I'm trying to get the captions from images in Wordpress but I can't find an easy function to grab this bit of information.
Anyone know a way to get this?
Thanks
If you are trying to get the caption while in a post you can echo it out inside your "the_post_thumbnail" tag.
<?php the_post_thumbnail();
echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt; ?>
You can also use the same method to show the image description. This is a little better feature in WordPress 3.5
<?php the_post_thumbnail();
echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_content; ?>
If you need to style the caption or description you can wrap it in a div like below.
<?php the_post_thumbnail();
echo '<div class="myDiv">' . get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt . '</div>'
; ?>
Hope that helps.
