That’s indeed done by design, to avoid that the caption covers all the image if it’s too long.
You can use Custom CSS to change that default behaviour. Try adding the following CSS to your theme stylesheet, or to your custom CSS editor available under Appearance > Edit CSS in your dashboard:
.tiled-gallery .tiled-gallery-caption {
overflow:visible;
white-space: normal;
padding: 10px;
}
Thank you for the reply. Is there away I can add the scroll bar so users can scroll down to read all the text there?
Thank you
Hello
Alternatively can the height of the overlaying caption be taller than the actual image is to fit in all the text?
Thank you
Hello
Sorry to keep posting here but is there a way to hide the caption until the image is clicked and then view it in media link?
Sorry I was going a bit mad there with all these posts. I have managed to fix it well enough by stopping the captions completely on a specific page. Thanks
.page-id-62 .tiled-gallery-caption {
display:none !important;
}

A scrollbar probably wouldn’t be a great idea since your readers would find it hard to mouse over the image, then go to the scrollbar, then scroll without leaving the image or the caption would disappear.

I’m afraid that won’t be possible, as it would break the gallery layout.

You could hide the captions altogether with this CSS:
.tiled-gallery .tiled-gallery-caption {
display: none !important;
}
