Hi @computergeek9696
Currently, FooGallery does not have the option to create custom templates.
However, when it comes to custom fields to add custom captions, FooGallery PRO Expert and FooGallery PRO Commerce does have a feature to allow you to create custom captions using HTML and custom attachment metadata. FooGallery PRO searches for metadata fields that it can identify and displays these as dynamic placeholders. You can add to any existing fields by using a custom fields plugins, such as Advanced Custom Fields or Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields.
Here’s a guide that explains this in more detail: https://fooplugins.com/documentation/foogallery/pro-expert/using-custom-captions/
You can actually enable FooGallery’s free 7 day trial option to give you the option to be able to test this feature from your end. To learn more on how to enable this: https://fooplugins.com/documentation/general/faq/start-free-trial/
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,
Elvis.
Thank you for the reply. I ended up using a combination of php and jquery in the functions.php file to append the published date to the title. the galleries were being displayed through the album shortcode on a wordpress page. the method was kinda crude but it worked without having to upgrade to pro and not having to modify plugin files that would be overwritten on next update.
