Can you verify that you have entered either a Title, Caption, and/or a Description on those images as referenced here: http://d.pr/i/iWUS
If all those fields are blank (when setting up your gallery), there will be nothing displayed in the description area of the Carousel.
If you can take your own screenshots for selected photos that work and don’t work, I’ll be happy to take a closer look.
Thanks!

I only want text to appear in the Description.
This one works. It has text in the Title, Caption, and Description.

This one does not works. It has text only in the Description. But when I added text to the Title and Caption as well, the text in the Description would appear.

I made a screen shot of the pages with the Edit Gallery section.

Thanks for that screenshot.
By default, having only the description filled out will show in the Carousel – you can enable the Twenty Fourteen theme to see (if you haven’t modified any of the core Jetpack files).
This means you probably have some custom CSS or JavaScript that is affecting/hiding the description section when the Title or Caption is not set. Check for something affecting .jp-carousel-titleanddesc or something similar – you would have to check your customizations to be sure. Custom CSS and JavaScript work is customization beyond the scope of support we provide.
I hope that helps you get started.

I’ll check the code, but it’s strange that the description appears on some caurosel slides and not on others. It should be the same on all pages. I add modifications to the CSS in thr WP admin. Can I send you the code or can you review it in Chrome?

No, as I said earlier – CSS review is beyond the scope of support we can provide.
It’s displaying on the other slides because you have a Title and/or Caption set. Thus, something in your code is hiding the description when a Title and/or Caption is not set. You would need to review your code to see where that item is defined.
I hope that clarifies things.

I reviewed the .jp-carousel-titleanddesc
These could be causing the problem, but I should not have to include text in the Title, Caption, and Description for text to appear. I only want the text in Descriptions so it appears in the slideshow. I was able to do this on other websites.
.jp-carousel-titleanddesc p:empty {
display: none;
}
}
.jp-carousel-titleanddesc-title {
font: 300 1.5em/1.1 "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif !important;
text-transform: none !important; /* prevents uppercase from leaking through */
color: #fff;
margin: 0 0 15px;
padding:0;
}

Let me know if you see the text description in red at
http://dev.nataliebork.com/#jp-carousel-909 and http://dev.nataliebork.com/portfolio/cylinders-in-process/
I did not change the code in jetpack-carousel.css.
I added this to in Appearance > Theme Options > Custom CSS
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-info h2,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-titleanddesc,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-titleanddesc p,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-comment,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-comment p,
.jp-carousel-light div.jp-carousel-buttons a,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-titleanddesc p strong,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-titleanddesc p b,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-titleanddesc p em,
.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-titleanddesc p i {
color: #F00;
}

You can get answers to your questions in the Themes and Templates forum. Since you already started a thread there, you can ask more questions to get further assistance: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-color-and-font-in-css-stylesheet-editor?replies=5
Hi Carolyn!
I have kind of same problem.
I use Custom Comunity theme, and as I deleted some of the code from carousel ‘coz I didn’t want the comment section, I also accidentally deleted the code for the description section.
I wonder if there is somewhere the original code so I can fix it?
Cheers!
