 * In many instances I want to convey to the user that they can enlarge the image.
   One way is by setting the caption to:
 * Click to enlarge.
 * But, when it is clicked, the caption would need to change to something useful
 * At the moment the te t has to be the same.
 * Or is there another way to inform the user they can enlarge such images?

 * Hi [@ajtruckle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajtruckle/),
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * Do you have a link to a page on your website where I can see how your lightbox
   looks?
 * That will help us make better recommendations to you.

 * Some of my images can be clicked to view larger. But this is not apparent to 
   a visitor. Hence it would be nice when the image is normal size the caption is
   xxx – Click to enlarge. But when clicked, we don’t need that extra text.

 * Hi [@ajtruckle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajtruckle/),
 * Right now there isn’t a way to have a one caption showing on an image in the 
   page when you hover (“click to enlarge”) and another one when it is opened in
   FooBox.
 * The simplest solution would to turn off the caption showing under each image 
   and manually add a text instruction to “click to enlarge”. Then when the image
   is clicked and shown in FooBox Lightbox it will show the caption as usual.
