Custom Captions

Add custom captions

This plugin allows you to add custom captions to the featured images of your posts. You can easily customize the captions for each image, either using the generic caption defined in the Media Library or adding your own custom text.

Hide captions for a cleaner look

Hide Captions

Hide captions and images

With this plugin, you have the option to hide the captions, either the original ones from the Media Library or the custom ones you've added. You can also hide the featured image entirely in the public view without having to de-attach it from the post.

Simple, easy to use, works well. I'd donate for sure if the Donate link worked!

Is the plugin still supported?

By steev99 on October 18, 2024

I have checked that the plugin has not been updated for 2 years, we have been using it for a couple of years and the plugin is very good, but we need to know if you plan to release new maintenance updates

Worked without any configuration

By Martin Sauter (martin.sauter) on December 6, 2023

This plug-in did exactly what I expected (display the featured image caption in post single view), without any configuration. Thank you!

Does not work (with Divi)

By legarsfred on May 19, 2023

It's not working on my side. Divi Builder last version and the same for Wordpress.

Excellent support

By calaiopee on September 5, 2022

I had these warnings: Warning: Undefined array key "_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption" Warning: Undefined array key "_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide" Warning: Cannot modify header information The support is after it just one day later. So that's what the five stars are for. Two days later: Issue resolved, ****** six stars!

Not working

By HeleneT on August 23, 2022

Not working. Tried every settings but the caption is not showing up!!!

Lovely plugin for most use cases

By vinayaga on November 17, 2021

Lovely plugin that works great. But when I use the shortcode to display the caption in a DIVI post template, it does not have the ability to show WPML translated text for the caption. I wish the dev would fix this to make it truly useful in multilingual websites because the translation works in the default divi caption without a shortcode.

Wow nice

The fastest to solve a problem!

By atutrabajo on December 11, 2020

The truth is that it is the 1st. and only problem I had with this plugin and ... They solved it for me in the day! Frankly, both the plugin (for its simplicity and practicality) and the support (which is the 1st and only time I require), are Spectacular! Keep it up and thank you for your work. See you!
