# caption not a caption

 * When I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, I was quite happy to find
   that captions on images would support html. No more writing out the full div 
   code.
 * But in actuality, the new captions are completely broken and don’t work at all.
   What I end up with is a picture with the caption text directly beside it, with
   no frame/border.
 * Thankfully it didn’t break old pages, but now I am having to do extra work to
   write normal captions. Do I _have_ to use html?
 * Here is how the final code looked before the changes:
 *     ```
       <div id="attachment_4836" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 290px"><a  href="image.jpg" class="thickbox no_icon" title="image"><img src="image-290x427.jpg" alt="image" title="image" width="290" height="427" class="size-medium wp-image-4836" /></a>
       	<p class="wp-caption-text">Image</p>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Now it looks like this:
 * `<a href="image.jpg" class="thickbox no_icon" title="image"><img src="image-290x427.
   jpg" alt="image" title="image" width="290" height="427" class="size-medium wp-
   image-4836" /></a> Image<br />`
 * They both look very similar in the html editor, being enclosed in [caption] shortcode,
   but come out very differently. No div tags at all in the new version.
 * Is this only happening to me? I can’t find any reference to this mess anywhere.

 * Thanks. Tracked it down, thanks to Thesis developers.
    For others… In lib/functions/
   launch.php remove or comment out the four lines that follow “// Use our image
   captioning”
