Featured Image Caption makes it simple to show a caption with the featured image of a post or page. It works seamlessly with most themes, with no coding required. If you like to mess about in the code, it supports that too.

Featured Image Caption

Easily add and display a caption for the featured image of a post.

hornament

Plugin accesses the caption shortcode via <code>add_filter( \'img_caption_shortcode\', ... )</code>.
By default, image authors are read out of the description of the respective image. Therefore, they have to be tagged in a specific way: 
In the description of the respective image, accessible under ‘Media’ > ‘Edit’ > ‘Description’, the image author (or multiple image authors) have to be wrapped in <code><author></author></code> tags.
If there are no authors in image description, the plugin tries to read authors from the image’s Exif information. If successful, image authors are automatically saved into image description.

fla_Image Caption

Plugin to insert image authors automatically.
