Display captions correctly

    I’ve been using text below my images as captions. It has occurred to me that I should be using the ‘Caption’ field in the images instead, so that search engines know the text is a caption. But when I add “caption test” to the caption field, I get some extraneous text. “[caption id="attachment_14273" align="alignnone" width="960"]” appears above the image. And “caption test[/caption]” appears below the image instead of just “caption test”. Is there a way to correct this?

    Tick the “Allow Shortcodes” checkbox within your “Slider Settings”.

    That removes the unwanted text. Is there a way to get the text to be left justified and add margins to the text? I tried to use the align left option, but the text stays center justified. I also tried to remove the CSS you gave me earlier to make the images full size, in case that was interfering. Same result.

    I’m assuming you are talking about the image captions here:

    Try the following CSS:

    #slider_14217 .owl-item .sa_hover_container figure figcaption {
   text-align:center !important;
   margin-top:0px !important;
   margin-bottom:0px !important;
}

    (you can tweak the margins above)

    Yes! That does the job nicely. I want you to know I greatly appreciate the effort you made to help solve this problem. My website doesn’t have text. It’s just images and videos. So it’s very important that my images get indexed properly. And I never would have been able to figure this out on my own. I don’t have any money right now, but when I do, I will make a donation to compensate you for your time. Thank you very much!
