 * I entered a description for an image, but it is not showing up anywhere that 
   I can find. What am I doing wrong?? I want a **caption** to show up under the
   thumbnail, and a detailed **description** to show up in the lightbox window. 
   Hope someone can assist.

 * You must insert the image from the image upload-thingy. Otherwise read on the
   configuration page how to add captions by hand.

 * Thanks for the feedback. I needed to get the issue resolved to deliver ontime
   to client, so I switched to a plugin that does what I needed. I used NextGEN 
   Gallery and it is working well.

 * Maybe I have misunderstood the original posters question and your answer. I have
   added my images with the image “upload-thingy” in WordPress. All works fine. 
   But I can not see any configuration instructions on how to get descriptions to
   appear in the lightbox window. If I put in a caption, it shows both under the
   thumbnail and in the lightbox window. I only want a caption or description, (
   I don’t care which one), to show in the lightbox, not under the thumbnail.
 * Can we do this with the plugin? Or would that be a future feature request?
 * Thanks!
