Im not seeing captions at all, but most commonly this is because the style needed for the WP caption is not there in your site styles.
You can add this to your style.css for a baseline caption style.
.wp-caption {
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding: 4px;
margin: 10px;
}
.wp-caption img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0 none;
}
.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 17px;
padding: 0 4px 5px;
margin: 0;
}
Hi, thanks for responding. I added this code in but nothing changed. You can see the page again here: http://alexistmyers.com/test/ Any other ideas of code that will make the captions work right?
I dont see any WP post image captions on this page.
Yes, that’s the point. They don’t look like captions, but I assure you, when I uploaded the image I added the text in the caption section, but it’s sitting below the image as if it’s simply separate text. I would show you a screenshot of what it looks like in the page edit back end, but I can’t upload images here.
And just to be clear, we are looking at the 2 images that are located BELOW the slider. You’ll see the image and then below it you’ll see text that is seemingly separate from the image, but I have actually put that text in the caption area of the image.
Under the first image the caption text is “Opt-in form customized and added to existing image. Header image created by Karmen Lizzul of Clear Creative Coaching.” And under the second image the cation text is ” Opt-in form customized and entire image created to fit around it”
Any suggestions?
The source i am seeing isnt showing the captions as WP normally would. It looks like text just under the photo in the code.
Captions normally look like this:
[caption id="attachment_141" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="caption text"]<img class="size-full wp-image-141" title="pic title" src="http://www.summitcove.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/img1.jpg" alt="alt text" width="400" height="300" />[/caption]
Its possible your theme has a function removing the HTML that WP would normally be generating.
In your themes functions.php file, can you search for either img_caption_shortcode or caption?
Ok, first here is the code for the first image that is located under the slider:
[caption id="attachment_2051" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]<img class=”size-large wp-image-2051 ” alt=”Clear_Creative_Coaching_Opt-In_Form” src=”http://alexistmyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Clear_Creative_Coaching_Opt-In_Form-1024×304.png” width=”1024″ height=”304″ data-id=”2051″ /> Opt-in form customized and added to existing image. Header image created by Karmen Lizzul of Clear Creative Coaching.[/caption]
So you’ll see it does still have that caption code you were looking for, but somehow it’s still not showing up.
Secondly, I’m using the Thesis theme. I searched for both things you listed above but neither of them were found.
I also should mention, I’ve been having problems with 2 specific plugins that have affected the PHP code on my site. Maybe this is the problem? I installed Cyclone Slider 2, that would not work correctly until I adjusted PHP code in my GC Testimonials plugin. Now they are both working correctly but I recently noticed that the footer content I had is no longer showing (it was legal information and a menu navigation links), and possibly it’s causing this problem with the captions too? Do you think this could be it?
Is it possible to quickly switch to twentythirteen theme then look at your test page?
Ok, I did that (after putting my “Coming Soon” page up) and I saw that the captions did show when I was using the Twenty Thirteen theme. So that means Thesis is not allowing them to show. Thanks for taking me through this. I guess I’ll have to either post in the Thesis forum, or create the images so they appear to have a caption the way I want them to.
Glad we at least found the issue. I assume there is a function somewhere in thesis removing the html from the WP generated caption shortcode.
hopefully you can find some help in the thesis support forums, im not too familiar with that theme at this level and im not finding much in google searches.
I am having this same issue on the Twenty Thirteen theme. The image captions just are not appearing when inserting a gallery. see here:

I wish I could help, but I just wanted to say, nice work! I love your seashell designs. 🙂 Hopefully one of these gurus can step in and help you.
image captions do not show on gallery photos in the grid view. They look to be showing on the lightbox view.
Image captions would be visible on single images.
I am trying to remove the “prices” that appear in some of my captions but don’t know where to go. I have looked everywhere.
You can see what I mean if you follow the links below :

I want to change “prices from £889)
