# Gallery Short Code

 * I would rather have a gallery short code that could display the title of the 
   image rather then the caption below the image. As captions can be a couple sentences
   sometimes when you use the thumbnail image for the gallery the caption seems 
   almost as large as the thumbnail image itself.
 * When you look at the media ‘wp-includes/media.php’ it only give you one option
   which is the caption.
 * Of course I can just display the CSS to none and it won’t show anything below
   the image, but I believe their could be better solutions.

 * you can add your own gallery shortcode to functions.php of your theme, starting
   with a copy of the code from wp_includes/media.php;
 *     ```
       remove_shortcode('gallery', 'gallery_shortcode');
       add_shortcode('gallery', 'rdall_gallery_shortcode');
       function rdall_gallery_shortcode($attr) {
       HERE ADD THE FULL GALLERY CODE FROM MEDIA.PHP, BUT CHANGE THESE LINES:
       		if ( $captiontag && trim($attachment->post_title) ) {
       			$output .= "
       				<{$captiontag} class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>
       				" . wptexturize($attachment->post_title) . "
       				</{$captiontag}>";
       HERE THE REST OF THE CODE
       return $output;
       }
       ```
