Inserting a link in image caption

Zapa

Hi!

I'm trying to insert a link in an image shortcut, specifically in the caption section, to credit the image owner.  I can put it in "text only" mode but when I insert a link the whole caption disappears.  How can we do this?

Thanks

Bryan

Hi,
did you try to insert html tags into the description?
<a href="#">Link</a>
thanks

Yep, that is correct.  This is the entire shortcode

[image src="https://www.streamyng.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Usuarios-social-video.png" width="800" height="760" align="center" border="0" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" link="" link_image="https://www.streamyng.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Usuarios-social-video.png" target="" alt="Comparativa usuarios de las diferentes plataformas donde publicar vídeos de marketing" caption="Extraída de la infografía original de Filmora" greyscale="0" animate=" fadeInUp"]


I guess there is some mess between the semicolons of the shortcode arguments and the html arguments. How can this be done?

(Actually i see it works here in the forum but it doesn't in the caption)

Bryan

Sorry but it will not work like this, you cannot pass links into shortcodes in HTML

Is there an alternative way to insert a link in the caption of the image element then?

Bryan

Do you mean the caption under the image or on the popup when it is enlarged ?

The caption under the image

I tested it and it works. I just inserted the image item into the muffin builder and added the link to the caption using plain HTML.

Sorry, I was meaning inserting the link in the shortcode, not the element in the muffin builder.  I use the Wordpress editor por blog posts and using the builder would mean to rebuild all CSS to match the rest of the blog posts.

So, the proper question would be: Is there another way to insert a link in the caption section of the image shortcode?

Thanks

Bryan

Sorry but it looks liek this will only work with the builder item, not the shortcode.
