  I recently put together a gallery for my blog, but my captions are not displaying. I tried posting it anyway, to see if after posting, when I scrolled over the images that the captions would appear like they usually do. But they still aren’t there. Help!

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

  Please post the URL for the post or page with the gallery you created where we can see what you refer to.

  I believe this is how McKinley’s special slideshows work, which is different than the regular Gallery “slideshow”, which does display captions.

  If you want to check this out, change the Post Format of that post to something other than “Gallery”.

  Hi Catherine – I just did some testing and also verified with our developers, and what justjennifer said is correct: McKinley’s special galleries do not display captions. If you need captions in your galleries a different theme might better suit your needs.
