FSM Custom Featured Image Caption for WordPress

This plugin allows adding custom captions to the featured images of the posts. It works with both Gutenberg and the classic editor.

That’s how it works:

If no caption is indicated, the plugin will display the generic caption defined in the Media Library.

If a caption is indicated, the plugin will display this caption instead of the generic caption defined in the Media Library.

If no caption is indicated and no legend exists in the Media Library, none will be displayed (obviously).

The plugin also allows to:

Hide the caption, either the original from the Media Library or the custom one.

Entirely hide the featured image in the public view, without having to de-attach it from the post.

Configure several options to modify the styles used in the caption.

Output the text of the caption anywhere in your theme using a custom function.

Output the featured image with caption inside your content with a shortcode.

For maintaining a semantic code, this plugin writes the caption in a <figcaption> label.

New in version 1.21: Compatibility with Divi themes. This is an experimental feature to allow the plugin to work with Divi, as many users requested. Note that it may not work for all layouts, and that since it replaces the function divi uses to show featured images, when enabled it may potentially cause problems with older versions of Divi or if the core theme is updated. As always, it may also be necessary to add custom css to your theme to show the captions the way you want
