It is indeed a theme problem and Thesis has offered us a temporary fix. Glad I didn’t have to change my theme. Whew!

My whole site will truly go to hell in a hand-basket if I change themes.

Does it ring any bells why the caption would work OK on some posts but not on others?

Sorry. To answer your question exactly this time. Yes, in the HTML view, it says [caption id="" and the rest of what you're saying there] but in the page source code it says nothing about a caption.

On the pages where the captions DO work the source code shows differently in a way that DOES show the word ‘caption’.

No, no image customizing plugins.

Yes, that image I sent you the link for IS using a caption. But, it’s not showing on the post, or rather it is showing but thrown to the side of the image in plain text. In the post editor, it’s using a caption and looks fine.

I know the source code doesn’t show it using a caption. THAT’S THE PROBLEM. And no, the HTML does not look like what you put above. There is no [caption id=]. It doesn’t care whatsoever about a caption being there.

I have tried taking the image completely out, re-saving the post, putting the image back in, even changing the image format and nothing works so far. On some posts it works and on some it just doesn’t.

Here’s another one with the same problem.

I’ll leave it up this time and await your reply.

None of my plugins have been affected by 3.4.

Captions work fine on some pages and not on others.

I thought maybe it was image file format but that’s not it.

I still have no idea.

I took the image caption out of the page. First I tried deleting the image and re-saving the page. Then I added the image back in. I did this twice. Both times it failed me.

I can also read the source code and this was my conclusion:

The problem was caused by asking to have the image aligned left. How WordPress appeared to interpret that was to put the image to the left of the caption and with no frame.

Someday I will come across another post with the same problem and ask the question again.

That’s funny. Some of them are Ok and some of them are not. Here’s one that’s not. Note ‘Dia’ over to the side of the image. That’s actually a caption supposedly.

Sorry, I thought there was a link in my profile.

’tis fixed. A small anomaly in the Thesis theme.

What’s confusing me about that is that my header.php presently looks like this:

<?php

function thesis_header_area() {
	thesis_hook_before_header();
	thesis_header();
	thesis_hook_after_header();
}

function thesis_header() {
	echo "\t<div id=\"header\">\n";
	thesis_hook_header();
	echo "\t</div>\n";
}

function thesis_default_header() {
	thesis_hook_before_title();
	thesis_title_and_tagline();
	thesis_hook_after_title();
}

Am I supposed to delete all that and put this instead?

<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

It seems to me something is going to go seriously wrong with that.

I’m getting
‘post title – blog name’
and I don’t need the ‘blog name’ part because that’s put in through my Thesis theme as
‘post title | blog name’ so I delete it each time manually.
Now, if it stopped there it would be OK, but I see in the search engines it’s also added the site name. Although I don’t see it in the Admin area, I’m now being indexed as
‘post title | blog name – site name’.
Not good. Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of the ‘site name’ part of it?

Thanks. I got it. I just chose the wp_post table and that seemed to work.

Kfleming, that was interesting. I was also thinking toward PhpMyAdmin but don’t understand how to do this. My database is comprised of 42 tables. Do I click all the boxes?

There are several people posting this problem, but not ‘everyone’. If we could put our heads together and see what we have in common? Web hosting?
Firefox plugins? I’m running far afield in my thinking because I didn’t make any changes to WP. Is it as easy as flipping a switch on the ‘write permissions’?

I’m hosted on Hostgator, if that rings any bells. What would they have to do with it? Don’t know.
