{Filename}, {Caption} Yep, just like this and I do re-publish each time. Would it make a difference if my original LR images are very large Tif files? I also saved my Metadata to files prior to publishing.
Strange, first image didn't have Caption. So I gave it one, I hadn't tried that yet. Well now caption works for all the others too. OK then let's remove caption from first image and see if it still works, yep, that one small change the only one, had persistence. I suspect it there is an uninitialized variable somewhere.

Note: these images were all scanned with VueScan so I have no idea if it initialized the caption field correctly.
Thank you for the easy upgrade path to Backlight 3.
I am using "single-image pages".
I would like the Filename and the Caption to appear below the image.
In Design Templates - Album settings - Photo Presentation I put "{Filename}, {Caption}" in the Token field and set it to center.
The first Image shows no filename but displays {caption}. All the rest of the images display the "actual_filename, {Caption}". Checking a Backlight 2 gallery of mine on another domain the first image displayed both correctly, however the rest only showed the caption.
1) I republished all images after each change. No image has a title some have Captions and all have a filename.
2) I have purged the respective caches
I must be simple; for the life of me I can't find it. I would be OK having only a caption. I found images without titles display the filename in the breadcrumbs. I'd rather have both together.

Thank you

Looks like I have my solution. I don't mind the third party plugin. Once a photo has been identified I will send it to a Backlight gallery.
Rod I can't imagine you having "way too much time on his hands" with all the help you provide on this site.
Thank you,
Bruce
Very Satisfied :-)
Rod, That's almost, or may be, exactly what I want. Hopefully the comments can be visible to all visitors. Also, I don't want them to have to enter their name and email each time. I'd like that to be picked up from their login credentials. Are those two things doable with WordPress? Those are the only concerns I have with your suggestion. It meets my "clean to the eye" requirement. And so does your art. I really enjoyed clicking through your images. I'm partial to the one on which I commented.
Bruce
Thank you for the direct answer Matthew. Yes, hoping for a simple interface where anyone could edit or add to a comment field. I turned here first because I like how clean Backlight is to the eye. I'm dealing with a bunch of 70-80+ year olds so everything needs to be/look simple or they won't use it. I may have to open my wallet for a custom solution. I still plan on using Backlight for all my galleries and blog.
again, thank you
Bruce
suggestions from others are welcome. :-)
I have a little experience with CE products from a long time ago and I helped my son set up a Backlight site a couple of yeas ago. But I have a very special need at the moment.
I am in the process of digitizing a thousand or more glass plates my grandfather took in the early 1900's. It is a fun project, however even the babies in these negatives are long deceased. I need to create a site that will allow all our family members to weigh in and collaborate on what the picture is, and identify the people and share their ideas like; "Oh, Yeah, I remember dad telling me about the circus monkey and all the jones kids came over". There were 8 children. Bottom line I need a crowd sourcing site to identify photos within the family. I'm giving this a high priority because some of the grandchildren have already passed and others are well in their 80's. Need I say Time is running out.
So can Backlight do this for me out of the box? C,ould it do so with modification? Or should I be looking at another solution for the collaborative piece. I like Backlight and what Mathew has done so it will be my galleries and main engine. But I need a solution.
Thank You,
Bruce Bell
