  Hi, I note someone else has raised this issue. Is there a known issue with trying to add a caption to images in a masonry gallery? I am using the Balasana theme.
  Thanking you in anticipation.

  Sure thing. I’d be glad to take a closer look. Is this the gallery in question? https://katherinebarneyartist.wordpress.com/gallery/

  Happy to help! So that captions for the masonry block will be added to the images themselves in the media library, as opposed to directly to the masonry block.

  If you head to the editor screen for your “Gallery” page (found under Site > Pages), click on a photo in the block, and then click the pencil icon, you’ll see the photos you’ve added to the block already selected. From there, you can click “Edit” and fill in the caption information there for each photo, as you’ll see in this screenshot. You can use the arrows to scroll to the next photos in the block when you’ve added a caption.

  Once those have been saved, they’ll be reflected on the individual photos within the masonry block. Let us know if you need a bit more assistance with this.
