How to add caption/photo credits to the "featured image"

Hi Salt

To add caption to the featured image please follow my instruction here:

– Add Caption when set featured image

– Add following code to content.php – line 22 in Your site > wp-content > themes > your theme > content.php

 <?php echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt; ?>

 
Hope this helps!

The code does not work because the lines were among the code listed is not already displayed.

Hi,
To resolve this issue, you can open the content-single.php file. Find the line 17 to line 19.
Replace the following code:

<div class="entry-thumbnail">
     <?php the_post_thumbnail(''); ?>
</div>

With new code:

<div class="entry-thumbnail">
 <?php the_post_thumbnail(''); ?> <!-- this displays the featured image -->
 <?php echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt; ?> <!-- this is the above code to display the caption -->
</div> 

Note: To add the caption to the feature image, you can use the following sample bellow.

<p class="caption">Your content </p>

– If you want to style for the caption section, you can add the following code to the style.css file:

.caption {
....
}

Hope this helps !
