Hi, wonderful plugin and incredibly easy to setup and use.

Is there a way to display the title of the photo in the lightbox?

Ideally I would like to display the title and caption, or title and description.

Thank you!

I figured out a way to “hack” around this by putting the title and caption in the description with custom classes and hiding the original caption that the lightbox displays.

I enabled the “.. also use description if available” checkbox and used the following CSS to hide the caption:
```
.pswp__caption__center {    position: relative;
    left: -9999px;}

.pswp__description {    position: relative;
    left: 9999px; margin-top:-25px}
```

There are already many ways to get the caption, but some are only used if others are not available. The next major update will contain a bit more control about what things are used for the caption at all and it will also provide a nice tabbed backend interface ;-).
