Topic: captions

Here are two custom caption stylings to increase the font-size and to change the font-family.
The first one does not show up in the site although the image itself is fully functional.

<caption><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: 20px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000; ">Peonies, watercolor on rice paper, 15.5"H x 13.5"W  - SOLD</span>]]></caption>

This second one does work, shows up, along with the image, etc.

<caption><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: 20px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000; ">Iris I, mixed watermedia collage, 24"H x 16"W - SOLD</span>]]></caption>


As far as I can see, they are completely identical except for the caption data itself. What can be wrong?

Here is a screen capture of the first image with no caption of a second image with a caption, per the html styles from above.

Re: captions

First of all, try completely clearing your browser's cache (or use a different browser, one that you've not previously used to view your gallery, e.g. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari), in case you've modified your gallery's 'config.xml' file but your browser is still using an older, cached version.

Otherwise, please post a link to your gallery's web page (or email it to me at steven@juicebox.net) so that I can actually inspect the gallery itself (I appreciate the screenshot but I cannot really troubleshoot an image).
Once I'm able to see the gallery live on your web server, I can view the gallery for myself, check the gallery's 'config.xml' file and use browser developer tools to delve further. Hopefully I'll be able to determine the exact cause of the problem and propose a solution. Thank you.
