Links in Captions
WordPress 3.4 Supports HTML in Captions!
Basic HTML support has been added to the caption field in the image uploader. This allows you to add links – great for photo credits or licensing details – and basic formatting such as bold and italicized text.
For WordPress 3.3.2 and earlier…finally you can add links to your image captions.
Adding links to captions is the 9th most popular request in the WordPress Ideas forum.
With this plugin, you can also use shortcodes in captions.
How to use
Inside the caption input, you can now add a link by using the following format: {a href="http://www.example.com"}Anchor text here{/a}, or alternatively you could use {link url="http://www.example.com"}Anchor text here{/link}.
You can also specify target, title, and rel attributes: {link url="http://www.example.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="I never could do this before!"}Anchor text here{/link}
