Is there a way to add text to the light box that opens?

When you click on an image a lightbox image grows bigger in the same window. I would like to add a small text field in it that could handle a link or some short html

Hi,

You can go to Media > Library > Edit a photo then add a description. I tested this and the anchor link doesn't work on the lightbox view. Let me tag the rest of the support team to help us out.

Hi,

I manage to find a solution but it is a bit complicated. Instead of adding a link on the description like this

<a href="test.html">hello</a>

you should use this one

This link might help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references

Hi,

Take a look at this plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/attachments/ I think it will do everything you require.

Thanks,
