Title: Captions & Templates Last modified: January 18, 2020 --- # Captions & Templates * Resolved [alFrame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alframe/) * (@alframe) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captions-templates/) * Hi there, * Is captions under images only achievable by using the legacy template?? Or worse, is it a pro feature?? * Problem is that it seems that the legacy template is using some other form of responsive css code. * I managed to make the gallery look nice on different screen sizes by changing some of the css using the “new” template. [https://www.janine-cristina-hemmi.ch/](https://www.janine-cristina-hemmi.ch/) * But that css does not work if I use the legacy template including the captions. [https://www.janine-cristina-hemmi.ch/raku-keramik-bestellen/](https://www.janine-cristina-hemmi.ch/raku-keramik-bestellen/) * Besides the image not being centered above the caption, the page is not responsive at all and images stay in 5 columns. Strange design decision in 2020 and mobile first area… * To display captions should simply be an option (checkbox) when inserting a gallery and not a complete different template and legacy on top of that. * I guess I am missing something obvious here. * Thanks, Alex * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcaptions-templates%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [alFrame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alframe/) * (@alframe) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captions-templates/#post-12340440) * Addendum: I managed to center the image and the caption. * And here’s the gallery insert short code: [ngg src=”galleries” ids=”19″ display =”basic_thumbnail” override_thumbnail_settings=”1″ thumbnail_width=”180″ thumbnail_height =”180″ images_per_page=”200″ number_of_columns=”5″ show_slideshow_link=”0″ template =”/home/hemmispa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/ modules/ngglegacy/view/gallery-caption.php”] * Maybe this helps.

In case someone is trying to archive a similar result, here are the steps with our Free version: * – Use our “Basic Thumbnails” display. – Select the option “NextGen Legacy Gallery caption”. Note: The information that will be used for that gallery display it’s the “caption” or description in your photograph. * Would you like to see other galleries templates in NextGEN Gallery? Please, feel free to use this feature request form: [https://www.imagely.com/feature-voting/](https://www.imagely.com/feature-voting/) * Thread Starter [alFrame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alframe/) * (@alframe) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captions-templates/#post-12346402) * Thank you for getting back to me! * That’s exactly what I did, but the rows stay with 5 columns each when viewed on smaller screens, or resize the browser window. * I figured that if I set the columns to “0” (zero) instead of “5” they do rearrange correctly. * However, I don’t seem to be able to center the gallery when there’s 4, 3, 2 or one column. * Thanks, Alex * [Mihai Ceban](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihaiimagely/) * (@mihaiimagely) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captions-templates/#post-12347535) * Hi [@alframe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alframe/), * You can try to center the thumbnails for the mobile screens by adding the CSS media query from below to “Gallery -> Other Options -> Styles”: * [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)(max-width: 400px) { .ngg- gallery-thumbnail-box { float: none !important; } * .ngg-galleryoverview { text-align: center; }} * Thread Starter [alFrame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alframe/) * (@alframe) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captions-templates/#post-12349510) * Thank you! * That works nicely below 200 pixels. But not above. Also taking the following outside the media query doesn’t help. * .ngg-galleryoverview { text-align: center; } * The columns change from 6 to 4 to 3 to 2 but not centered and then centered once it’s reduced to 1 column. Which in general is breaking the design as we have 4 columns on all other galleries of the page i.e. [https://www.janine-cristina-hemmi.ch/bilder/](https://www.janine-cristina-hemmi.ch/bilder/) * Those pages use the: Select View – “default-view.php” and the Legacy (Old) Templates–“ Standard” settings. I assume this is using the v3 and above template architecture, right? * I also changed the page to not use wpbakery page builder, but that didn’t change a thing. * Why is there no caption template using the (I assume) new templates in Imagely? * I guess I am still missing something. * Thanks, Alex * [Mihai Ceban](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihaiimagely/) * (@mihaiimagely) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captions-templates/#post-12352286) * Hi [@alframe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alframe/), * The “Legacy (Old) Templates” weren’t updated for a while and respectively those may not behave in the same responsive manner as the main default template does but you can add the CSS rule to fix this problem: * .ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box { display: inline-block; float: none; vertical-align: middle; } * Thread Starter [alFrame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alframe/) * (@alframe) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/captions-templates/#post-12354896) * [@mihaiimagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihaiimagely/) Thank you! * That plus some media queries fixed the problem.
