FoA Featured Image – Show Caption vs Image Formatr

FoA Featured Image – Show Caption is a simple WordPress plugin that extends the core Featured Image block with caption functionality. When enabled, it displays the image caption (or title if no caption exists) below the featured image. Key Features: Adds a “Show Caption” checkbox setting to the Featured Image block Displays the image caption (or title if no caption) below the featured image Works with the Gutenberg block editor and templates Clean, minimal styling that works with most themes Right-aligned caption with light grey color How it Works: The plugin extends the core Featured Image block with additional settings When “Show Caption” is enabled, it checks for a caption on the featured image If no caption exists, it falls back to using the image title The caption is displayed in a element Works with both regular posts/pages and WordPress templates Styling: The plugin includes default CSS styling for the caption: * Text aligned to the right * Light grey color (#999) * Italic font style * Small font size You can easily customize the appearance by targeting the .featured-image-caption class in your theme’s CSS. The plugin uses standard CSS specificity, so your theme styles will override the defaults.

Image Formatr is a simple plugin that goes through all the content images on posts & pages, and with zero user changes: gives them a standardized thumbnail format using CSS puts a caption underneath each one using the title makes them linked so they popup in full size Thumbnails are not generated, but will be used if available in the media library. This plugin is driven by the prettyPhoto library so we could call this plugin a prettyPhoto integration plugin. *Note: Supports images on Flickr. Usage This only applies to the images you put in your content, not theme graphics. After the plugin runs, the output to the browser looks like: A sample caption Documentation You can find plugin documentation at http://warriorself.com/blog/about/image-formatr/ Features Standardizes all thumbnails without altering posts Supports displaying images from Flickr: Generates image captions using the image title or alt Integrates WordPress media library thumbnails Gives popups for WordPress gallery images (adjust priority setting to 12) Shows all content images on the blog as small thumbnails (does not create new thumbnails but can use Media Library for thumbs) Allows for fine-grained control of each image’s format Zooms image to large size when clicked using the prettyPhoto library Outputs standard XHTML compliant markup Gallery Support To get WordPress Gallery images to popup, this plugin must run at a priority greater (later) than the [gallery] shortcode which runs at priority 11. Therefore set the priority setting to 12 in the Administration Options. Overrides The actions of the plugin are enabled and disabled with administration settings but can be overridden on each individual image. usemysize – true/false – true = do not ignore an image width and height usemya – true/false – true = do not ignore a parent anchor tag nocap – true/false – true = do not create a caption nofx – true/false – true = no popup effect link – string url – make the caption a link to the url hint – string txt – this will be the new image title asis – true/false – true = don’t change nuthin group – string txt – separate popup slideshows thumb – string url – image thumbnail (version 0.9.7) page – single/!single/front/!front – page filtering (version 0.9.7) If you want to surround an image with an anchor tag , then you should add a usemya attribute within the image tag or else your anchor will be ignored and replaced. If you do not want the popup effect at all, add a nofx attribute to the image. If you do not want any caption, you can specify nocap, or just leave the title blank. And to have the plugin completely ignore an image and output the content directly from the post, use the asis attribute. Example Note: concerning the true/false overrides, do not include “false” parameters like , i.e these overrides should only include the attributes for which you want to designate a “true” value.
