 * What is the best way to simply put the caption below the image in a Jetpack Slideshow.
   It’s for a gallery and we need the captions NOT to be over the images.
    Wish 
   they had this built in to the controls.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fjetpack-slideshow-caption-control%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * That’s not an option at the moment. You would have to use CSS to change the layout
   of the slideshow block to achieve such a result.
 * That said, someone else had the same remark just yesterday, and we consequently
   started discussing whether it would make sense to update Jetpack with such a 
   change. You can follow our conversation and chime in with your remarks here:

 * What is the CSS call for this and would it work in a Genesis child theme?

 * Try the following CSS, it should work in any theme:
 *     ```
       wp-block-jetpack-slideshow .wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide figure {
           display: block;
       }
       .wp-block-jetpack-slideshow .wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image {
           margin: 0 auto;
       }
       .wp-block-jetpack-slideshow .wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption.gallery-caption {
           position: static;
       }
       ```

 * Couldn’t get this to work with the child theme.
    Dug into the jetpack css and
   found a view.css deep in the plugin folder for slideshow. Edits worked to some
   degree but wasn’t good enough on android mobile. Went with metaslider as a solution.
