# Missing thumbnail captions

 * After updating to 1.4 I no longer have captions showing on my thumbnail gallery
   pages. I’ve rolled back to 1.3 at the moment. I’m using a child theme but when
   using the default theme the problem remained.

 * I’ve updated back to 1.4 to enable viewing of the gallery pages. Everything works
   fine on my test site but not the live site. I disabled all plugins and still 
   no captions. When I revert to my old theme the captions are there.

 * I think I see the problem coming from the theme’s style.css file:
 *     ```
       .gallery-columns-5 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-6 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-7 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-8 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-9 .gallery-caption {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Try this, go to the “Additional CSS” part of the dashboard and add this code:
 *     ```
       .gallery-columns-5 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-6 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-7 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-8 .gallery-caption,
       .gallery-columns-9 .gallery-caption {
       	display: block;
       }
       ```
