I have gone through the templates multiple times and have not found it. I have tried to remove it with the following line in the meta data of the galleries
Example at http://patricklynchphotography.com/gall … civil-war/
This gallery generally has neither Title nor Caption set in Lightroom, so that these fields are empty.
I have tried a variety of metadata strings without luck.
Current string is {Caption|Title} {Copyright}
But I have tried
{Caption:After=[title]|Caption|Title:After=[title]|Title} <br> Copyright {YYYY|yyyy} {Artist|"by the photographer"}
Bodega Bay October 2006 <br/> Copyright 2006 Patrick Lynch
{Caption:After=[title]|Caption|Title:After=[title]|Title} Copyright
{Caption|Title} {Copyright}
{Caption} {Copyright}
The text in the the display is square bracket, lower case title, right square bracket

square brackets [] don't do anything in the metadata fields as far as I know. I don't see anything about them in the the documentation
If you're trying to get metadata to appear on the large image pages, use the Caption field in the album template (Photo Presentation)
So if you want Caption | Title Copyright to appear beneath the image, use:
{Caption} | {Title} {Copyright}
If you want the Title to show if the Caption is empty, then use {Caption|Title}
If you don't want anything showing up, then clear the Caption field.
After making any metadata changes to the template, be sure to republish the albums.

I believe the issue was caused by an out of sync (takes a while.... read hours to sync) condition.
The onlly enhancement request would be on the
BacklightPublisherTop-level GalleriesGalleriesAlbums page, that it give a status to indicate that it is is in the sync process or not.

Read the conversation about captions. What if I wanted the Title above the Caption on two lines?

As an example, here is a large image page (done in CE4) with the correct Title and Caption layout: https://lucnadeau.ca/fr/galleries/01-be … single.php
and this what I can get (up to now) with Backlight
http://pideja.ca/luc/fr/oeuvres/2bestia … single.php
Of course, if there was a simple way to just import the CE4 gallery, it would be a lot easier.

Not possible.

So, tokens must be on a single line only, no other possibility.

no other possibility.
you can add a separator between tokens, like a vertical bar | or something.

In a related issue: do the breadcrumbs show for the large image presentation, like in CE4 ? This could be a workaround, of sorts: the title could appear in the breadcrumbs and the other metadata in the Caption area.
Offline
breadcrumbs appear on large image pages in the Single Image Pages presentation
you might be able to use jQuery to replace the breadcrumbs with the title on single image pages. You'd probably need to be able to use php to interrogate the database for the image title attribute.
too complicated for my brain.

Thanks.
My brain swells just at the thought of it!

my brain cringes. It would be another rabbit hole and probably hours and hours of really interesting but ultimately futile research and experimenting.

I agree. It is a pity that those functions were available in CE4 and removed from Backlight.
