Captions for the native WordPress gallery?

  • Hello all,

    Would anyone please be able to provide something which I can add into Custom CSS to:

    1. add the captions of my images to appear over the top of the image square upon mouseover
    AND
    2. change the font size for the static captions below each image

    This would be for the native WordPress gallery and I am using Virtue (free version). I inserted my gallery on a Page by clicking “media” and then “create gallery”.

    Any and all help is appreciated!

    Thank you ??

    Maria

    Oh, and to have static captions show up on my tiled gallery in the first place, too, would be amazing! No caption shows at all ??
    My gallery looks the same as the Virtue theme demo for a gallery, at the moment.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hey,
    1. There aren’t built in options for these things. Our Kadence Galleries plugin would allow you to do all of this. See here: https://www.kadencethemes.com/product/kadence-galleries/
    You may also have more luck using the portfolio feature. Let me know if you have questions regarding that.

    2. Do you mean in the lightbox or the gallery? Can you post a link?

    Hi Hannah,

    Ah okay. Thank you. I have shied away from using portfolio for a couple of other reasons.

    I mean in the gallery – here is the link:

    I’m only seeing captions on your photos, not under them. You could use this css to change that caption font:

    .dgwt-jg-caption {
    font-family: sans-serif;
}

    I think when you looked at the link, I was playing around with a plugin gallery.

    The gallery in actual fact does not show captions; so will this css that you have provided above be enough to make the captions appear in the first place, or does there need to be an extra bit added in?

    Thank you so much, almost there!

    The css would not add it. You would need to use a plugin. Or else you could disable the Virtue Galleries from Theme Options > Misc Settings.
