Just answering my own question in case someone needs what I needed. Going through the two easy step below will keep all HTML entered into the text field, also making it possible to include CSS classes.

(This is hardcoding the plugin, so not best practice, of course, but it will do the trick. Just remember to not update the plugin, as it will overwrite your changes).

1.
Open up this file (included in the plugin – in the /includes folder):
process_shortcode.php
In line 189 change “get_the_excerpt()” to “get_the_content()”.

2.
Open up this file (included in the plugin – in the /includes folder):
process_posttype.php
In line 347 change “get_the_excerpt()” to “get_the_content()”.

Any news on this? This is a great plugin, but I really need to use HTML in the text field.

I have looked through the plugin’s PHP files, but I can’t figure out why HTML is stripped front-end. Can you point me in the right direction? All I want to do is stop the HTML-stripping.

Thanks!!!

Yeah, you’re right. But it worked in 1.5.1. Responsive Lightbox somehow disabled the other lightbox.

After updating, and I didn’t do anything else, both lightboxes are loaded on top of each other.

Brilliant !! Thanks so much.

I have seen around the web that quite a few people have been looking for something like this. If any of them stops by here, simply add dFactory’s code to the “functions.php” file in your theme (or child theme).

Now, whatever you write in WordPress’s ALT field (in the Media Library or simply when you upload a new image) will be displayed as the lightbox caption.

Thanks again, dFactory. Really appreciate it!

I know the plugin requires the link title by default. I wrote it in my question.

As you can see on the page I link to, I have tested, and the caption does indeed turn up if I add link titles to the code.

The point is that I really, really don’t want to manually add link titles to every single image on my site. I have already filled in the WP caption field and I just want to be able to use the content of that same field on lightbox captions too.

Other people will be adding content to my site, and they won’t know how to add captions in the code. Besides, it seems silly as it is double work.

Is there some PHP I can use to replace the ‘link title’ with the ‘caption’?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is a page sample: https://cityformation.com/making-more-friends-in-your-building-is-not-about-luck/

I am primarily trying to add captions to single images like on the page above.

(Making it work for galleries too would be nice, but not essential. For galleries I am currently using WP native, e.g. : https://cityformation.com/kbh-magazine/#lightbox%5Bgroup-26631%5D/0/ which works fine)

I’m having some problems with the plugin and have been recommended to downgrade to an earlier version.

So I need the plugin page quite badly myself. Can see that the developers own page is still up: https://www.modulaweb.fr/portail/.

Could Jean-Francois Vial, the developer, update the community?

Ok. Finally figured it out. To anyone with the same problem:

The CSS in question is generated by the plugin. To be specific we’re talking line 147 in the “template.php” file.

Change 1px to 0px and you’re sorted.

A huge fan of telepathy myself, but only part receiving this one.

I am quite new to WordPress but know a fair bit about HTML, CSS and such. Using Firebug I can see that the plugin (Frontpage Slideshow) is reading CSS from CSS files called WordPress #1, WordPress #2 and WordPress #3.

Testing in Firebug, I can see WordPress #3 is the culprit so loads of good karma to you.

But for the life of me, I can’t find “WordPress #3”. Where the heck is it? I want to edit it real bad …

Me again. Tried going thrugh frontpage-slideshow.php and changing every instance of “border: solid 1px” to “border: solid 0px”. In total 9 places (lines 649, 718, 756, 925, 932, 986, 994, 1210, 1219).

Didn’t work.
