Hi, thanks for the feedback. More control over the content displayed in the lightbox is planned for a future update.

Sounds good, could you point me to the correct file to patch for now? Been searching but can't find where the texts under the image are set.

Hi, here is a tutorial for customizing theme layouts. You can see the currently-supported template tags on this page as well.

any updates on this?

I would like to replace the item.title from file name to alternate text of the image. Where can I change that?

HI @glewe, alt text is not an option for direct output. WordPress uses the file name as an image's default title if a custom title is not set (e.g. when the image is uploaded).

See SLB's documentation for more details on how the title content is selected for the lightbox.
