    I have searched for the answer but am unable to find my specific question
    I have build some portfolio pages using fancy images shortcode
    I would like the Titles to display under the thumbnail images as well as when the image opens in light box is that possible.

    Question two
    I have just built a portfolio and the titles do not appear when the image is clicked and it opens in lightbox. 2 other galleries built exactly the same way are showing the titles - what happend?
    This is the gallery that is not working http://keyserconstructionoregon.com/bull-mountain-bathroom-remodel/
    This is the gallery that does show the titles in light box http://keyserconstructionoregon.com/sylvan-kitchen-remodel/

    This is the code for the gallery where the images do show the titles in light box
    [fancy_images]
    [image title="Kitchen Remodel" alt="image of remodeled kitchen"]http://keyserconstructionoregon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/kitchen-remodel-sylvan.jpg[/image]
    [image title="Glass Tile Backsplash design" alt="image of glass tile backsplash design"]keyserconstructionoregon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/glass-tile-backsplash1.jpg[/image]
    [image title="Sylvan Kitchen before remodel" alt="image of kitchen before remodel"]keyserconstructionoregon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/kitchen-before.jpg[/image]
    [/fancy_images]

    This is the code for the gallery which does NOT show the titles in lightbox - I can't spot the difference
    [fancy_images width="200" height="200"]
    [image title="Bull Mountain Remodeled Bathroom"]http://keyserconstructionoregon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/bathtub.jpg[/image]

    Hello ColorSplash,

    Basically your wanting your title to display in prettyPhoto when you click on the fancy_image correct? Make sure that you set the alt and title text for each image, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Fancy_Images.

    Your second set of code does not have any alt information set.

    To follow up with this question, three parts:

    I would also like a caption to appear under the thumbnail of the image before it opens in light box. Is that possible using the Fancy Image way of building the gallery?
    see this page: http://keyserconstructionoregon.com/sylvan-kitchen-remodel/

    Secondly if I build the gallery using a portfolio grid it appears to be a quicker and easier way to build the gallery. However, while I can get the portfolio post title or excerpt to show under the thumbnail, I cant get a caption into the light box - is there a work around for that? See this page
    http://keyserconstructionoregon.com/bull-mountain-bathroom-remodel/

    Finally how can I make the text title that appears under the image as the title to be smaller
    see this page http://keyserconstructionoregon.com/portfolio/

    Thanks very much

    The fancy_images shortcode currently does not have a caption feature but I'll move this to feature requests and we'll look into adding one for a future update.

    For the portfolio alt / title text see here, http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/lightbox-images-squished?replies=15.

    As for the title in your third link it looks like your using an H2 correct? Try using an H3 or H4 to make it smaller.

    Elliot thanks I will see if I can make this work somehow.

    I think it is H2 but it is a default I am not specifying it when I build the portfolio grid.
    Would I just go the css style sheet and mess with the sizes there?
