Dynamic Meta Key For Featured Image Caption

[whitemedia]

Hi,

Is there a way to use dynamic data to bring the featured image’s caption into a Pro layout, in the format shown below? Presumably this may be possible using the custom key, but I cannot find a list of keys to identify the image caption.

{{dc:post:meta key="image-caption"}}

Many thanks,
Christopher

Hi Christopher,

We don’t have a way to do that in Pro at the moment but it is possible by extending Dynamic Content with some custom code in functions.php of a child theme.

add_filter('cs_dynamic_content_post-custom', function( $result, $field, $args ){
  
  global $post;
  
  if (! is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) ) {
    return $result;
  }

  if ($field === 'caption') {
    $result = wp_get_attachment_caption( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post ) );
  }

  return $result;

},10, 3);

That code will let you do {{dc:post-custom:caption}} to retrieve the caption of the current thumbnail. I’ll make a note so we can consider possibly making it a new Dynamic Content option but that should work in the meantime.
