Caption not showing up

    I think I’m doing this right, but my captions are not showing up. I’m running a loop to get new images and if there’s a caption, output it as the title attribute for the image.

    When rolling over the thumbnails, you can see that the titles are being outputted correctly, but when the lightbox gallery comes up none of the captions show up.

    Its not a CSS issue as looking at the HTML for the page, the caption span never gets populated. This comes up for everything:

    <span id="caption" style="display: inline;"></span>

    No JS errors in the console. Shouldn’t you just have to add a title attribute to the image for teh caption to show up?

  • Have you compared your markup to the info in the FAQ?

    WP jQuery Lightbox grabs texts from three different HTML nodes;

    title-attribute of link-to-image
    img tag’s title attribute (if 1 is empty)
    img tag’s alt attribute (if 1 and 2 is empty)
    HTML content of .gallery-caption or .wp-caption-text (in that order)
    Look at how the default TwentyTwelve theme uses these in its galleries and set up your theme so it outputs what you need in these places.

    Thanks for the reply so quick. I though everything was correct… the client has just done a 180 and decided they no longer want a lightbox. It was most likely a conflict with one of the other plugins.
