Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • tag: The tag (without brackets) you want to use as a container. By default is div. If set to false, it will remove it and will return the caption text
  • class: The name of the class/classes you want to use for the container. Use spaces to separate them. Empty by default
  • style: The CSS styles to be used in the container tag. Empty by default
  • force_visibility: When set to true, it ignores the hide caption option defined by the post editor. Useful for displaying your caption in a different place, but…
  • allow_html: like in the settings page, if set to true, allows the browser to parse the HTML code inside the caption text, else shows it as plain text. Default…
  • allow_shortcodes: again the same behaviour than in the settings page. Default: false
  • ignore_original_caption: stops using captions defined in the media library as a substitution when the caption field is empty. Default: false

  • Is the plugin still supported?

    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

    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)

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

  • Excellent support

    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!
