Hi,
Currently I am having two issues with the smart list.
1. It’s not showing the Caption of images in smart list.
2. Whenever a user clicks the image/gif which has a caption in smart list, it’s redirect the users to 404 Page not found page.
Some of the smart list posts.

Thanks!
Same here.
Hi,
The caption works on smartlists but please do not use html in the caption as this field will not work properly with html just simple text. Do not use anchor tags or div’s.
I tested the captions again on all smartlists and it works as expected
Thank you!
But i need to use the HTML as the source link of the image/gifs we are curating from internet. We have more than 1000+ images already on site.
Is there is a code that can be used to fix it? and what about the first issue? Why the caption isn’t showing up? It used to show earlier but after the Newspaper 7 update it’s not.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no ‘fix’ for this. Smartlists show only the default caption, not html code. I also saw another issue that might cause the 404 errors: You have double comma’s on your links: http://screencast.com/t/flTchSP1c If you must use links on your images, use them without the comma’s.
In order to remove the lightbox from the smartlists, you can delete this code from the theme files: http://screencast.com/t/T1SfkOLkk so the image will not use the lightbox as it will provide a image not found error if lightbox is not linked to media file: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modal-window/
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
But in wordpress the “default” caption for an image allows html-Code. Why do you clean up here?
Hi,
I understand the situation but the wordpress default theme does not have a smartlist. A smartlist is different from a standard post. It will show captions but it will not recognize html code. You can use html in a standard post image if you chose to.
Thank you!
But due to copyright law you have to credit the author/photographer (some with link) and thats why this is very important. Maybe in a future update?
I will add this as a suggestion for future updates and we hope in a future version the captions inside smartlists will accept html. I will pass this information on to the development team.
Thank you for your suggestion.
