Importing Images With Caption

Hmm. Not easily, because WP saves captions as a serialized array in the database. Without writing some gnarly custom filters for you, there’s no easy way to make the importer store that data properly.

You can do this by setting up a custom field option for the HTML surrounding your caption, but you’d be saving it to a custom field rather than the standard WP image caption field.

Hi Stephanie, thanks for the reply. I understand what you’re saying. In the end I was able to solve my problem by wrapping the images in the wp shortcode [caption]. I’ll post my code shortly for anyone else who might need to solve something similar.

I would love to see this suggestion

My issue is similar to yours
All my photos have captions in Lightroom as defined in
the EXIF imageDesciption field
IPCIT Caption:(description)field.
When I import to WordPress I need to re-enter all of these.
Does your plugin support bringing the Exif/Ipcit info into WordPress?
If not is there a way to use html to grab this so I can automate this task and only keep captions in one location, in my case, Lightroom.
Best,
Platt Johnson
