 * So far I used NextGen with the Alt/Title Text as caption under my images and 
   the image description as subtitle of the slideshow.
 * Since I did upgrade Nextgen, all my galleries are vandalized. Now the description
   is the caption, and I want to use Nextcellent instead.
 * But how can use the Alt/Title Text as caption?

 * If you want to display the title as a caption, you’ll need to make a custom template.
 * If you tell me what shortcode (e.g. [nggallery id=XX]), I can do it for you.

 * I just use usual shortcodes, [nggallery id=1 template=caption], [nggallery id
   =2 template=caption], etc.

 * Sorry it took a while, but here it is. Follow these steps:
    1. [Download this file](https://bitbucket.org/niknetniko/nextcellent/downloads/gallery-altcaption.php)
    2. Upload it to a folder called ngg_styles (inside the wp-content folder). You 
       may have to make the folder yourself.
    3. Use this shortcode: [nggallery id=1 template=altcaption]

    Your template
   does work fine, thank you! However, there is a bug when inserting a NextCellent
   Gallery to a post or page. In the Add Media interface, it says: “Display types
   Select how you want to display your gallery:” You can select “Custom” and then
   you see: Type options Template name: However, if I type “altcaption” in that 
   Template name field, upon Insert, this is what gets inserted in my post or page:[
   nggallery id=1 template=other] Why “other” rather than “altcaption” as I want?

 * This is indeed a bug, I’ll take a look to fix this. Meanwhile you will have to
   manually set the template.
 * My apologies for the inconvenience.

 * Thanks for your answer, niknetniko. It’s only a small inconvenience but it would
   be nice if you could fix the pb.
