  Hi, there is no longer an option to add a caption to an image using the image block. If I go to older posts, the captions are there, but they are gone when I try to edit. This is my blog: https://randymeisnerretrospective.com/

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

  I was able to fix the issue by adding captions via HTML.

  Before </figure> add
  <figcaption>add caption here</figcaption>

  The caption will only show up in Preview.

  Hi there!

  It sounds like you may be referring to a bug we’re already tracking, where the captions are displayed as white on white background, which makes them invisible.

  Our developers are already working on this, so hopefully, we’ll have a fix soon.

  Also, remember that with your plan, you can access Live Chat directly via https://wordpress.com/help/contact. That way, you can get help faster.
