 * Sometimes I need a linebreak in a caption. If I edit the caption in Foogallery,
   the code for the break disappears.
   Right nog I have to find the image in the 
   media library and edit the caption there. This works, but takes a lot more time
   then when I can edit the caption in the gallery itself.Is it possible to fix 
   this?
 * Thanks!!

 * Hi [@omniafausta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omniafausta/)
 * I have attempted to replicate this but have been unable to do so. The linebreak
   options added never disappear. Here’s a screenshot on how I’ve added it and how
   it appears on the gallery page and when opened in the lightbox:

 * Just so that I can be aware of how you add the line break, kindly paste an entire
   caption with the linebreak code added here so that I can analyse it before I 
   can advise on this.

 * Hi Elvis,
   Thanks for looking into this.I have looked at your screenshots and 
   see you have used the description field, while I use the caption field. Indeed
   a break in the description field does not disappear, but in the caption it does.
   But I don’t want to move the text of hundreds of images from the caption to the
   description :SIs it possible for you to check if the problem can be replicated
   if you use the caption field? Thanks!

 * hi [@omniafausta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/omniafausta/)
 * Unfortunately, this is not available in the current version, but there is a workaround
   that will work for you in the mean time:
 * Goto FooGallery Settings -> Advanced Attachment Modal and set it to Disabled.
   That will bring back the built-in WP attachment editor on the FooGallery edit
   page, which allows captions to be saved with line breaks.
