Image Caption showing in text

[Pac10Rivalry.com]

Greetings: I've used the Search here on the forum and have spent some time manually searching for any ideas/solutions, but I've not found one. So.....

The Image Caption text is being displayed in the text.

Example:
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="234" caption="photo via xxxxx.com"][/caption]

Does anyone know of a way for this to NOT show as part of the text? I realize I can remove the [caption] altogether, but I rather like having the shadow box with text about the image in my posts. I just don't want the Caption text to show up in my FCG.

I hope this makes sense. If not, have a look at my front page and you'll clearly see what I am talking about. (www.Pac10Rivalry.com).

Also, as a second item - Isn't there a way to use max-height for the images so there isn't a need to crop images to fit the FCG? Just a thought and hoped someone may have an idea already. If not, it's next on my list to research.

Thank you in advance!!

You can use featuredtext custom field to have custom description of your post instead of fcg grabbing top of your post with caption.

No, there is no max-height for images, but you do not need to crop every image to be gallery size, if your image size is bigger than gallery size, just middle of the image will be shown. But of cours,huge images will require more time to load.

Hi. Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I see the image does get centered, but for some images that chops the top off (and in some cases it chops of the heads of people in the image). If my box is 300 px high and my image is350px it chops the top and bottom off.

Using the featuredtext function means adding one more step to the process. I realize this is just one more step, but each step adds up when posting several articles. Especially when there is a way to automate processes more.

I'll see if I cannot come up with a solution for each.

Thank you

anyway you need to specify articleimg field to each post you use in gallery, so adding featuredtext field is not a big deal

Hi... I don't know if you've already found a solution, but I tried this and it work for my site...

I added the following lines in my /wp-includes/feed.php file and it worked for me:

Code: Select all

$content = preg_replace("/\[caption.*\[\/caption\]/", '', $content); /* string itself */
if ( $cut && !$encode_html ) /* next line, for navigation too */

Look for these lines and paste the code above below them:

Code: Select all

function the_content_rss($more_link_text='(more...)', $stripteaser=0, $more_file='', $cut = 0, $encode_html = 0) {
   $content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
   $content = apply_filters('the_content_rss', $content);
