Display image title and caption in Essential Grid

Support
#1

Hi,

Is it possible to display the title and caption for the featured image in a post-based Essential Grid, preferably in the hover cover? I tried using the %caption% meta, but it displayed the post excerpt, not the image caption. Thanks for any suggestions.

Cornerstone: 3.3.4

I’m trying to do something similar to this:

But this example is about converting a WP gallery to Essential Grid. I would like to have the image title and caption display on hover (as in the example), not the post title and post excerpt.

Hi There,

It’s not possible.

The post type source is POST so the title & excerpt are belong to the posts.

And under the layer setting there is no meta field for the featured image as well:

I recommend you to use the gallery shortcode in this example instead:

Thanks for your help. I solved this problem by creating image title and caption fields using Custom Fields Pro, then created an Essential Grid layer for text and added %image_title% and %image_caption%. Worked perfectly.
