HTML captions w/ links do not work

When an html caption containing one or more links is inserted, nearly the entire caption bar disappears behind the image (on all 4 slider types)

I initially thought it was related to the black background of the caption bar (since some of the html code I’m using inserts black text) and based on previous support threads I attempted to edit the php file (despite zero coding ability), which resulted in a parse error locking me out of WP).

Because the whole caption bar basically disappears I believe it is a bug within the Nivo slider? The following is an example of code I’m trying to insert in the caption- (it allows for proper creative commons attribution from Flickr- something MANY people need when presenting their images):

Please help! Thank you in advance! – JR
