    Is there a way to add captions below the featured image on a single post page?

    Hi jenerdman!

    What kind of Blog Style do you have for your single post page?

    Regards,

    Single post style with big preview image. You can see a sample page here: http://yourmiweddingvenue.com/stand-out-in-the-wedding-industry/

    Hey!

    Open up enfold/includes/loop-page.php and replace

    
<?php if($slider->slidecount) echo $slider->display(); ?>

    with

    
<?php 
if($slider->slidecount) echo $slider->display(); 
$description = get_post_field('post_content', get_post_thumbnail_id());
echo $description;
?>

    You can use the “Description” field on the image attachment editor page (Media > Library > Edit) to save a description text.

    Cheers!

    Hey!

    If you aren’t using 2.4.2 make sure to update so that you have the most recent version of the theme files and code.

    Best regards,

    Hi!

    Edit includes > loop-index.php, find this code:

    if($slider) $slider = '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$slider.'</a>';
			if($slider) echo '<div class="big-preview '.$blog_style.'">'.$slider.'</div>';

    Below, add Dude’s code:

    $description = get_post_field('post_content', get_post_thumbnail_id());
			echo $description;

    Edit the images on Media > Library > Edit and put the caption on the Description field of the image.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    excellent. That worked. I added css styling to it:

    $description = get_post_field('post_content', get_post_thumbnail_id());
echo '<div class="featured-caption">' .$description.'</div>';

    Is that correct?

    Yep, that looks correct.
