    Currently you can only show image captions overlayed on the thumbnails. I’m using small thumbnails so this doesn’t work because there is too little space. Is it possible to show a caption at the bottom of an image when you open the lightbox slidehsow?

    Thanks for the feedback. Your ideas are important to me.

    I will try to add this feature to the next version of the plugin.

    That would be awesome, thanks! Especially if it is possible to disable the caption in the gallery and enable it only in lightbox.

    In version 1.1.3 this is now possible. I added settings to the Lightbox Tab (Show Item Caption, Font Size and Font Color)

    Wow amazing! It works great thanks! One thing though, could you make the caption text wrap/responsive? When I view long captions on my smartphone I only see the last words as the first part disappears from the screen :).

    I have plans to use the Title/Alternative Text and Description/Caption and make a box that will display this information. Now this is just a short information (as Alternative Text).

    Try version 1.1.4, I made some corrections to make caption text look better on mobile devices

    Having this feature is really a great addition to a wonderful plugin. Just an objection regarding its position on the backoffice, this is kind of hidden, very low on the lightbox tab while option for thumbs caption is really visible on top. If you put them together it will be much easier and you will probably avoid questions on the support page ??
    Another nice option would be alignment or central by default. I could alter this with CSS but its not the most user friendly way
    Best and keep up the good work
    ps: i might come with a quick question on support page cause sometimes when i load a page thumbs to not display, you can see only the captions. But not always, strange. If you have a quick workaround just let me know. Many thanks again

    I think about the situation with the captions for the photo and probably everything will be fine.??

    when a block (gallery) is published, it becomes a static block, for the display of which nothing is needed (no additional calls to the database). Therefore, it is very strange, maybe these are problems with the server. Send me link to gallery page.

    Hello,

    I would like to show the description/caption BELOW the image when the lightbox is open. Could you please advise?

    Thank you very much and kind regards!
