    Hi all,

    I am setting-up a website using the Metro Pro theme. I have all the Genesis Featured Posts set-up as in the theme demo.

    I am trying to find a way to add attributions for the photos that I use on the homepage within the Genesis Featured Posts.

    When I write an actual post, it is possible to add an attribution for photos I use, by clicking 'Add Media' and then adding a caption (with the attribution) to the photo that I select.

    However, when I then go to add a Featured Image, I click 'Set Featured Image', choose an image, and add an attribution into the caption area - but the caption doesn't show up within the Featured Posts widgets on the homepage. The same is true for any info I add to the 'Title' or 'Description' areas.

    Given this is the case, could anyone suggest how I can add attributions to photos I use within the Featured Posts areas on my homepage?

    I am new to Word Press, so it would need to be a relatively simple solution that I can apply without coding skills. I'd be most grateful for any advice.

    Thank you!

    Thank you! I tried using the plugin, but again it only seems to add an attribution (with web link) to the photo on the post, rather than the photo as displayed in the Featured Posts widget on the homepage. I appreciate the suggestion though.
