 * Hi,
    Just noticed with this last update that the captions no longer appear on
   my basic slideshow.

 * [@melissaschmitt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melissaschmitt/) – The 
   Basic Slideshow does not offer a caption by default. I would strongly suspect
   you were using some sort of custom template and/or the plugin’s core code was
   modified to display the caption.
 * I would suspect you could also re-modify the code as needed to get these captions
   to re-display.
 * Thanks!
 * – Cais.

 * Thank you Cais! It was so long ago that I put the slideshow in the page, that
   I do not recall what I did 🙂 Have to investigate a bit.

 * [@melissaschmitt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melissaschmitt/) – It’s
   not a standard feature (even though we are looking into adding it). Your alternative
   is to consider our NextGEN Pro displays … the Pro Slideshow does offer caption
   options by default.
