Yep I’m testing with the same file, via WP Media it gets the description, via mpp it does not.

Hi Brajesh, yes I understand. For my requirement I am setting up a research site where users will upload photo’s showing particular aspects of their research and it’s very important that accompanying the photo is a description of some sort to put the photo into context.

I think it’s ok that in the grid view you do not see those descriptions, however it would be better if every photo had title and this was displayed rather than the filename, which is often meaningless.

Regarding the description, I’d like this to be displayed in the single media page/lightbox for the image. However that does not need to be the formal description, since that’s not currently being used. One option I was thinking of was to in some way force the user to add an opening comment for the image which would serve as a description, that way this would be displayed in the single media view as per the current functionality.

If we are going to use the description, could this not be displayed in a similar way to the comments? Comments cn obviously be variable length so similar formatting issues have already been dealt with. I guess the other option is to impose limits on the length of the description, however in a research context this is less than ideal.

That worked! Thanks Brajesh!

I’ve enabled that but it’s not displaying, must be a conflict of some kind I’m guessing. I’ll dectivate the other plugins in a bit.
