Display caption with Featured Image

Thanks for using Tracks!

Is it necessary that the image credit be positioned right beneath the image? This is possible, but would take some additional customization.

Perhaps a simpler solution would be adding the image credit link at the bottom of the post. It could be styled easily to look different from the surrounding text.

Let me know what you think is best, and we’ll move forward with a solution.

Hi Ben,

That’s a perfectly reasonable solution. Thank you. (Love Tracks, BTW, and love all of your help.)

Yours sincerely,
Mary

You’re welcome, thanks for the kind words ??

Switching the post editor to “Text” mode will allow you to add a paragraph like this to the end of the post:

<p class=”image-credit”>Here is the image credit text</p>

Then, in the “Custom CSS” section in the Customizer, the following CSS would make that specific paragraph smaller and lighter colored:

.image-credit {
  color: #ccc;
  font-size: 13px;
}

Now, in every post you can add an “image-credit” paragraph, and it will automatically be styled appropriately.

Thanks Ben. That worked. One question that occurred to me:Are custom css entries lost in upgrades? Is it better to add it as a “child theme”?

Sure, the Custom CSS entries are “update proof”, so they will not be lost when you update to newer versions of Tracks or add premium upgrades.
