Got the ellipsis to work by adding this to child theme style.css:

#swipebox-caption {white-space:nowrap ; text-overflow:ellipsis;}

Still would be nice if larger text display on screen (potentially overlapping image?) I guess there are some design issues to think about. Also considered using ‘overflow:scroll’ instead, which seems to work if you really need to see all the text in the lightbox, though is a bit clunky.

Solved the problem – the .site class in the twenty-twelve theme style.css had “overflow: hidden” , I’ve changed it to overflow: visible and it works perfectly now. Though I think what this is telling me is that I need to make shorter menus for usability reasons.

Thanks Peter – at the moment the site isn’t open to the public as we are still in development. If you give me an email address I’ll send you a login to take a look.

Same here. Tried with default twenty-thirteen theme and get a 404 error when clicking on term from glossary page. Am so disappointed as this looked like a great plugin.

Same problem here. I’d be happy with simple truncation – tried this in the css to no avail:
#swipebox-caption { text-overflow: ellipsis; }
