Lots of posts on this:

Unfortunately none of them are marked Resolved, which means you’ll have to sift through them to see if any of them contain an answer.
Thanks Jonas,
Yeah these are great. I tried looking through all these before. Not even sure which one makes sense. Or where to look in my own template editor. Is it under Feature.php? I now these are basic questions but that’s why I am here.
It seems like nobody has found a way so far. I also checked the Codex and didn’t find anything.
Ug Ok thanks. Maybe they will update it in a future release! Do you know How I can reach out to the developers?
Submitted at ticket for this. maybe they can add to next version.
There is an area in these forums for Feature Requests and Feedback.

It should be possible to do this by using get_post_thumbnail_id and get_posts.
function get_post_thumbnail_caption() {
if ( $thumb = get_post_thumbnail_id() )
return get_post( $thumb )->post_excerpt;
Then you can just do something along the lines of:
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail( 'medium' );
echo wpautop( get_post_thumbnail_caption() );
}
This is what support has provided. Now where do I put this? Below is what I have in my feature.php

Add the following to your functions.php file:
function get_post_thumbnail_caption() {
if ( $thumb = get_post_thumbnail_id() )
return get_post( $thumb )->post_excerpt;
}
And then in your feature.php file, find <?php echo $slide_image_thumbnail; ?>, and add the following below:
<?php echo wpautop( get_post_thumbnail_caption() ); ?>
That should do the trick.
Yep I did it an nothing happened. Strange. At least it did not change anything 🙂
Here is the original Featured.php code on pastebin

So I am still trying to figure this out. It’s really important to give people credit for their art even if it’s under CC domain. I would like to ensure that I sight sources on the pics on my site. I tried the above suggestions but to no avail. I posted the code that I have above in a paste bin. Can someone drop the code in. Thanks.
