# Captions and Hover

 * Hi, I have a couple of questions that I’m hoping there is a fix for.
 * 1. When I hover over a thumbnail in a gallery there is a popup that shows the
   caption. I’d like to disable this so there would be no popup when hovering. Is
   that doable?
 * 2. When one clicks on a thumbnail to get the larger image, the caption is over
   the bottom section of the image. Is it possible to position the caption block
   so that it would be below the image instead of over it?
 * Thanks,
    G.

 * Hello [@gapd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gapd/),
 * 1- The alt tags you’re seeing are required by browsers nowadays. We don’t have
   any options or the ability to remove those, unfortunately. I hope this helps 
   clarify
 * 2- It seems that you are currently using our simplelightbox effect. You can, 
   of course, try to use some CSS customization to relocated that HTML element. 
   Nevertheless, my advice will be for you to take a look at our existing lightbox
   Effects.
    Per has you would like to test Fancybox? Go to Gallery > Other Options
   > Lightbox Effects.
 * We hope that this helps! Feel free to write us back; we are happy to help!

 * Hi, thanks for the response. It seems that simplelightbox is the only one that
   shows the caption at all. I don’t want to lose the caption, but just move it 
   so that it is not covering up part of the image.
 * Would you perhaps have css code that would move it to below the image?
    Thanks,
   G.

 * We haven’t tested it but you can try to add the following CSS rule to “Gallery-
   > Other Options -> Styles” to see if it will help move the captions below the
   image with SimpleLightbox:
 *     ```
       .sl-wrapper .sl-image .sl-caption {
           position: relative !important;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks! That seems to have done the trick.
