Product image caption controls in Elementor
Content sets the product (the current one or a selected product), text before the caption, whether credit links and italics are kept, whether the caption follows the chosen variation, the HTML tag and an optional icon. The Style tab covers typography, colour, alignment, background, border, radius and padding, plus icon colour, size, gap and position.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use product image caption
WooCommerce product galleries never show image captions, so notes like “Shown in Arctic white” or a photographer's credit stay hidden in the Media Library. Product image caption shows the caption of the product image wherever you place it, keeps credit links and italics, and on a variable product's page changes to the chosen variation's image caption.
Photo credits
Credit the photographer with a link.
Variable products
Describe each variation's photo as shoppers choose.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Product image caption compatibility with Elementor

- Shows the caption, not the image.
- Public products only.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot product image caption
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is nothing shown?
The product image has no caption. Add one in the Media Library; the editor explains which is missing.
Why does the caption not change with the variation?
The variation's image has no caption, so the product caption stays.
Why is my link missing?
Keep links and emphasis is off, or the link was written as plain text.
Does it follow variations on other pages?
No. Only on the variable product's own page, where the variation form is.
Product image caption plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor and WooCommerce.
Which caption is shown?
The Media Library caption of the product's main image.
Is HTML in captions safe?
Only links, bold and italics are kept; everything else is removed.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is text with normal links, and the optional icon is hidden from screen readers.
Does it change images?
No. It only reads captions.
