Cannot get caption in <upm_image>

I’m obviously missing something but I cannot coax a caption out of this plugin.

Here’s my article form:

<txp:upm_article_image />
<txp:upm_img_caption />
<h2><txp:title /></h2>
<p>By <txp:author link=“y” /></p>
<p><txp:body /></p>

I’ve tried a million different ways but no caption. Any love?

PS My images do have text entered on both lines

Re: Cannot get caption in <upm_image>

As the plugin documentation states:

Customizing Output

Supply the image id or name, and the form to be used. The form may be named anything, I’ve simply supplied a default name for ease-of-use.

The tags available to you from within this form are fairly self-explanatory. They will only work when the form is called by upm_image or upm_article_image.

<txp:upm_article_image form="img_caption" />

<h2><txp:title /></h2>
<p>By <txp:author link="y" /></p>
<p><txp:body /></p>

<txp:upm_img_caption /> <!-- in a form named "img_caption" -->

Re: Cannot get caption in <upm_image>

I have read those intructions one hundred times and never understood how to do it until now. THANK YOU. It now works.

For the record, what I did to get 1) an image 2) a caption 3) the article is make my article form look like this:

<txp:upm_article_image /><br>
<txp:upm_article_image form=“img_Caption” />
<h2><txp:title /></h2>
<p>By <txp:author link=“y” /></p>
<p><txp:body /></p>

Cheers and thanks, Mary.
