Hi @dem10,
The plugin I suggested inserts a caption alongside the posts on the home page, but not on the individual post’s page. This is due to the way Pictorico inserts featured images in the code.
You can find the plugin’s suggestions for getting around this here:

I tested on my own installation of Pictorico and was able to get a caption to display on individual posts by following these steps:
- If you haven’t already, create a child theme.
- Copy the parent theme’s content-single.php file to the child theme’s directory. This file is where the code for single post pages exists.
- Locate the following piece of code in the file:
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-thumbnail" style="background-image: url(<?php echo esc_url( $thumbnail[0] ); ?>);"></div>
<?php else : ?>
- The above code inserts the featured image at the top of the individual post and is where we need to place the plugin’s <?php echo cc_featured_image_caption(); ?> function. Like so:
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-thumbnail" style="background-image: url(<?php echo esc_url( $thumbnail[0] ); ?>);">
<?php echo cc_featured_image_caption(); ?>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
After you have completed the above steps, a caption will be added to the featured image of individual posts. It may need some CSS tweaks.
Let us know how you get on with those steps.
