# Text overlay plugin?

 * I’d like to overlay text, specifically the year over each individual image in
   my gallery. However, each image should have a completely different year. They
   cannot have the same year. Is there an overlay plugin that can help me accomplish
   this goal?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftext-overlay-plugin%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@porubs1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/porubs1/) ,
 * If you are using Guttenberg as builder (which is the default wordpress editor)
   I would recommend you to use [Visual Portfolio, Photo Gallery & Post Grid ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/visual-portfolio/).
 * I have used it on several sites and it is spectacular. It allows you to choose
   from various gallery styles, element positioning, sizes, colors, etc.
 * To get the overlay you want, you should follow these steps:
 * 1- Install and activate the plugin [Visual Portfolio, Photo Gallery & Post Grid](https://wordpress.org/plugins/visual-portfolio/).
   
   2- Edit the page or post where you want to place the gallery with the text overlay.
   3- Add the “Visual Portfolio” block, select Images and choose the images you 
   want to add. In the **caption** of each image place the year you want to show
   in that image.4- Click continue and you will have your gallery.

 * To configure now the overlay text follow the next steps:
   1- In the page or post
   edition, select the gallery block that we created before and in “ITEMS TITLE 
   SOURCE” select “Image Caption”.2- Scroll down and choose a layout (tiles, gallery,
   masonry, etc) and also choose a Skin for the overlay (fade, fly, emerge or classic).
   There you can set the color of the overyaly text, the color of the background
   overlay, etc. Feel free to adjust it to your liking.

 * And that’s it, you have a modern gallery with text overlay for each image.
 * Let me know if you found it useful. If this solves your problem, it would be 
   advisable to mark this thread as ‘Resolved’.
 * Best regards,
   Mateo
