Featured picture captions in TwentySixteen

Hi, @madamecholet! TwentySixteen doesn’t include captions with Featured Images by default, so what you could do here is create (and activate) a Child Theme for TwentySixteen, and then add this code to the child theme’s functions.php file to override the original function from the parent theme:

function twentysixteen_post_thumbnail() {
	if ( post_password_required() || is_attachment() || ! has_post_thumbnail() ) {
		return;
	}

	if ( is_singular() ) :
	?>

	<div class="post-thumbnail">
		<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
		<p class="wp-caption"><?php echo get_post( get_post_thumbnail_id() )->post_excerpt; ?></p>
	</div><!-- .post-thumbnail -->

	<?php else : ?>

	<a class="post-thumbnail" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" aria-hidden="true">
		<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'post-thumbnail', array( 'alt' => the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>
		<p class="wp-caption"><?php get_post( get_post_thumbnail_id() )->post_excerpt; ?></p>
	</a>

	<?php endif; // End is_singular()
}

Thank you @girlieworks- that worked perfectly!

You’re welcome, @madamecholet! ??
