  Hi! I’m trying to caption my featured images in each post, but I can’t figure out how to do it. If I add a paragraph block to the featured image template part, there’s nowhere to edit it in each post. The only way I can think of is to just add a small paragraph block before each post content, but that seems like a band-aid kind of solution,

  Hi!

  You could consider adding the captions to your featured images via your Media library:

  You can even edit an image that’s already in your Media library to add a caption to it, while you’re selecting it as the featured image.

  There’s also a ‘caption’ box option for regular images that you insert into posts:

  Feel free to try those two options, and let us know if you encounter any issues.
