Link in caption

Hello,

Is it possible to insert a link in the caption of a photo?

Thanks in advance.

Yeap, you can do that, just put the link in the caption, and modify the theme files ‎⁨(Documents ▸ ⁨Publii⁩ ▸ ⁨sites⁩ ▸ ⁨YOUR_SITE ▸ ⁨input⁩ ▸ ⁨themes⁩ ▸ ⁨YOUR_THEME) as follow:
```
{{caption}} or {{credits}}
```
to
```
{{{caption}}} or {{{credits}}}
```
To preserve your custom code and prevent it being overwritten the next time the theme is updated, please ensure that you have created override files; these are, essentially, copies of the existing theme files that are stored separately from the main theme files → https://getpublii.com/dev/theme-overrides/

Hello,
Thank you.

I very sorry, but I don’t know in which file to make this replacement… I searched for that string but did not find an exact match.

@clac1 You should be able to edit
{{caption}} {{credits}}

in the “index.hbs” and “post.hbs” files. If your theme has other templates, you’ll find that code there too. Not sure if the “amp-” files have to be edited as well, but I would just in case.

Hello,

I looked in the “index.hbs” and “post.hbs” files, there is no
```
{{caption}} or {{credits}}
```
I found only
```
{{caption}}
{{credits}}
```
Is it the statements to modify ?

Another question : to insert the link in caption, should I go in the html code or is there any way via the User Interface ?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that’s the statement to modify, as outlined in my reply.

To insert the hyperlink, highlight the text of the caption in the Post Editor and hit CTRL+K.

Thank you!

I tried it and it is OK for single image, but it seems to be not possible to add a ling in captions for images in a gallery… ?

I just tested it on my end: click on the gallery, and add the following HTML code in the respective “Image caption” field of the “Insert/Edit Gallery” dialog box:
```
caption text
```
Of course, replace ” https://website.com ” with the link and “caption text” with your caption.

I’m not sure why the comment engine added “nofollow”, but you can ignore that. Just add an < a > tag.
