    Hi,, I need to be able to display credit to the photographer on the featured images – how can I display a caption?

    I see that there is/was a plugin to display it but this hasn’t been updated for the last 3 Worpdress updates.

  • Hi @gemini23,

    You can try adding the following snippet to your site

    function display_featured_image_caption() {
    global $post;

    if (has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
        $thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID);

        $caption = get_post($thumbnail_id)->post_excerpt;

        if (!empty($caption)) {
            echo '<div class="featured-image-caption">' . esc_html($caption) . '</div>';
        }
    }
}

add_action('astra_blog_single_featured_image_after', 'display_featured_image_caption');

    It looks like this on my dev site.

    You can style it further with custom CSS.

    I hope it will help.

    Kind regards,
    Herman ??
