 * I was tipped your plugin ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfLOH22cUNM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfLOH22cUNM))
   and it looks and works awesome, but I seem to be missing captions. All of my 
   images have the alt text set and they show as captions when using another plugin(
   Firelight Lightbox).

 * Hi [@vespino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vespino/),
 * If you add the description below the Image in the Block Editor, it should be 
   shown inside the lightbox. If not, please send me an example.
 * Thank you for the link to the video. Did know about it. Awesome video 🙂

 * That’s not an option as we would have to add this to every image. That is why
   I have implemented the underlaying lightbox (baguetteBox.js) directly in my theme
   and got it working with a few lines of code. Only thing I’m facing is an issue
   with my fixed bootstrap header. Hope they can fix it some time.

 * Great that you found a solution.
 * Another option would be to use the filter `baguettebox_captions` [https://github.com/goaround/gallery-block-lightbox/blob/c4c72f1b86c82f9f8e6c1f0cdd5e94e2331ed0a1/gallery-block-lightbox.php#L50](https://github.com/goaround/gallery-block-lightbox/blob/c4c72f1b86c82f9f8e6c1f0cdd5e94e2331ed0a1/gallery-block-lightbox.php#L50)
