Overview
With GIC, you can display the title, caption, and description image attributes. You can also change/filter the rendering HTML to whatever you want.
After installing and activating GIC, write your filter and add the WordPress Gallery shortcode to your page.
If you’ve been dreaming of writing a filter to customise the gallery image captions, then this plugin is for you.
Motivation
The default WordPress gallery shortcode will only display the caption from the media’s attachment metadata. Sometimes it’s nice to display more like the title—even the description.
The GIC plugin overrides the WordPress gallery shortcode function to create a hook. With this hook you can do a little bit more than just displaying the caption.
