  Great stuff. Love the plugin, and thanks for giving good info on aligning it properly. Far too many plugin designers throw their script out there and never think about it again. Yours does the business.

  Thanks.

  What if you don’t want captions on all your photos. Is there a way to remove the default caption of “undefined”? Thanks :)

• Adam Goldsztajn // Mar 10, 2008 at 8:12 am

  

  Very nice, clean and simple plugin. Much appreciated.

• Skippern // Mar 14, 2008 at 3:56 pm

  

  It is a nice plugin, but I would like to see it allowing me to use settings from the theme CSS file, instead of an independent CSS. The same goes for a few other plugins utilizing CSS, please plugin writers, allow us to use theme CSS if we want!

• Charles // Mar 18, 2008 at 10:26 am

  

  Great plugin, works very well. One question: I’ve noticed that the plugin strips the title attribute out of the img code and places it in a separate div. Is there any way that it can just copy it and put it in the div instead of removing it all together, so that the img code maintains the title attribute?

• Jarjac // Mar 21, 2008 at 12:54 pm

  

  A truly wonderful plugin. I have a question. If I want to put a link in the caption of the photo, can it be done?

• Erwan // Mar 26, 2008 at 10:36 am

  

  Hello,
  Maybe you could give me a little help. I am trying your plugin, it works fine except I have a little trouble: once activated, each single image with a title tag get a caption AND a border around the image. The border is blue in Internet Explorer, and in another color in FF. Take a look at this page and you will understand what I mean:

  http://www.iconique.net/oh-six-fois-rien/

  That’s strange because I didn’t put a border on any image on my blog before. I use your plugin with Lighbox, but tryed also while desactivating Lightbox, activating another similar plugin “Shutter Reloaded”, desactivating both… So I guess this trouble come from your plugin.

  This is how I modified my CSS (as you will see I have tryed to add some border="none";, but it doesn’t work better…):
  div.img div {
border: none;
font-family: Georgia, Times, Serif;
font-style: italic;
font-size: 0.9em;
line-height: 1.2em;
text-align: right;
color: #003333;
background-color: #ccffff;
border-top: 0px solid #f2f0d9;
border-bottom: 1px solid #99cccc;
padding: 0 0 6px 0;
margin-top: 4px; }

  Just another little thing: don’t look at the first image on my post (there’s no title tag, that’s a will) but any of the following ones. Thanks!

• eyn // Mar 27, 2008 at 12:07 am

  

  edraid, not sure what you mean there, there is no default caption of “undefined”.

  Skippern, not quite sure what you mean there either. If you want to use your own CSS, just set $ic_mycss to 1.

  Charles, I’ll try to add the option to not strip out the title tags in the future updates.

  Jarjac, right now it is not possible to add links in the caption, I am thinking of adding bbcode support for the title attribute to solve this problem, I’ll see if I can get that implemented.

  Erwan, try this CSS code: div.img img { border: 0; }

• Erwan // Mar 27, 2008 at 7:19 am

  

  Hello Eyn, thank you so much for your quick help, it works perfectly now.

• Jorge // Apr 1, 2008 at 9:26 pm

  

  I’ve noticed that the plugin only works if you use regular quotes (”) in your img tag. If single quotes (’) are used (like the default WP code from the uploader, then the plugin doesn’t work.

• Steve // Apr 9, 2008 at 12:45 pm

  

  I like the plugin for the areas I want it to work. However not all my images need captions. Solution: after inserting an image in a post, view the html and remove the title.

  As Charles mentioned, I would prefer to keep the title tag with the image instead of being stripped. And I’d like to keep titles for all images regardless of whether using the caption or not.

  Is it possible for future updates to pull a caption from the description or alt tag, without stripping these values?

• eyn // Apr 10, 2008 at 10:48 am

  

  Thanks for the suggestions, I will eventually add the option to let user select which tag should the plugin use for generating the caption, let it be “alt”, “title”, or “longdesc”. An option to toggle stripping of those tag used for caption will also be added. Lastly, I will also look into adding link support within caption as previously mentioned.

  And Jorge, thanks for the bug report, I will look into that and fix it in the next version.

  fyi, I have a plan to add a showcase gallery of CSS styles that one can use to style his caption and image container. I’ll see if I can somehow get some plugin users to contribute their caption styling.

• thegirlinthecafe // Apr 11, 2008 at 12:21 pm

  

  Wow, this is such an awesome plugin. Easy to install, but what great effect. Thank you very much!

• Mosey // Apr 22, 2008 at 6:19 am

  

  Just wondering: is this plugin compatible with WP 2.5? If so, it would be great if this info was updated on the WP Extend Plugin database :)

• mari // Apr 24, 2008 at 6:42 pm

  

  Seems to work with 2.5, Mosey. At least, it’s generating captions.

  However, while I was able to turn off the default CSS and get rid of the background color/border, “div.img img” doesn’t seem to be working within my theme CSS. It just uses my usual theme settings, which is not really what I want in a caption.

  Anybody got any suggestions?

• Mosey // Apr 24, 2008 at 9:35 pm

  

  @Mari: Thank you! :) Actually I did test it on a local installation and it does work as well (just kind of forgot to come back and post :D) I’m quite impressed by the default CSS and haven’t actually altered it. I will try and take a look over the w/e though.

• mari // Apr 24, 2008 at 10:10 pm

  

  Something clicked after I went away and worked on something else — I just modified the default CSS and it matches my site quite nicely now. Might spend some time working it into a theme someday, when I get around to developing themes. :)

  This is an awesome little plugin, and as a moderator I really appreciate that it’s so easy for the authors under me to use. Most of them aren’t tech savvy, and this is the first plugin I’ve been able to let them use on their own. :-D

• Mosey // Apr 25, 2008 at 9:41 am

  

  That happens to me a lot actually :D It’s quite amazing how going away and then coming back resolves so many issues! I remember quite vividly how one time I wrestled with some CSS display for about 2 hours, gave up, came up a bit later and realised I had mistyped one entry. Wow… my stupidity amazes me sometimes ^^

  I absolutely agree that this is awesome. I hadn’t realised really how straightforward it was until I tested it and the results were instantaneous (Can’t be said for quite a number of plugins) :) I’m worried about letting people loose on my site precisely because I’m worried about how it will all turn out, so it’s reassuring to hear your comment about Image Caption:)

  p/s: Your blog looks pretty interesting! :)

• mari // Apr 25, 2008 at 12:32 pm

  

  Exactly. I usually go back a bit later and find out I’ve left out a ; or something obvious.

  Tx. about the blog! We’ll be running CD giveaways starting in a few weeks. :)

• Duncan Boan // Apr 29, 2008 at 6:31 pm

  

  This is a nice plugin - and with a very minor hack I was able to create a link for Flikr credits. I just wrapped {$title} between {$anchor} and {$anchor_close} and presto!

  Thanks for this.

• Vernal // May 2, 2008 at 11:10 am

  

  Hey there,

  This plugin is really nice! I wanted to add my 2 cents for support for the Alt parameter. It is what 2.5 uses by default. Thanks!

• Chris // Jun 9, 2008 at 8:38 am

  

  I run a news mag and am using the Image Caption plugin for photos in blogs - works well so far. Unfortunately the TITLE attribute shows in my excerpt / brief that appears on my index page, and I’m going crazy trying to figure out how to solve this problem.

  Any suggestions?

• Dino // Jun 12, 2008 at 10:24 pm

  

  Hi. Nice plugin. I have a few questions though, when I deactivated the plugin, there are some remnants of code that is left. The with inline styling is still there. How could I remove that?

• thiefhunter // Jun 16, 2008 at 12:30 am

  

  This is so ALMOST great. One big problem prevents me from leaving the plugin activated, even long enough to let you see the result. All’s well, except for leading — the space between the lines of text. In each paragraph that contains an image, the line spacing is tight — not what it is supposed to be. Then the following paragraph (if it does not contain an image), goes back to proper line spacing. This happens whether I have mycss set to 1 or 0.

  Please don’t say something as vague as “edit the css.” I need a little more guidance than that, if possible. Otherwise, the plugin is exactly what I want. Sorry you can’t see the messy text. It’s too uneven for me to leave. I see that you’re very responsive. Thank you for caring!

• Kevin // Jun 16, 2008 at 1:42 pm

  

  I have the same problem as Chris above.

  The TITLE attribute shows in my excerpt / brief that appears on my archive/categories page.

• thiefhunter // Jun 16, 2008 at 11:31 pm

  

  Strange, I posted a message yesterday but see no trace of it today. I’ll rewrite:

  I love the plugin, and it does everything I want. But it strangely messes up the look of the leading (space between lines of text) for each paragraph in which there is an image. Everything else is fine — just the line spacing gets whacky. Other paragraphs (without images in them) remain correct, with the line spacing as it should be. The paragraphs that contain an image get text so tight that each line almost touches the lines above and below. It is too ugly to leave up on my site, so I have deactivated the plugin. That might make it impossible for you to troubleshoot.

  If you tell me to “edit the css,” would you please give me a bit more direction, so I know what to edit, how? There must be a conflict in css — or not…

• thiefhunter // Jun 16, 2008 at 11:33 pm

  

  Oh, sorry about the duplication. I guess this page was cached… Apologies.

• Evan R. Thompson // Jun 29, 2008 at 5:38 pm

  

  I was wondering if it would be possible to turn captions on an off per image by simply appending “caption:” to the beginning of the title or alt tag, and have the plugin strip that away and work it’s magic when it finds one.

  by which I mean to say, Great plugin!

• Dgold // Jun 30, 2008 at 4:57 am

  

  Wow!! This plugin works perfectly, and installs fast. In under 5 minutes from the time I discovered this webpage, I had downloaded the plugin, installed it, and changed the Plugin variable under Edit Plugin so that it reads my ALT tags.

  You know, I have been writing ALT tags for years, and I just assumed they were mainly for vision-impaired people who use screen readers, and for Google Images to pick up what my pictures are about. Those are the 2 main reasons I have been writing ALT tags descriptively with keywords and names for years.

  Now with this plugin, all of a sudden, I can see all my old ALT tags in the real-world of the visual web. It’s a beautiful thing. Now I feel like time spent making good ALT tags was that much more worthwhile.

  It’s a real treat to install a plugin, and suddenly my archival posts from 3 years ago have a “new look” because the pictures have captions, that I had already written as ALT.

  Thanks again for this! Small donation coming to your paypal!

• Dimitri // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:16 pm

  

  First of all, let me say thanks for this plugin. However, when I add a caption, it isn’t properly aligned. See an example here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71469838@N00/2643111673/

  Can I fix this?

• Derek Ralston // Jul 9, 2008 at 2:38 am

  

  Great plugin- thanks so much! You rock, saves me from having to go in and create a table around each image on my posts and manually add captions. This should be added as a default plugin with Wordpress.

  I did find one minor issue, not sure if it is correctable, but worth noting just in case someone else has the same problem: In Internet Explorer, when you are using the “alignleft” class, if the text that wraps is within a blockquote, it will make part of the image and the caption invisible. My solution was not to use blockquotes on the text that is wrapping around images.

• thiefhunter // Jul 9, 2008 at 12:05 pm

  

  Please, please, please, take a quick peek at my site. I’ve got the plugin running but it totally messes up each paragraph it’s in. I want the plugin so badly! But look at the line-spacing of each paragraph that contains an image. I’m sure this is fixable in css, but how? Please give me a hint!

• Klaus Heck // Jul 9, 2008 at 12:13 pm

  

  @ thiefhunter: in safari with mac your page looks fine. I just don’t like the yellow box so much.

• thiefhunter // Jul 9, 2008 at 1:40 pm

  

  Thanks so so much for replying, Klaus.

  But no, I think you didn’t notice. Look at how squishy, or close together the lines are in the first paragraph (starts with “A family visit…”

  as compared to the next paragraph (starts with “The tv news…”

  The leading (line-spacing) of the second para is correct, with space between the lines. If you want, I can disable the plugin so you can compare… Somehow, the plugin must be messing with the page’s css. Or something else?

  Or, how can I make this work on images posted in a comment? I want the caption to show up when anyone posts an image with ALT text, there too.

  Thanks!

  Great Plug-in!
  I made a few changes in the CSS to make the caption blend more with my blog’s style. I changed the font family and color, making the color match the link and category headings. I also removed the border and background color, so the caption just floats on the background. It looks great! Thanks for writing this–it’s a life-saver!

• Shane // Sep 23, 2008 at 8:32 pm

  

  Hi - thank you for the plug-in. I have one question. When I use the_excerpt(), if the photo is at the top of the post then the caption is used as the first line of the excerpt. Any idea on how to fix this?

  I tried to look through the 7 pages of previous posts, but no matter which page number I click or even if I click Show All - only the latest 3 posts appear, so I am unable to see if this question was previously asked.

  Thanks!

• Mogens Høegsberg // Oct 9, 2008 at 5:41 pm

  

  I’m having the same problem Thiefhunter reported earlier, but only in Firefox and Firefox-based browsers (Flock, for instance): when I use the plugin, the blank line between the paragraph where there’s an image and the next paragraph disappears.

  I’d much appreciate any or all tips on how to fix this, since the plugin is otherwise awesome. However, if I don’t find a way to fix this, I can’t use it at all…

  This is awesome - and I love that you can do this - however, when I use the Plug-in (Currently deactivated on my site reallybadparentingadvice.com) it over-rides the nice frames I have surrounding my images. Is there any way to have both the captions AND the frames I currently have? Or is it pretty much one or the other?
