Captions don't show up in Lightbox2 images on my site, and it says in settings that this is "usually the title." I thought it might be the module "Exclude Node Title," so I turned it off, but captions still don't show up.

I'm displaying the pictures in a simple gallery using views (it shows the content as a grid and does not utilize fields). Are there any other things to typically troubleshoot with captions? I'm also assuming that the use of a field other than title to display captions is not yet supported? (as discussed Issue 2075515)

Thanks-

Wow, thanks for the help everyone! /sarcasm

Anyway, I got it working now...for anyone else with this issue, you can get captions on Lightbox2 images in Drupal by:

1 - edit the "image" field for your content type by going to structure >> content types >> "manage fields" for your content type and then "edit" for whichever field is using image

2 - Make sure "enable ALT field" and Enable Title field" are checked (not sure how long those have been there and why I didn't see those before)

3 - when editing your content type and uploading the image, input text for "title."

And of course, make sure the "show captions" checkbox is checked in Lightbox2 settings (admin > config> user interface) but I think this is checked by default.

Now when clicking on your lightbox images you will see the text for title in the caption. See screenshots.
