Elementor Image Carousel Figcaption Issue for non logged users

hi. I have the same problem on my community website. I have Blocksy theme and Elementor plugin. Captions have disappeared from all image carousels after the Elementor update from 3.24.5 (which was fine). Both 3.24.6 and 3.24.7 cause the captions error on the live website, although I can still see them when logged into the dashboard. I can’t code and I’m an elderly novice. My only solution was to roll back to the older version of Elementor plugin (back to 3.24.5) so captions are again showing. Is there anything more I can do that doesn’t involve altering code? Otherwise, Elementor has been a great plugin for me. Thanks for any help

Hi @dnbwalks :
Here is the link to fixed version of the latest Elementor 3.24.7.

You just need to download and install it. I have fixed the code in it.

Hii @king74007

Thank you for your support! However, in the next update, the issue may still persist. If Elementor can address it in their latest version, it would make things much easier for everyone.

Thank you @king74007. I appreciate your help. However, I don’t have any idea what to do with this file. I truly am a novice, with no coding and extremely limited website understanding. I have only made one website for my community group. I used Elementor as my page builder because it was easy to use and no coding was required. Without minute step by step instructions, I am no wiser to what to do, except hope that Elementor fix the bug that is affecting their carousel widget.

Hi @evramana , yes you are correct.
Whenever we update the plugin, we need to edit the code again to fix the problem. (Unless we implement some Github complex stuff that automatically merges the commit to the latest version of plugin before updating it into our website).
Let’s hope Elementor team fixes it in its next update.

Hi @dnbwalks ,
Here is the step by step guide:
1) Download the Elementor plugin file from my given link.
2) Make sure the file name is elementor.zip. If it is different, rename the file to elementor.zip
3) Now open the WordPress Admin dashboard. In the left sidebar, hover on the Plugins and click on Add New Plugin
4) There you will see a button on the top Upload Plugin. Click on it. It will open a form box for you with a Choose File button.
5) Click on Choose File and upload the zip file that you downloaded from my link.
6) When upload is complete click on the button Replace Current with Uploaded
And that’s it.
Hope it helps.

Thanks @king74007. Your instructions were helpful and thorough. I tested on a clone of my website and your zip file brought back all my captions. I have zero understanding of how this worked but thank you

Thank you @king74007 , your solution worked very well

should i Rollback the elementor version 3.24.5? then my image carousal caption is back or not?

Hi @shinde77
Please follow the instructions I gave in the reply earlier.
.
Pasting it here again:
No need to revert back to the earlier version. Here is a quick fix that you can do on the latest Elementor version until the Elementor team fixes it.
Open the following file:
Elementor -> includes -> widgets -> image-carousel.php
Scroll to?Line # 1058
There you can see the following three lines of code:

if ( Utils::has_invalid_post_permissions( $attachment_post ) ) {
return '';
}
.
Just comment out these three lines. And you will be good to go.
.
Best Regards.
