    Is there a way to add a description underneath a video? I’ve used the alt= to add a video title, but I can’t seem to add any description underneath the player.

    If it makes a difference – I’m linking to a Vimeo video.
    Thanks!

    Hi, try the following documentation. Let me know if this helps you.

    I’ve seen the guide, however title=”some description text” does not appear underneath my video. Actually – it doesn’t appear anywhere. I’ve checked if it’s just the font being white, but – nope… just not showing up.

    Also, I’ve noticed that when I switch off the “Show title” in the control panel it’s the alt=”some description text” that disappears from the video lightbox.

    Acutally… I looked at the misc_functions.php file and saw that there’s a shortcode “description=” that nobody mentions anywhere in your guide.

    Hi, did that work for you? If it did what is your current shortcode? I am curious to know myself.

    Thank you

    If you open wp-video-lightbox/misc_functions.php
    You’ll see after the 8th row the following:

    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
                'video_id' => '',
                'width' => '',	
                'height' => '',
                'description' => '',
                'anchor' => '',
                'alt' => '',
                'auto_thumb' => '',
        ), $atts));

    This is where I saw the ‘description’ => ”, code. You should update your guide cause currently it doesn’t include it.

    An example shortcode is:
    [video_lightbox_vimeo5 video_id=202617755 width=960 height=540 alt="Deeba" description="Tvoita maina" auto_thumb="1"]

    And it displays like this:

    I have updated the documentation explaining how to use the “description” shortcode parameter:
