  I’m not seeing the Caption this Image content that I added to my images in a slide show gallery. Shouldnt the text that I typed in this field be displayed with the images in the slideshow?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I believe the captions should display in the image slideshow. If you’re still having trouble, could you point me to an image that currently has a caption that is not displaying? I looked through your most recent gallery it none of the images have captions on them:

  Hello,
  Thank you for your reply.
  I have enabled a slideshow slider on my post, which may be different than the gallery option. I added a gallery and modified the short code.
  I want to have a caption displayed with the images.
  I have entered text in the Caption field, Title field, and Description field and no text appears on the images.
  I am working on the slider in the Lost Food Casting post.
  I wonder if I need to modify the short code?
  Thank you!

  Hi!

  It looks like the slider=”true” portion of the code is causing the caption to disappear. I don’t believe there is a shortcode that can be used to display the caption when the slider shortcode is used. I tried caption=”true” with no luck. You may want to ask in the Portfolio theme support here:

  Outside of that, you could use CSS and modify the shortcode to display like this:

  

  Would that work?

  If so, just remove the slider portion of the code and insert this CSS under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS:

  div.slideshow-window {
      background-color: inherit;
      border: none;
  }

  Let me know if that would work!

  Hi,
  This works well, thank you.
  Can the slideshow be set up to not automatically change the images and instead only change by clicking on the arrows?
  Thank you again!

  Hi!

  Currently, it isn’t possible to disable the autoplay without the reader manually clicking the pause button. Please let me know if you need anything else!
