Getting image caption to show up…

WPyogi,
It’s a theme problem. I too have checked using Twenty Twelve and it worked fine. Moreover, the screenshot shows 4 items that are pending update – 3 plugins and the fourth probably the theme.

I hadn’t updated to 3.5.1 actually. The three plugins that needed updating were two bbPress plugins and User Role Editor.

I checked using Twenty Twelve. It still didn’t work.

Are you using NGG or ??

Try deactivating your plugins.

Here’s what I am doing – create new post — click set featured image –> put caption in caption field –> click update.

Shows up in the post under the image.

I deactivated NGG, switched to Twenty Twelve. No caption.

Just now, decativated NGG, switched to Twenty Twelve, added New Post, added Featured Image, put in captions, Published.

No captions.

NGG is the only image plugin I have.

Actually, the captions don’t show up – those are post titles – LOL. Sorry about that – getting too late here. They do show up on regular images?

I’ve not really added many captions. I’ve been making them part of the image (Player names), but the new theme, while much nicer than I had before, makes it too cluttered on the homepage grid.

Ok…I just added it to my Post, and the caption shows up.

Can you tell us or what you think was the problem due to which captions did not show up in your earlier attempts?

The only time the caption showed up was if I inserted the picture into the Post. Used just as the Featured Image, the caption did not show, even though the Post uses the image at the top of the page.

I’d assume what a person can do if they’re having the same issue is insert an image into the Post then preview the Post.

From there, using their browser tools, such as Firebug, inspect the HTML creating the image in the Post. Find what writes the caption and hard code it into your theme’s single.php file.
