* Hey, excellent plug-in and super-easy. Referring to a previous question about
removing “Image” from the captions ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-in-front-of-title-and-number-on-fancybox-overlay/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-in-front-of-title-and-number-on-fancybox-overlay/))
I would like to remove the image numbers too, eg 1/13. Is there some custom CSS
for this?
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-image-number%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
to see the link]_

* Actually you cannot do it with CSS.
* A quick fix would be to edit the file lightbox.php, lines 144-148 from this:
* ```
$gall .= '
,
"titleFormat" : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
return "'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').' "+(currentIndex+1)+" / " + currentArray.length + (title.length ? " " + title : "") + "";
}';
```
* to this:
* ```
$gall .= '
,
"titleFormat" : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
return "'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').' "+(currentIndex+1)+" / " + currentArray.length + (title.length ? " " + title : "") + "";
}';
```
* (the first tag has been moved a bit further in the line).
It might be
interesting to integrate this in the next release and removing the useless “Image”
hidden text.
* The above fix is untested, but it should work. Let me know if it worked for you.

* The safest way is to access your site’s files via FTP and you will find it into
wp-content/plugins/simplest-gallery
* There is also an editor in the backend (menu Plugin->Plugin editor, then select
Simplest Gallery and that file).
* Anyway please be advised that this requires a minimum of programming skills.
With PHP files it is sufficient to put a character in the wrong position and
your site might stop working (if it happens, use FTP to delete the plugin folder,
then reinstall and redo).
* Cheers

* cleoni thanks but this didn’t work. It didn’t remove the ‘Image x/x’ from the
captions.

* I see. Let me check it on my own site.
I think this fix would be beneficial
to all for the next release. This image numbering is something which I would
get gladly rid of.

* Hello, I have made a change in order to remove image number where a title has
been set for the image (it will however show “Image N / NN” if no title has been
set).
* The change will be incorporated in the next release but since I don’t know when
it will happen, and since it’s possible that in your website the code of lightbox
has been twekaed already, I recommend you apply this fix simply by changing the
lines 147-149 from:
* ```
"titleFormat" : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
return "'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').' "+(currentIndex+1)+" / " + currentArray.length + (title.length ? " " + title : "") + "";
}';
```
* to this:
* ```
"titleFormat" : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
return "" + (title.length ? title : ("'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').'" +(currentIndex+1)+" / "+currentArray.length) ) + "";
}';
```
* Apply this fix on the file **lightbox.php**.
Save and then test.
* If it works, and you don’t wont the “Image #” to appear _at all in any case_,
even when there is no title for the image, you can further replace this part
* `+ (title.length ? title : ("'.__('Image','simplest-gallery').'" +(currentIndex
+1)+" / "+currentArray.length) ) +`
* with this
* `+ title +`
* You can see the fix in action at this page: [https://vic20reloaded.com/vic-20-cartridge-games-collection-1a/](https://vic20reloaded.com/vic-20-cartridge-games-collection-1a/)
as you can see “Image N / NN” before the title does not appear.
* Hope it helps!
