Hi @georgepennet, the caption you see on the images is stored as an attribute for the attachment. The new translation will only apply to new images, as when you download them, the caption is generated. That is the only time the auto-generated text is used(hence why you probably changed the translation, but nothing changed).
However, for the old images, you would need to search and replace them inside the database for the attachments. The caption will show up in the post_excerpt column.
I hope this helps, if you have any further questions, please reopen the ticket.
Thank you,
Ionut
Thank you for the reply. After i changed the translation I download new images and caption was still the same. It was still “Photo by” instead of my translation. I checked the caption in media library. I understand that it will not affect previously downloaded images. I’ll test it again tomorrow morning and let you know.
I see, if the issue persists, could you please reach out via the contact form on https://stockpack.co/contact? I would like to see how I could have a closer look at the issue.
Thank you,
Ionut
Hey. yeah I still have this issue. I tried to contact you via URL you gave me but no one replied so far.
Im not sure how it’s even possible because like I said I changed that “photo by” literally everywhere.. I have indeed total cache plugin but this shouldn’t interfere with wp-admin. I cleared that cache even multiple times just in case.
Hi @georgepennet I replied, not sure why it didn’t got to you, might be in spam, I will try to email you again.
Just sent you an email, let me know if you got it.
I figured it out. I removed the translations completely, reinstall the plugin and it works now :). Thanks. One more thing. When I download an image I would like to leave only “Source: Pexels” instead of Photo by “Name_of_author” on Pexels. In short I want to remove the “Name_of_author” on”. Is it even possible?

Hi @georgepennet, glad to hear you sorted it out. For captions there’s a filter, you can change it. You can seem some samples here: https://stockpack.co/blog/changing-the-automated-captions/
If you can’t make it work, let me know,
Ionut
