[Pro] Whats up with captions?!

First time i’ve ever had the need to apply captions to a gallery (bloxx) but thought it was a responsive template?

Can anyone explain why the caption type fits so badly into the image header (shown below) - (apart from me having to make the text tiny to fit? I assumed it would scale to fit…

First example viewed at an ‘average’ desktop size:

Second example - window a little smaller, text is crossing over the buttons and looks nasty:

Final example, smaller window still, such as a mobile, text is now bigger and spills over image:

I assume I’m doing something stupid in Exhibeo?!

Hi Neil,

If you let me know your breakpoints I can give you some CSS to add to your page to make the title smaller. It’s still going to be pretty hard to fit all that text in that small space though. That area is really designed to fit a title as opposed to a description (the description appears under the image when under a certain size, otherwise alongside it).

You could try putting “Wolf Road Evolution” in the title and the current title in the description. You’ll still probably need some CSS to make the title smaller though so do send along your breakpoints.

Hi Joe,

Many thanks for the swift reply and apologies for the bluntness of my post - it was a long day yesterday!

Thank you for your input, I think the best route will be to go back to my client and give them a maximum length for the caption, then put the rest in the description box.

I’ll see how we get on and report back, if this is not suitable then we’ll go down the css route.

Thanks again Joe.
