Hello together,

@m-tenbrink: Hello there,
Yes, it is possible to add captions to the featured images of the post. For that you will need to create a child theme and do a little bit of customization. Let me know if you are familiar with child theme customization.

Kind Regards,

Hello Skanda,

I have setup an second installation with on an local computer. For this installation I have implemented already an child theme for the customization. With this way I can test every changes before I transfer the result to the public page.

@m-tenbrink: Go to => Child Theme Folder => functions.php and add the Code in this link.

Then Go to => Dashboard => Media => Click on the image where you want to add your caption text in the Caption field

Now the caption should show up below the featured image.
Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,

Hello Skanda,

I got an error massage: unexpected ‘;’ in row 28. This is the row with the first “if” statement.

@m-tenbrink: Can you try adding the following code and check if it works out?
Go to => Child Theme Folder => functions.php and add the following Code.

function clean_journal_archive_content_image() {
	$options 			= clean_journal_get_theme_options();

	$featured_image = $options['content_layout'];

	if ( has_post_thumbnail() && 'full-content' != $featured_image ) { ?>
		<figure class="featured-image">
            <a rel="bookmark" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
            <?php
					if ( 'excerpt-image-left' == $featured_image  || 'excerpt-image-right' == $featured_image  ) {
	                     the_post_thumbnail( 'clean-journal-landscape' );
	                }
	                elseif ( 'excerpt-image-top' == $featured_image  ) {
	                     the_post_thumbnail( 'clean-journal-featured' );
	                }
	               	elseif ( 'excerpt-full-image' == $featured_image  ) {
	                     the_post_thumbnail( 'full' );
	                }
				?>
			</a>
		<?php if (get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt) { // search for if the image has caption added on it ?>
			    <span class="featured-image-caption">
			        <?php echo wp_kses_post(get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt); // displays the image caption ?>
			    </span>
			<?php } ?>	
        </figure>
   	<?php
	}
}

Let me know if this works out!
