    @tnngrudi – This reads more like you were using a custom template prior to the update and you just need to recreate that template again.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I have checked the db and all descriptions are gone, but the alt text is still available.

    I am still quite a noob to php. Is there anyway you can guide me through this process please?

    Thanks 🙂

    @tnngrudi – NextGEN Gallery by itself would not remove the descriptions, that would require manual intervention within NextGEN Gallery itself. This does not exclude the possibility of some other plugin causing that issue, but as it is that is not directly related to the display of the details.

    I believe your next steps after sorting out the description issue (which may just require you re-adding them … you can try re-importing the meta data under the Manage Galleries bulk actions to see if that will work but I do not suspect it will) are to have a look at a custom template to display the Alt & Title text.

    This page may be of help as a starting point: http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/templates/

    This Gist may also prove useful as a place to work from: https://gist.github.com/Cais/7337271

    Thanks!

    I found a work around. I had to go edit the fancybox pack javascript file within the plugin folder from Line 45 —— “titleFromAlt:false” to “titleFromAlt:true”

    Thanks for the help 🙂

    @tnngrudi – Thanks for sharing that. Please keep in mind this modification will be over-written with any future update to NextGEN Gallery.
