    Without seeing the site, it's kind of hard to see what may be happening. If you want to PM me the URL, I can take a quick look.

    EDIT:
    Or not
    Let me know if you need a hand.

    What version of WordPress are you on?

    I can't imagine that you'd be running a version of WP that doesn't support the caption shortcode, so the next explanation is that your theme is using 'get_the_content()' or 'get_the_excerpt()' function calls instead of 'the_content()' or 'the_excerpt()'. There are a number of reasons for doing this, but the end result is what you see.

    The theme needs to be repaired in order for you to use captioned images in your front page. The content needs to be run through the WP content filters before it's echoed to the page, i.e.,
    Code:
    $ content = get_the_content();
$ content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $ content );
echo $ content;
    (there is a space after the $ sign in the code because this funky post editor strips them out otherwise )

      I had seen this on another post so your probably spot on, where do i enter this code exactly? Thanks

    Without seeing the theme file(s) there's no way I can tell you exactly where to put the code - or even be certain which file it's in. You'll just have to search through the theme file code until you find the correct section, or maybe hire someone to fix it for you. Have you contacted the theme author?

    This thread probably needs to get moved to the Programming forum, if any mods want to do that. Doesn't exactly belong in the main forum.
