Previously when I uploaded photos to the “Media Library” and then “Edited” them by adding captions, the captions would stay linked to the images (either as a single or tiled images) when I “Inserted” them into the blog post.Stewart Ketcham

Hello Stewart,
Many thanks for reaching out.
It looks like a tiled gallery is in use there: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/tiled-gallery-block/ which doesn’t show captions in the gallery.
You may wish to consider using an ordinary gallery: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/gallery-block/ where galleries show captions.
I hope this helps.

I did add captions in the media library (an edit function). However, when I “inserted” the images into the blog post the captions did not stay with images. -
Hi there!
Even if you add the caption to your Media Library, it will not be displayed under the images in Tiled Gallery Block, which you seem to be using to post your images:
Try to change your Tiled Galleries to plan Galleries or add images individually to an Image Block.

Following your guidance, I did add captions successfully.
Some of the captions obscure the image in the gallery and when we “open the gallery” to see images one at a time the captions disappear.
Is there a way to either reduce the caption font size? Or have the caption show only when the gallery is opened? -
Hello Stewart,
I would suggest editing the title for each image through the media library instead or upon uploading to WordPress.
This way the title displays comfortably when on full screen without any of the undesired effects for your needs, as described.
Below a couple of examples:

Great question! It’s likely possible by using custom CSS, which does require that you purchase one of our paid upgrades. If interested, you can review the different options here:

Otherwise, the captions only show if you hover your mouse cursor over them, so they’re not that obtrusive.
I hope that helps!

What did csonnek mean by “Otherwise, the captions only show if you hover your mouse cursor over them, so they’re not that obtrusive.”
Is this available in my domain style? -

Is this available in my domain style?This depends on the theme you’re using. Currently, the theme you have active on your site does not support that effect.
