Is there any Plugin or technique to allow a Caption to be placed under an image, instead of the details only being visible with Mouse-overs or on a separate page.
We need to include Copyright details even under a thumbnail (requirement for a German Website) and cannot figure out how to achieve this!
Thanks

I have just seen a technique described for CSS using Definition Lists to achieve this.
Can I just build this into my CSS, and add it into the coding, or could someone build a plug-in?
Thanks

I would like to know if anyone can answer this as well. I would certainly like to be able to include captions under images.

Oh! I really need this as well. Something like Wikipedia has, with the pretty little captions under thumbnails and whatnot. Here is an example (on the right).

I wish I knew how to code! I think everyone would want this plug-in. Does anyone know if this is even possible?
Anyone?
You can find info on:

it can be ported to a plugin i guess

I checked out dbasulto's suggestion---looks like it would be pretty slick if I was smart enough to follow it. If I try, there would most likely be a lot of damage done.
So ad my vote for a plugin that allows captions.... or a simple work around.

I'm voting with you. There are photos can not use without crediting the supplier. In lieu of a plugin, what are people currently doing to caption?

would be good to be able to do the caption AND a photo credit ... something there's not enough of in blogging frankly (imho).
here's a good example of a site that uses wp 1.5 for something that makes a decent model:
You know, you could easily do this with CSS. Whenever you put an image in your post, place the caption beneath it. There's several ways to do it, but you could encapsulate it in a div. So, in your post:
<div class="caption">
<img src="image.gif" />
caption text here
</div>In your stylesheet:
div.caption {
width:auto;
float:left;
font-size:0.8em;
text-align:center;
}That's it. Now your image is floated left, with caption text.

hmm, i'll give that a try. i am just learnin' my css. is there a way to put something on top as well?
Just post the text before the image, not after.

Try the Image Caption Easy plugin, it will automatically format image captions for you: http://imagecaptioneasy.contentspring.com/.
