Is there an easy hook to display a featured image with caption (on the blog page)? add something like : <?php the_post_thumbnail(); echo ....? Thank you

I don't think you need external coding for this. - when you insert an image into a post, fill in the "Caption" field - and just to the right of the "Insert into Post" button, click the "Use as Featured Image" link Post back if you're looking for something else.

No. This works only for the images inside the post but not for featured Images (at least with PlatFormPro). I really think that I'll need to add some PHP in the template.postloop.php Someone could help with code to add? Thank you

You can add the final function from here:

and use the_post_thumbnail_caption() to output in the template.postloop.php file right after any reference to the_post_thumbnail()

It worked Thank you Adam!

i tried adding the code function the_post_thumbnail_caption() { global $post; $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->id); $args = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => $post->ID, 'include' => $thumb_id ); $thumbnail_image = get_posts($args); if ($thumbnail_image && isset($thumbnail_image[0])) { //show thumbnail title echo $thumbnail_image[0]->post_title; //Uncomment to show the thumbnail caption //echo $thumbnail_image[0]->post_excerpt; //Uncomment to show the thumbnail description //echo $thumbnail_image[0]->post_content; //Uncomment to show the thumbnail alt field //$alt = get_post_meta($thumbnail_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); //if(count($alt)) echo $alt; } } from the wordpress forum post mentioned above to the bottom of my functions.php file. as you may be able to tell, i'm a prrty skanky hack who's just guessing for now. anyway, couldn't get the captions to display on the featured image thumbnails.
