Gallery Short Code

  • I would rather have a gallery short code that could display the title of the image rather then the caption below the image. As captions can be a couple sentences sometimes when you use the thumbnail image for the gallery the caption seems almost as large as the thumbnail image itself.

    When you look at the media ‘wp-includes/media.php’ it only give you one option which is the caption.

    Of course I can just display the CSS to none and it won’t show anything below the image, but I believe their could be better solutions.

  • you can add your own gallery shortcode to functions.php of your theme, starting with a copy of the code from wp_includes/media.php;

    remove_shortcode('gallery', 'gallery_shortcode');
add_shortcode('gallery', 'rdall_gallery_shortcode');
function rdall_gallery_shortcode($attr) {
HERE ADD THE FULL GALLERY CODE FROM MEDIA.PHP, BUT CHANGE THESE LINES:
		if ( $captiontag && trim($attachment->post_title) ) {
			$output .= "
				<{$captiontag} class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>
				" . wptexturize($attachment->post_title) . "
				</{$captiontag}>";
HERE THE REST OF THE CODE
return $output;
}
