit, this is what I have done, but it still does not seem to work!
Hey!
Do you mind creating a temporary admin login and posting it here privately?

Yigit
Sure.
Any further thoughts on this one? Can you see what is going on by loggin in?
Hey!
Can you please try re-updating the theme via FTP and overwrite all files – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/?
There seems to be issue with JS files and re-updating should fix it. Title shows up totally fine on my local installation
Cheers!

Ok I’ll try that now…
Hey Yigit, I have reinstalled via FTP and this doesn’t seem to have resolved it? Still not showing at my end. Have tried a couple different browsers too just in case.
Hmmm.. interestingly, I am just testing a Masonry Gallery and the image captions show up fine in there. Still nothing when using portfolio grid though.
I have posted in my other support thread about something related to this – so I will refer you there instead – https://kriesi.at/support/topic/featured-image-opens-in-lightbox/
