Caption on Featured Image?

[Crystal]

I’d like to have captions display below my FIs. Is there a way to do this in Weaver Xtreme? I can see where I set the font color for captions, but not how to make them display in my posts.

I dont know that there is a way to do that automatically, @weaver can confirm (may be with an action)

If not there is a manual way, which is not to use the featured image, but insert the image in the posts content and use manual excerpts with the image also inserted there.

A web search also returned a solution that would probably require the use of a child theme if weaver confirm it cant be done with an action / filter

Finally the same search revealed an existing plugin

Featured Image Caption

 One of the issues is associating the caption with the image.

The Featured Image Plugin does this by letting you add the caption specifically on the post’s page right under the Featured Image box. This is okay. The problem with the plugin is that it doesn’t put the caption right under the image. The caption is wrapped in a <div>, and it might be possible to style it so that the caption works right, but it looks like it might need a clear:both; after to get layout to work right. I didn’t play too hard on that.

The other option would be to use the already defined caption for each image in the media library. This could be done by filtering ‘post_thumbnail_html’ (I think), but the PHP logic for fetching the caption and modifying the output would be a bit complex. But doable with some effort.

I ended up playing with the Featured Image Plugin until it did what I wanted. Not perfect, but workable. Thanks!
