What your Gallery Captions plugin does

A focused WooCommerce captions plugin. It reads the captions you already added in the media library and shows them with the images.

Captions under images
Shows the caption beneath the main image and thumbnails.
In the lightbox
The same caption appears when a photo is opened full size.
Uses your media text
Reads the title or caption set in the media library.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, so options are easy to find and change.
Good to know: Captions come from the media library fields. The plugin has almost nothing to configure and starts working when it is turned on.

Tell Ora what you need. Check the plan before you pay.

Describe your WooCommerce Gallery Captions Plugin in your own words. Ora replies with a plan and a price. Nothing is built until you approve it.
