Overview
This plugin allows adding custom captions to the featured images of the posts. It works with both Gutenberg and the classic editor.
That’s how it works:
- If no caption is indicated, the plugin will display the generic caption defined in the Media Library.
- If a caption is indicated, the plugin will display this caption instead of the generic caption defined in the Media Library.
- If no caption is indicated and no legend exists in the Media Library, none will be displayed (obviously).
The plugin also allows to:
- Hide the caption, either the original from the Media Library or the custom one.
- Entirely hide the featured image in the public view, without having to de-attach it from the post.
- Configure several options to modify the styles used in the caption.
- Output the text of the caption…

Simple, easy to use, works well. I’d donate for sure if the Donate link worked!
Is the plugin still supported?

I have checked that the plugin has not been updated for 2 years, we have been using it for a couple of years and the plugin is very good, but we need to know if you plan to release new maintenance updates

Worked without any configuration
by Martin Sauter·2 years ago
This plug-in did exactly what I expected (display the featured image caption in post single view), without any configuration. Thank you!
Does not work (with Divi)
by legarsfred·2 years ago
It’s not working on my side. Divi Builder last version and the same for WordPress.
Excellent support

I had these warnings:
Warning: Undefined array key “_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption”
Warning: Undefined array key “_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide”
Warning: Cannot modify header information
The support is after it just one day later. So that’s what the five stars are for.
Two days later: Issue resolved, ****** six stars!
