    Hello,

    Is there a way to turn on caption text in nextgengallery using together with wp-slimbox2? All I have is ‘image x of z" information.

    Website http://dczepiel.pl/testbaza

    Alt text was added in nextgengallery now how do I make it so that it is displayed on each photo? My post consists only of nextgen code:
    [gallery=10]

    and nothing else.
    I’d appreciate any help here.

    BTW – WP-SLimbox2 is the only ‘lightboxlike’ plugin that does not kill my slideshow and main page after activating. Thanks a lot for that !

    I do not really see where you are trying to use the slimbox, but make sure your Title tag for the images is populated – that’s what slimbox is using for the caption, not Alt text.

    Hello,

    If you check http://dczepiel.pl/testbaza/category/testowa/?lang=en you will see 5 images. If you click on them they open using slimbox effect (WP-Slimbox2 plugin) but there is no caption text – just image numbers.

    The way NextGen is working is that I do not place those individual photos there, but into the post i paste code:
    [gallery=xx] where xx is the NextGen gallery ID and it automatically places all the photos from that gallery into the post. There is no code I can actually edit for each individual picture to implement title tag and have caption.

    The only place where I edit ‘caption text’ is at admin menu, NextGen Gallery settings – each photo has "Alt text/Description" field and that should be displaying.

    Now to show you exact examples – please have a look at my old website album:
    That is working not on your plugin (WP-slimbox2) but the "slimbox-plugin". That alt text/description field is showing correctly. Link: http://dczepiel.pl/?page_id=11&lang=en 

    However this slimbox-plugin (not yours) is not working properly on the new theme I want to implement (the one yo usee at http://dczepiel.pl/testbaza) – it crashes the drop down menus on the top and crashes the slideshow.

    Your WP-slimbox 2 plugin is the only lightbox-effect type plugin that works properly and thank you for that. I guess if I can’t have captions (as this is the only thing that’s missing for me) I will live with that, but I’m just exploring if maybe there is a way to have that text displayed.

    OK, that was so stupid of mine !
    The description text does how, I just didn’t put it in the right spot on the NextGen Gallery manage page.

    All working properly now, thanks for this cool plugin !
