Picture Captions

    My captions for images are not showing up on my blog. I’ve seen this issue brought up a couple of times, but haven’t really seen a fix. Please advise.

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

    Hi there!

    I’m not sure how your theme displays image captions, but that might be something to look into. I also didn’t see any images on your blog where a caption might be displayed, so I’m not sure if you have already tested that.

    Perhaps you can try inserting an image within the body of your post, and apply a caption to it.

    Testing with another theme might also help, if you can’t get the first suggestion to work.

    Here is the section on images that covers captions:

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks! It looks like I’m using the photo as a “featured image”, so maybe the parameters about captions are different. The image doesn’t really have anything to do with my post. I was just using it as “decoration.” I will try including the image within my post in the future.
    Thanks for responding.

    No problem, Debbie.

    Unless it is a custom feature of a particular theme, captions won’t show up for the Featured Image. That’s why I mentioned that ‘I didn’t see any images where a caption might be displayed”.

    So +1 on being right about that assumption! ;)

    Sounds like you have it sorted then.
