    I’m having a problem with getting the image description to show up on some images in the lightbox view.

    I’m using the “Alt/Title” field for the image title and the “Redirect URL” field for the image description. But I have the redirect action disabled, so that whatever is in that should — and does, in a few cases — show up in the lightbox view as an image description on the page, rendered to the DIV class “bwg_image_description”, like so:

    <div class="bwg_image_description">Oil on panel, 11”x 14” 2017</div>

    However, this is only working on the first few images in a gallery. On subsequent images, in which that “Redirect URL’ field does have a value, the description is empty. The DIV “bwg_image_description” renders to the page (in the source code), but is empty.

    On the linked page, the first 8 images have image descriptions in the “Redirect URL” field, but on the first 2 display descriptions.

    Can’t figure out why this is happening. Any ideas?

    Thanks ….

    Hi Joerugg,

    Thanks for describing the problem in detail.

    Please note, Redirect to URL field is intended to be used for adding links to gallery thumbnails. To add descriptions to the images, fill in the Description option instead.

    I created a screenshot where the option is highlighted. Please have a look at it here.

    Do you use a device with a small screen to edit the galleries? If so, please note, that the Description option is currently disabled on some screen sizes. We’ll fix that soon, but in the meantime, please use a larger screen to add image descriptions.

    Thanks! Have a great day!

    Ok. Thanks …. I’ve resized the screen and now see the Description field.

    Thanks.
