Hi there, just to let you know that latest (1.16) release corrects some problems detected when showing a list of posts and allows you to enable / disable the image caption in lists (disabled by default)

We think we got it. Definitively we have to study these kinds of cases more in deep in the next days!

Meanwhile, can you test this code in the additional CSS box? (following the same indications in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-hide-captions-on-the-front-page/#post-10564295)

.home figcaption {display:none;}

With this, all the captions on the homepage should be hidden. Tell us if has worked while we look for a more global solution.

@ecabral, which method are you using for listings posts or pages in the homepage? A portfolio plugin, a specific template page, a shortcode, a particular configuration in your theme…? Are you listing pages or posts?

I hope you understand that it is difficult to get an idea of the problem with such limited information and without being able to inspect your website directly ??

Hi @ecabral. Are you working with the Himalayas theme, too? Tell us which theme are you using, we will try to take a look into this specific issue.

Glad to help you, @kseniam

You can leave some stars at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/fsm-custom-featured-image-caption/#reviews, it will help us a lot! ??

It seems you are using the Front Page Sidebar widget included with Himalayas to show some featured posts or pages, right?

You can add a special CSS style to hide the captions from all the widgets in your site:

.widget .wp-caption-text {display:none;}

Add this code in the “Additional CSS” box, in the WordPress theme customization section, and tell us if the trick has worked.

Hi! With regular themes, usually, the captions are not showed on the front page. Which theme are you using? Can you share some public link to take a look deep into your problem?

Thanks for using the plugin ??

Hi @hatisenang, thanks for your support.

Good news is that we are already working on a new version of the plugin that will support any custom taxonomy. It will probably come out in early September

Thanks again for your feedback.

We’ve updated the plugin to correct that empty figcaption you mentioned. From now on, if there is no caption at all, no empty layers will appear.

As for the other points, unfortunately it’s not really feasible to make changes to the plugin so it adapts better to a given theme, as there are countless of them. Sometimes there will not be other option than to fine tune the css or the theme’s template files (or the child) to accommodate it better

Well you’ll have to fix it in the theme, editing the template or the css, as the plugin it’s not supposed to change the styles of the container by itself. I’ve looked at your site and I think that it’s an easy css fix (unless you need the green background), give it a try:

.single-featured-image-header figure.wp-caption{
margin-top:0;
}

.single-featured-image-header {
    background-color: transparent;
    border-color: transparent;
}

Hi @marklcm, there was a problem identifying individual pages that has been corrected in the new version. Please update the plugin to 1.14

Let us know if it works now. Thanks for reporting

It’s strange that some captions show up but others don’t. Is it possible you’re using a multi-language plugin (like WPML)?

As for the Jetpack’s Publicize plugin behaviour, we don’t use it in our workflow so not really sure how it works. I’ve looked into jetpack documentation, and seems that you can change the generated opengraph tags that facebook reads: https://developer.jetpack.com/hooks/jetpack_open_graph_tags/

Maybe you can try to remove the caption div code from the description (og:description) with a regular expression. If that doesn’t work you may have better luck talking to the plugin creators at Jetpack support.

Hi simco. Sorry that the proposed solution didn’t work for you. You probably already tried this, but (as I ignore your technical background) just to be sure:

• Check that you are using get_featured_image_caption() or echo the_featured_image_caption(). The first function displays the value and the second just returns it, hence the need for echo (this may be confuging for a mistake in naming the functions)
• Look at the source code as outputted by your browser and search for the caption string you expect to see (i.e. use a easy identifiable string such as ‘AAAAAAAAAAAAA’). Depending of the theme you’re using, it may be hidden by css, in a different place than expected or obscured by another element.
• Make sure you’re modifing the correct template: it could be a child theme with it’s own single.php file, your post or page is using a custom template or a more specific template file (i.e. single-post.php). As before, try to put a random string and check if it shows up.

If none of this works, you may send us a fragment of the code you’ve modified or a link to a page with the problem to see if we can help you any further.

You’re welcome, and keep an eye on the next updates ??

Thanks for the suggestion.
While it is perfectly valid, unfortunately adding it right now could create some issues for users of the plugin that have images with description and an empty caption, as with the update all those images would suddenly (and without warning) show text that wasn’t appearing before and may not be intended to show up as a caption.

However, we plan to add an option in a future version of the plugin that will allow you to select the text to use between the four fields that the media library can store for each image (Title, caption, alt text and description), and also the hability to select a default fallback in the global options.

Also thanks for reporting about the broken donation link, we’ll look into that.
