How to Display Captions/Titles in the Fullscreen Gallery

The fullscreen gallery, or fullscreen mode in WooThumbs for WooCommerce, allows you to add captions or titles to each product image/media to give your customers more information.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting them up.

Add captions to your product images

The first thing you’ll need to do is add captions to your product images. You can either do this while uploading your images, or through the WordPress Media Library.

In the following steps, we’ll walk you through how to edit existing product images. But these steps can also be applied while uploading too.

  1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to Media > Library, then locate the product images you want to add captions to.

  2. Scroll down the page until you reach the Caption section, and add your caption text here.

Now we have our caption text set, we need to adjust a setting within WooThumbs to have them appear in fullscreen mode.

Turn on captions for fullscreen mode

  1. From your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > WooThumbs and click the Fullscreen tab/link at the top of the page.
  2. Scroll down the page until you see the Enable Image Title setting, and change the dropdown to Yes.

  1. Once happy, scroll up or down the page and click the blue Save Changes button.

Note: This setting turns on the use of titles and captions in fullscreen mode for all products. So if you don’t have captions set for all your product images, it will fall back to using the image title instead.
