Captions for Image Gallery

I'm trying to add captions to the images in my photo gallery, but when I select a thumbnail, I see nowhere to add a caption. Help?

To add captions to your images, you need to click on the entire photo gallery element, not the individual thumbnail images inside it. When you select an individual thumbnail directly on your page layout, the option won't appear. [1]
Here is exactly how to find the caption field in Homestead Sitebuilder Plus:
  1. Log into Sitebuilder Plus and navigate to the page containing your image gallery.
  2. Click once on the overall photo gallery element. This will trigger the blue outline around the container and open the Properties Editor on the right-hand side of your screen.
  3. Look at the Basics tab in that right-hand menu. You will see a vertical text list showing the names of your uploaded images.
  4. Click the image name from that list for the photo you want to caption.
  5. Type your text into the Caption field located directly underneath that image list. [1, 2]
For more details on managing your media layout, you can check out the official Sitebuilder Plus Image Gallery Guide. [1]
If the right-hand panel still isn't showing up, please let me know:
  • Are you using Sitebuilder Plus or the newer Homestead Website Builder?
  • What browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge) are you currently using to edit your site?

Thank you - but I’m having trouble finding the overall photo gallery element on my image gallery page. I can click on “insert” and choose photo gallery, but that just sets it up for me to add a photo. I use both Safari and Chrome to edit

Hello,

 

 

you have to do it  one by one,  for  example  you click the picture   and you gonna see caption  at the  right  hand side, see below  as  your reference
