Hi there!
I understand you’re having trouble finding the settings for the title that appears below the product image when you enlarge it using the magnifying glass.
To assist you further, could you please provide more information on exactly what changes you’d like to make to the title appearing below the image?
If the title is not appearing below the image when you enlarge it using the magnifying glass, or if you’d like to change the title, you can follow these steps:
- From your site dashboard, navigate to Media.
- Select the image you want to edit the title for, then change the image caption. By default, the image caption will appear below the image when you enlarge it using the magnifying glass, as shown in this screenshot: Screenshot Link.
If there’s something else you’re looking for, could you please provide more information so we can investigate further and assist you accordingly?
Hello Shahzeen,
Thanks for your quick reply. I don’t want a title to be displayed under the image. However, the problem only occurs when I enlarge the image using the magnifying glass. Best regards, Gerd
Hi there!
I understand that the issue only occurs when you enlarge the product image using the magnifying glass. However, I’m not entirely sure what the exact problem is. Are you trying to hide the title that appears below the image when it’s enlarged?
If so, the steps I mentioned earlier should help you change or remove the title. To delete the title, you would need to remove the caption from that product image by following the instructions I shared above.
If you’re experiencing a different issue, could you please explain a bit more about what’s happening with the title when you enlarge the image? This will help us better understand and assist you.
Hello Shahzeen
Thanks again for your reply. I deleted the caption from the image and it works. I don’t know if I’m allowed to do that because I have an affiliate site and the images are from Amazon. I read that you can’t delete or change anything in the images. Okay, I didn’t change the filename of the image, I just deleted the image title. I don’t know if the images will be checked when Amazon audits my website? Sorry for the grammar, I have to translate the text from German to English. Regards, Gerd
Hi @schischi31 ,
Thanks so much for reaching out — and truly, no need to worry about your English at all. You’re communicating clearly, and that’s what matters most.
I hear you’re running into an issue where the image title shows up below the product image when using the magnifying glass feature. It sounds like you found that removing the image caption helps — but you’re also trying to stay on the safe side with Amazon’s affiliate policies, which makes total sense.
When it comes to using Amazon product images, their rules are pretty specific. They do allow you to display their product images on your site, but they ask that the images remain exactly as provided — that includes keeping things like captions, titles, or any embedded info unchanged. So, even though removing the caption might fix the visual glitch, that could technically count as altering the image, which Amazon might not allow. If you’d like to dive deeper into that, this guide explains it well: https://azonpress.com/can-i-use-amazon-product-images-on-my-affiliate-website/
That said, there’s a workaround that won’t affect the image file itself — you can use a little CSS to hide the caption on your site without removing it. That way, the image stays intact for Amazon’s guidelines, but it also won’t clutter the design for your visitors.
If you’re open to it, feel free to share a link to your site and a product page where the issue shows up. We’d be happy to take a look and help you with the CSS. Or if you’d prefer to try it yourself, here’s a helpful guide to get you started with adding custom CSS on your site: https://wordpress.com/support/editing-css/#access-the-css-editor

hello Jonayed,
Thank you very much for your reply and offered help. I’m currently building my website and don’t want to post a link online, since my website is still under construction. Once I’m finished with the site, I would be very happy if you could send me the appropriate code. I’ll get back to you then. Thank you again.
Best regards, Gerd
Hi there!
You’re most welcome! In the meantime, if you’d like to hide the caption that appears under the image when it’s enlarged (after clicking the mirror icon), you can try adding the following CSS to your site:
.pswp__caption {
display: none !important;
}
If that does not help, please complete your site and shared the site link so we can provide exact code.
Thank you
Hello Shazeen
Thanks for your quick reply. Where exactly should I insert the CSS? Can you give me some instructions? Sorry, I’m a complete beginner.
Best regards, Gerd
Hi @schischi31,
Thank you for your message, and no worries at all; you’re doing great asking the right questions, and I’m happy to guide you through it step by step.
To add the CSS code and hide the caption that appears when you enlarge the product image, follow these steps:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard.
- On the left menu, click Appearance, then choose Customize.
- In the Customizer panel, scroll down and click on Additional CSS.
- In the text box that appears, paste the following code:
.pswp__caption {
display: none !important;
}
- You should immediately see a preview on the right where the caption disappears.
- Click the Publish button at the top to save your changes.
That’s it, the caption should now be hidden from your image popup without removing it from the image settings.
