Lightbox Gallery Captions Not Showing

All I need is to simply have access to the image Caption using Lightbox with PhotoSwipe. But it seems the masonry widget does not allow access to this info from any plugin.

Thanks

Hello,

I’m checking in on this after updating to ALL your recent updates running Enfold 4.7.4. At the link below, I show another set of images documenting how when uploading images to the masonry gallery, I enter the captions in the field provided by Enfold for captions. When I view the masonry gallery, the captions are not displayed, only the title is displayed.

See documentation:

From a user who buys the theme and uses this masonry gallery and enters captions, this would be incredibly frustrating. Why do you continue to provide a field for captions if they don’t display? If you don’t plan to fix it, please remove it or make it pull the image title which is what it’s doing now.

This continues to support my claim above that this was changed sometime 4 or 5 versions ago breaking all websites done previously.

I hope I can help you fix this by showing you this problem for any new Enfold user.

Thanks

I understand all this, thank you. By “core feature” what do you mean? WordPress core or Enfold core? Also, please point me to where I can find any tutorial or information about this problem if I was a new user. I know how to fix it now and I’m a little more advanced them other users. Do you want all new users to go looking for this thread because the theme doesn’t work correctly?

There is no info here at all about this caption issue:

And in this tutorial which you recommend, has NOTHING about captioning your images and how to make sure you do it right. The video talks about how amazing the gallery is for your photography, and completely misses one of the biggest features for photographers.

I’m just wondering if this is something that users will find misleading and frustrating. As a new user who adds a new gallery, I see the theme show me nice inputs under the images that say “Image Caption.” So you’re telling me as a new user once this doesn’t work I have to go looking all over the internet for why it doesn’t work?

With such an important feature, is it not important to fix?

Thanks,
Leyden

Thank you Günter for adding this to the list of feature requests and bug fixes.

It seems to me that all the replies here on how to fix it and how there is nothing wrong with it misses the point to a major part of Enfold users who are not web developers. As they use the gallery and enter captions into the field that says they should enter a caption and then they don’t work. It’s a major problem.

Another point I would make as I made before, we launched many websites for clients using Enfold where this field worked just fine and it even used the captions input from the images. IT WAS CHANGED at some point and ALL our client sites were broken. We had to go through everything and change the caption info to the Title field in the image.

If this had always worked in the current way, we would not have launched so many websites using that field to enter captions or using the caption field from the images.

I hope this gets fixed. Thank you.
