OK, verified. It only happens when the additional “Shadowbox JS – Use Title from Image” plugin is activated.

Correct me if I am doing something stupid again. Looks like something doesn’t like apostrophes in the titles. If I use “You can’t get here by bus” as an image title, the thumbnail is no longer displayed, just its lone caption, and when Shadowbox pulls the full-size image (by clicking through the gallery), the Shadowbox caption ends at the apostrophe. In this case “You can’>”. Any idea?

Humblest apologies for my stupidity sir! And thank you..

OK, I figured it out. Here’s what works:
1. Add and image to your post as you normally do
2. Click on the image again to bring up the “Edit image” icon*
3. Click on the “Edit image” icon to open the dialog box
4. Go to the “Advanced Settings”
5. Go to the “Advanced Link Settings” in the lower third
6. Type the caption you want to display above the Shadow box in the “Title” field.

While this works, it means two things:
a. The “Title” where you need to type the Shadowbox caption is not the same as the “Image title”, or indeed the “Caption” field.
b. Worse, there’s no way to enter this value during the process of adding the image to the post, as that dialog doesn’t contain the Advanced Link Setting section. You need to first add the image and fill-in the non-Shadowbox caption, and then edit it and ad the Shadowbox caption.

Conclusion: The plugin seems to pull the value out of the wrong “title” field. I.e. from the advanced link setting title, rather than from the Image title.

Hello Matt, I’ve got the newest v. 3.0.3.2 on WP 3.0.1 but for some reason the captions still don’t show. I do fill in all the fields in the WP Import Media dialog, i.e. Title, Alt text, Caption and Description, but none of that appears when the shadowbox opens. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
