Hi

I am using the Avada theme which allows you to have multiple featured images on the blog page (list) and I have used your plugin as we really want to show captions underneat the featured images.

I have found that by using your plugin it only shows the caption for featured image No 1… you can see this if you look at the link I sent on the post for 11/10/24 which has 4 featured images.

How can I get it to show the captions for all featured images, I have no other way of doing this with the theme that I have.

Thank you

I’m getting the following errors, any idea how to correct?

PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “ID” on int in /var/www/wp/wp-content/plugins/featured-image-caption/classes/Caption.php on line 39′

Hello @someguy9,

please update www.ads-software.com’s “Tested up to:”-tag, because there is a warning box “This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.” on top of your plugin’s site.

In the changelog of your latest update you write “Tested up to WordPress 6.4.” – so you should reflect that in the tag, too, to get rid of this warning.

Greetings and thank you for your work,

The HTML <small> tag worked for me in the featured image caption field. Now it is stripped when saving. Why?

Hello how are you?

I’d like to add some styles to Caption on featured image. nothing too hard to do. Things like padding on top. I add this code on my functions to the caption could appear on my single posts.

im trying to use this CSS blow to edit but is not working for me.

thanks

.featured-image .wp-caption-text {

padding: 10px;

max-width: 770px;

margin: auto;

line-height: 1.4em;

}

I’ve tried everything I can think of but cannot get a caption to display with the Divi theme. Any suggestions?

I can’t get any text under Images from the Soledad theme.

Dear Sirs,

I installed the theme Newscard, and after that, my caption disappeared, so I activated the FSM Custom Featured Image Caption plugin I installed before, nothing happened.

Then I found your plugin, and installed it, and I checked both the boxes of “automatically add the caption to the featured image, and add a container div to the caption html,in the setting. Nothing happened, the front page photo still lost the caption. Inside all articles, photos have captions, but all front page photos lost the caption. This is my site, truereport.hk

If I add a caption text on a image in Media liberary.

https://ibb.co/4Fbx5sR
The left image is from the from the admin area where I create new posts.
The right image is from the Media liberary when I click at the image.

Example the name of the photographer.
In my example name: Bob Bridget

I use the Featured Image Caption plugin at my site.

How I can automatic get the Caption text from the image file into the Caption field at the Featured Image Caption ?

Then I can add the Caption text at the image when I upload it, and dont have to think more the photographers name.
When I use the image, the name automatic came under the image in the post, because of the Featured Image Caption plugin.

I am trying to link the source for my thumbnail pictures. I tried to use the Featured Image Caption Plug-In and it didn’t work. I can now only see the link if I place the thumbnail picture inside the text as “block”. As I don’t won’t the picture to be shown twice I am not sure how to solve the problem.
My theme shows the thumbnail pictures in the header and I would like to find a solution where the caption is also placed there.

This occurs only on Mac’s, so far. When someone looks at their posts, under the Related Articles, it falsely shows the author as the photo attribution for other authors’ posts. Tested on Safari and Brave on macOS Big Sur 11.6.1.
These are older posts, mostly and don’t have an attribution added yet.

I use the Featured-image-caption plugin.
If I use a single line, ex. “PHOTO: Private” then it works fine.
Se att.files ex1.

But if I want to use two lines ex2
“PHOTO: Private”
The name of the person at the photo
Se att.files ex2.

Ive tested this plugin a number of times and it does not behave well with Divi or Elementor. Any work arounds in place?

Hi there!

I am developing a new website using DIVI Theme for a client with WP Multisite setup and they would like to display caption as an overlay on a single post page. I installed your plugin, but nothing happens.

So, I was wondering if your plugin works with DIVI on MU network environment or how would I make it work?

Thanks, Danijel

Hi

when insert an “image from url link” it doesn’t load or change the existing featured image in the back end.

thanks

Perfect for what I needed but didn’t work with Elementor Pro straight out of the box with their Theme Builder nor the Theme (I’m using the Hello-Elementor Theme, you can put the “function” call (not the shortcode) inside the Hello Theme, in the files located in the Template Assets folder, archive.php, header.php and so on, there is another thread here where someone got it working with Divi, that function call worked for me).

After some searches, however, I found “Elementor Custom Skin” plugin (free version does the job), which allows you to build custom post/archive loop templates within the Elementor page builder. Use the Shortcode Widget to call the Plugin Caption, the Featured Image Widget in the same column/row and it all works as it should.

Create an archive template within the Theme Builder of Elementor Pro, which will now allow you to pick the “custom” option from the “Skin” dropdown within the Posts or Archive Posts Widget, no child theme necessary and it works sweet, allowing me to use all the cool Elementor designy things they have ??

I also added a line of jQuery, adding the “rel” attribute on the link. To me, that should be an option in the plugin itself but isn’t hard to have 1 line of script that will jam it in there.

$('.ccfic-source a').attr('rel','nofollow noopener noreferrer');

Hope it helps someone else out there ??

The featured image field for post icons (i.e. on Posts page) will only handle a few characters correctly. When the text breaks for the next line each new line overwrites the previous line, creating an unreadable mess. br tags are not honored in formatting the icon text, but are honored in the featured image caption.

What can we do to fix this?

Theme: Apostrophe 2 (child theme)
This icon text problem seems to be common to many themes.

I am running WordPress 5.3.2 | PHP 7.3.14 | LiteSpeed | MySQL 10.3.22-MariaDB Plugin version: Version: 0.8.9.

Hello experts,
I installed this plugin to insert pictorial sources to my featured images. But it works only partially the way I want it to.

If you look here: https://bibelwelt.de/?s=jericho

On a smartphone (in a single-column display) the caption is shown under the picture as it should be.

But on a PC desktop (in a two-columned display) the caption goes away from the picture and is shown in the right upper side above the text.

Is there a way to link the caption tightly to the picture (may-be even by putting it vertical to the right side of the picture itself)?

Thank you for every idea you might provide for me!
Helmut

Hello, do you have plans to make your plugin compatible with WordPress 5.2.x and Gutenberg?

I hope so!
Thanks

I’ve downloaded, installed and activated the Featured Image Caption plug-in. I’ve inputted captions on the existing posts. They show up in the caption fields, but not on the actual page when I save and return to the post. Any thoughts?

Hi,
This plugin is wonderful. So needed to properly give credit where credit is due for photographers and other media sources. Thank you.

Is there any update on how we could pull the data from the Media Library caption instead of a second entry on the Post page?

Thank you!

Hi. My new posts are displaying duplicate content. It seems to be something to do with your plugin as the dupe content is within the <div class=”featured_image_caption> tag. You can see it on the sample page in the link. Obviously this is serious so I tried deleting your plugin but the issue remained. (I disabled all plugins and it still happens).

Hi,
I have just installed this plugin and I have a problem with there being a link on the Caption text. How can I remove this? There seems to be a link around the whole Featured Image Div including the Caption Div. Should the Featured Image link not be closed before the Caption Div is inserted?

Here is the html around the Featured image.

<div class="featured-image">
       <a href="https://kirsten.osa-family.me/my-travels" rel="bookmark"><img width="1000" height="576" src="https://kirsten.osa-family.me/wp-content/uploads/travel/birding/Yellowstone/090-2017-08-30-07-44-47-1000x576.jpg" class="attachment-nisarg-full-width size-nisarg-full-width wp-post-image" alt="" />
     <div class="ccfic"><span class="ccfic-text">Castle Geyser in Yellowstone national Park</span> <span class="ccfic-source"><a href="https://kirsten.osa-family.me/yellowstone-5">Yellowstone Eclipse Tour #5 </a></span></div>
       </a>         
 </div>

How can I remove this link?

I had Featured Image Caption installed successfully but when I updated WordPress to 5.1.1 it brought down my site. After installing all other plugins and successfully activating, I narrowed it down to this one. If I try to load featured-image-caption from a backup of the plugins folder to the active plugins, it brings down the site entirely. It installed properly from the plugin directory but cannot be activated. Receiving the following error: “PHP version 5.4.45 is unsupported by Featured Image Caption, must be version 5.3 or newer.” Seems strange that it is looking for PHP 5.3 or newer but not 5.4.45. Any help on this would be appreciated.

It doesn’t work with wordpress v. 4.9.9. Internal error code 500
Have you tested it?

I’ve read the help section for this plugin, and then even the “if you’re still confused” section was still confusing to me ha…

I see that I can add italics to each caption individually within a post, but I’m wanting to add css code so that this is done automatically.

What I’d like to have is italics, and NO link happening on the actual caption text itself.

Thank you!

I have designed a workflow where I write draft posts offline in a basic text editor. This file is then imported into WordPress with WP-CLI. My bash script which handles the import populates WordPress fields from lines in the text file:

post_title:
post_excerpt:
featured_image_filename:
caption_text:
source_text:

My code easily imported the media file and its captions with a “wp media import” call, but it took me a while to figure out how to automate the data entry of the Featured Image Caption fields at the same time. (These caption fields don’t “inherit” the WordPress media library fields — see for example a related question: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/using-a-post-meta-field/.)

The plugin stores the data – an array with four fields – as a serialized string, so accessing the data is not as simple as with the above text fields; the data must be unserialized, updated, and serialized again. This can be done with the unserialize() and serialize() PHP functions, but there is a simpler way now.

WP-CLI has recently, as of version 1.4.0 (October 2017), added the “pluck” and “patch” options to read and write serialized data in options and meta. I use these to fill the Featured Image Caption fields like this:

# CC Featured Image Caption: initialize metadata
$ wp post meta add [post ID] _cc_featured_image_caption '{"caption_text":"","source_text":"","source_url":"","new_window":true}' --format=json

# CC Featured Image Caption: caption text
$ wp post meta patch insert [post ID] _cc_featured_image_caption caption_text "Caption for featured image"

# CC Featured Image Caption: source text
$ wp post meta patch insert [post ID] _cc_featured_image_caption source_text "Source text for featured image"

After writing, the “wp post meta pluck” command can be used to read the values.

With this method it is possible, for example, to copy caption text from the WordPress fields to the plugin fields.

Hi,
I’m searchin for a way to put CSS code in my site.
There’s a space in my theme’s settings to put this CSS code.
But what selector i’ll have to use to target font,size and italic of the caption ?
I tried everything, but i’m missing something I guess.
Much appreciate any help,
Greetings, Eric

Any thoughts on getting this plugin to work with the Divi theme? I can get it to display the caption in any site using the Divi theme.
