Go to gallery.php inside the “view” folder of the nextgen plugin folder.

Add this span before the closing the div of “ngg-gallery-thumbnail” somewhere around line 45:

<span><?php echo $image->caption ?></span>

The final codes should look like this from line 41 to line 47:

`<div class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail” >
imageURL ?>” title=”<?php echo $image->description ?>” <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
<?php if ( !$image->hidden ) { ?>
<img title=”<?php echo $image->alttext ?>” alt=”<?php echo $image->alttext ?>” src=”<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>” <?php echo $image->size ?> />
<?php } ?>
<span><?php echo $image->caption ?></span>
</div>`

It’s really a 2.8.6 issue. A major one that kept me awake till morning

I used the query suggested at https://www.jauhari.net/how-to-fix-wordpress-26-missing-categories.jsp

But even if you run it new categories may still have missing descriptions.

Also “exclude” post seems also not to be working properly in 2.8.6.

I truly hate this version…

This has been a major headache as I thought it was a theme problem!

Run this query in phpmyadmin in your wp database as suggested by https://www.jauhari.net
“UPDATE wp_term_taxonomy,wp_terms SET wp_term_taxonomy.description = wp_terms.name WHERE wp_term_taxonomy.term_id = wp_terms.term_id”

but make sure you are using the wp prefix or change it in the query the prefix to what you assigned.

The query worked for me but when I add new categories , I have to run the query again. Hence, I will just revert back to 2.8.5.
