I have suddenly lost captions on my images after updates. I’ve had to roll back to version 2.92 to display the captions. I’ve tried all versions after 2.92 and no captions are displayed.

The major change in 2.94 is the removal of jQuery, another change was the renaming of attributes for captions in 2.97 and 2.99. If you use a cache, please make sure that the whole cache gets updated including all enqueued scripts. You may also try to disable the cache temporary just to make sure that this does not cause problems.

I tried disabling the cache and also autoptomize and asset clean up plugins but still no captions. I will try disabling my plugins one at a time in case something is causing this. I haven’t installed any new plugins for quite some time though.

I think I found the problem. The captions on your site are added using a “aria-describedby” attribute in the links to the image and it seems the support for that does not work any more after version 2.92.

I’ll fix this as soon as possible, sorry for the confusion.

Release 2.100 should fix this. I verified the correct function with a test case which uses the images in the same way as your website:
```
<figure>
  <div>
   <a href="..."><img src="..." aria-describedby="gallery-4-39664" /></a>
  </div>
  <figcaption id="gallery-4-39664">CAPTION HERE</figcaption>
</figure>
```
