Getting image caption to show up…

Can you link to a post/ page where you have tried to have caption? Or want to have one?

Hopefully you can see this Preview of a Post:

I don’t mind hard coding something into the single.php. I’ve located where any code would go. I’m just not sure what to add.

Sorry, preview can be seen only by you – the person who has logged in to the admin panel.

Can you make a test post with an image and try to add caption and link it here?

OK, I do not find either captions or any sign of code for captions. Looks like a problem with your theme.
Can you switch to Twenty Twelve theme temporarily and see if you can add captions?

If you right click the image and Inspect Element, you’ll see the ALT under the IMG shows the caption. I set that up as the caption when I picked that image.

I tried Twenty Twelve theme. I edited the post, deleted the featured image then updated. I went back to add the image again. The caption showed up as I added it in the Edit page. It did not show up as I viewed the Post.

Alt is different from caption. Alt’s purpose is to display the text when image does not load. If you find a box for caption, you should enter the description of the image there (more or less like description). But for alt you have to use a much shorter description.

So, see if you have a box for entering caption

I know, but I’m entering the information in the Caption field. There is also an ALT field and a Description field. I’m using the native WP Media panel.

Here is a screenshot:

FWIW, caption works fine for me in twentytwelve on featured images.

Do you have any plugins active that might be affecting this?

Oh, I’m quite sure I do. ??

I thought you were using twentytwelve – looks like a theme problem to me and that’s a commercial theme so you need to ask ThemeForest.

I tried Twenty Twelve. It didn’t work there either.
