Hi support team,

I’ve tried to follow the instructions of 2 other threads on this subject, but it did not work.
I would like add an image caption under my featured images in single posts to credit the author of image.

It should look like this (see screenshot).

* Maybe it will be necessary to move the post text a little bit further down. If you could also provide a code for that?

Thank you!

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

To resolve this issue adding the caption in your feature image in single blog post, please check out this topic: https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/image-caption-below-featured-image/#post-1090494

You should have something like this: http://prntscr.com/cof0z0

Hope this helps.

Thank you, but as I already said I followed the insturctions there already and it did not work. I don’t know why.
Partly because I did not know what was meant by that:

“You will have to manually add the caption for the image and we could add a custom CSS to style it.

You can do it by something like this:

<p class=”img”>

<span class=”img-caption”>I am a caption</span>
</p> “

Who is “we” in “we could add a custom CSS to style it” mean, ad where would it be added? And does “manually add the caption for the image” mean adding it in the WP Mediacenter?

Do I use the code for customizer given by the support:

p.img .img-caption {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
    color: #ccc;
    font-style: italic;
}

p.img img {
    width: 100%;
}

or the one suggested by the member:

.img-caption {
	color: #ffffff !important;
	background-color: transparent !important;
	padding: 0 0 0 20px;
	margin: 0 0 0 20px;
	border-bottom: dotted;
	}

or both? I can’t tell because I don’t see anything changing in the customizer…

I would be greatful for detailed instruction from the first step.
Thank you!

I tried it again and now it worked. There was a Syntax Error I did not see.

Thank you!!

I tried to put a link in the image caption, but the result was that all the post text content was affected.
I added Selected by freepik in the caption text in the WP Mediacenter.

Can you tell me how to add links in the caption the right way.

Thanx!!

Hi there,

HTML tags are not allowed in caption field. Regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by X. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities. Thanks for understanding. Take care!

I understand. Thank you.

You’re welcome!
