 * As a heads up (not sure if you switched plugins / still using it / still have
   the issue), but I found that if you put the caption in the “alt text” field, 
   it shows up in the lightbox again. Not a great answer for large galleries, but
   at least it’s a work around.

 * I have the same issue!
    The workaround is nice, but I have a huge [picture Trump
   pronunciation here] gallery. Is this an issue with the gallery? Captions are 
   an essential part of the gallery. Please help!
