Hi, you can add captions to the slides using a custom slideshow template, to animate them you would have to use some custom jQuery.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I’m trying to follow the instructions from this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8
I copied the css code into the style.css file from my child theme, I copied the_post_thumbnail_caption(); function exatcly as typed in the post (without any addition) into my functions.php in my child theme but nothing happens. It seems like the function is not triggered like a add_filter() or add_action() is missing.
Do you know what I’m missing here to add the caption?
If you can, i would use the slide post title as the slide caption, it is easier to setup and easier to manage. I have a captions slideshow skin that you drop into your theme to enable these type of captions.

Thanks, I have my titles/captions displayed with CSS (very easy to do), I’m really interested in the text animation (title and caption), like making the title going from right to left and stop. I’m not using the function described in this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8
so I guess I can’t use the code you mentioned in the link above:
before: function () {
...
}
because I have no “function”, unfortunately it seems the solution of my problem lies there. What kind of js code would I need here?
I set up a testing website so you can see what I’m talking about: http://mywptestsite.is-great.org/lalala/
Thanks in advance!
Hey sorry for the delay, you can totally use that code as a starting place to animate the captions, the first post in that thread is about adding captions, the second one is a different thing about the animated captions:

You’ll need to change those position values, but it’ll get you started. I have animated the captions on a few project, so if you need something different I might have a better starting point.
