Thank you Günter for adding this to the list of feature requests and bug fixes.

It seems to me that all the replies here on how to fix it and how there is nothing wrong with it misses the point to a major part of Enfold users who are not web developers. As they use the gallery and enter captions into the field that says they should enter a caption and then they don’t work. It’s a major problem.

Another point I would make as I made before, we launched many websites for clients using Enfold where this field worked just fine and it even used the captions input from the images. IT WAS CHANGED at some point and ALL our client sites were broken. We had to go through everything and change the caption info to the Title field in the image.

If this had always worked in the current way, we would not have launched so many websites using that field to enter captions or using the caption field from the images.

I hope this gets fixed. Thank you.

Hello,

I’m checking in on this after updating to ALL your recent updates running Enfold 4.7.4. At the link below, I show another set of images documenting how when uploading images to the masonry gallery, I enter the captions in the field provided by Enfold for captions. When I view the masonry gallery, the captions are not displayed, only the title is displayed.

See documentation:

From a user who buys the theme and uses this masonry gallery and enters captions, this would be incredibly frustrating. Why do you continue to provide a field for captions if they don’t display? If you don’t plan to fix it, please remove it or make it pull the image title which is what it’s doing now.

This continues to support my claim above that this was changed sometime 4 or 5 versions ago breaking all websites done previously.

I hope I can help you fix this by showing you this problem for any new Enfold user.

Thanks

All I need is to simply have access to the image Caption using Lightbox with PhotoSwipe. But it seems the masonry widget does not allow access to this info from any plugin.

Thanks

I’m sorry, but I’m having a really hard time understanding the team’s logic in making changes to the Avia builder that your users will need to change on every single post. After creating hundreds of posts, this is super upsetting.

For example, you added a feature to the masonry gallery to disable the animation. But you didn’t include it to disable the animations across the entire website or for ALL masonry animations. Now all your users who helped make Enfold a success after purchasing the theme and using it are FORCED to go back to everything one-by-one and make adjustments. Or continue to rely on hacking the theme’s functions or CSS.

If you are interested only in new users, you can create a yearly subscription to fix these short-sided decisions. This way, you think of your new users as well as your current users who have been using the theme for a long time—like us.

Again, we have a major problem and you want us to go one-by-one across so many websites to fix it. How can you seriously propose this when I have said over and over how many masonry galleries exist? Not a single programmer out there would consider this a good solution.

I added the Enfold Gallery element under the current Enfold Masonry Gallery element. The structure is the same, but one imports the Caption and the other does not. The Gallery element works fine. How can I have the Masonry Gallery get the Caption like the Gallery element is doing?

Gallery (notice the long Caption field being used):

<figcaption>
<div class=”mfp-bottom-bar”>
<div class=”mfp-title”>Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova. A Fragmented Casba, 2016. Wood, foam, fiberglass, metal, concrete, marble. Site specific installation at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens for Lost Spaces centennial exhibition, dimensions variable.</div>
<div class=”mfp-counter”>1 / 7</div>
</div>
</figcaption>

Masonry Gallery (only title field being used):

<figcaption>
<div class=”mfp-bottom-bar”>
<div class=”mfp-title”>Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova. A Fragmented Casba, 2016.</div>
<div class=”mfp-counter”>7 / 56</div>
</div>
</figcaption>

Can anyone help fix this across all Masonry Galleries by adjusting the js above?

Can anyone make the change to the Masonry Gallery feature so it works with your own caption field inside the Edit Gallery popup?

I understand this new change and that it’s coming from the title. But I have shown you in the linked documentation that the caption field in the Edit Gallery pop-up for the Masonry Gallery DOES NOT WORK. So please do not say that this was always like this. It was not. People using this and adding the captions will be confused since it doesn’t work! Why do you still have a caption field that doesn’t work? Will this be fixed?

This linked image shows that it was set-up as I describe it. This linked image is a Masonry Gallery from 2016! It has been working fine since 2016. Checked and double-checked by the client and us before we launch the website. Only recently, it has changed. You can see the caption field with a real caption in it and then you can see the Title displaying in the Lightbox. This is a huge mistake!

Now I’m trying another Lightbox plugin on a different website to fix this problem, and you’re telling me it will not work with anything?

See Image:

In order to fix this across the board, how can I disable the Enfold lightbox feature and use another lightbox? This seems like the only way.

Thanks

That’s great but there is one step above that leads me to believe that it has to be done for all galleries.

“We set the gallery to display the title and the excerpt and applied the masonry content to the title attribute using the script provided”

This suggests that all galleries must be set this way.

Thanks,
Leyden

Where did you add @guenni007 script? I had added it to the fuctions.php. Did you add it somewhere else?

Thanks.
