Use Image Caption Instead of Image Title

Hello all,

I needed the answer for this and it wasn’t posted. After some digging in the WordPress codex I found out the answer.

The title code is found in the current-post-list-images.php file on lines 72-74 (this is for version 1.6.1 of the plugin):

<br />
echo '<img src="'.$arr_image[0].'" '.<br />
(('true' == $parms['caption']) ? ' title="'.get_the_title($id).'"' : '').<br />
$thumbnail.'/>';

change this to:

<br />
$thecaption =  apply_filters( 'the_caption', $image->post_excerpt );</p>
<p>echo '<img src="'.$arr_image[0].'" '.<br />
(('true' == $parms['caption']) ? ' title="'.$thecaption.'"' : ''). //.get_the_title($id).'"' : '').<br />
$thumbnail.'/>';<br />

The first line of code grabs the caption info and stores it in the variable $thecaption. Image captions are stored as the image’s post_excerpt. Then we modify line 73 to show the info we have stored in $thecaption.

Hope this helps someone else out. Best wishes,
