Adding Text to NextGen Gallery Images

@jfkirkpatrick – Are you looking to extend the data fields available under Manage Galleries, or are you looking to import / display existing image meta data (read: IPTC/EXIF data)?

Cais,
I feel stupid and embarrassed!!
I did not realize that those fields existed!!
I have edited 2 images under Desert Paintings and this is not exactly what I want but we are getting close.
I would like to see a Caption (Agave) if possible and the Description formatted:
Acrylic on Canvas
37 1/2″ wide x 25 1/2″ high

not as it is showing in https://www.ccscadmin.com/gallery/nggallery/bellaromain/desert-paintings?/gallery now.
Thanks for your assistance.

@jfkirkpatrick – The image description field will parse some basic HTML, you might look at doing some basic formatting and/or adding some HTML containers to the description text so you can use custom CSS to better format the layout.

For example, your “formatted” text above would look better on your site if entered as:

Acrylic on Canvas<br />37 1/2" wide x 25 1/2" high

Using the <br /> to force a “carriage return” effect.

Thanks!

Cais,
Thank you so very much for the assistance.
My biggest problem with WordPress is trying to learn the protocols and methods to get things done. I am used to doing it the grunt coding way using methods that I am familiar with. It’s all a learning experience!!
One more question than I think I am done!!
The image is float: left; and the text is centered so there is an offset in the display https://www.ccscadmin.com/gallery/nggallery/bellaromain/desert-paintings?/gallery now. I would like the image to center but the style sheet for this display is in your NextGen style sheet so changes to my child theme style sheet has no effect.
Thanks again.
John

@jfkirkpatrick – In some cases of custom CSS you may need to also add the !important directive to some of the properties for them to be used / over-ride the existing CSS definition(s).

Cais,
Thank you for your assistance.
I used .pageid-9 .ngg-gallery-thumbnail in my child style.css and it worked beautifully.
Thank you for your support.
