    Can I display the Caption under the Thumbnail? Like it does at the Album level.
    Thanks

    Sure you can, Lsprout!

    You just need to add the HTML tags you want it wrapped in (either a div or a span or a td, whatever you are using), then just call the functions echo plogger_get_picture_caption();
    -or-
    print plogger_get_picture_caption();    for the caption orecho plogger_get_picture_description();
    -or-
    print plogger_get_picture_description();    for the description.

    I also want to use captions on the thumbnail but I'm not sure how to implement sidtheduck's advice. Am I to wrap the caption in a tag? I can do that if that's what is called for. My second question is more confusing to me. . . How do I call the function?

    Thanks,
    Anne

    Anne,

    In the theme directory, under the theme you are using, if you enter the code in your 'album.php' file (within the "pictures" loop):<?php echo plogger_get_picture_description() ?>that will output the description for the thumbnail. If you want the description in a <div> tag, then an example of your code could look like:<div class="thumb-description">
    <?php echo plogger_get_picture_description() ?>
    </div>

    Does that make sense?
