    I love this plugin. However, I can't seem to edit my existing captions. When I click on the hyperlink next to my gallery, "Edit captions and settings," the page with the list of my galleries simply reloads. The only way I can add captions is to recreate the xml file, which erases the order and existing captions.

    Also, I plan to update my galleries every so often. Does this mean I will always have to rewrite all of my captions when I add a new picture to the xml file?

    Thanks!

    I'm having this exact same issue. WP 2.7, Apache.

    I also get an error in the FF Error Console, not sure if it's related. This comes when I click on the "Edit captions..." link.

    Error: jQuery(".wp_simpleviewer_tips").tTips is not a function

    Solved!
    Hello everybody,

    i found the bug for changing the caption.
    Please change the following line 358 in wp-simpleviewer-admin.php
    from:
    $editxml_url = 'edit.php?page='.$plugin_file.'&wp_simpleviewer_gallery='.$directory_name.'&wp_simpleviewer_form_option=editxml';

    to:
    $editxml_url = 'tools.php?page='.$plugin_file.'&wp_simpleviewer_gallery='.$directory_name.'&wp_simpleviewer_form_option=editxml';

    Pleas notice that all changes you make are At Your Own Risk.
    Good Look

    Not working for me. I have the exact problem but that line of code is not on line 358 and find & replace doesn't even find it. I'm using Coda to edit in.

    GuySmiley you said it fixed your issue, so am I right in thinking that when you set your captions on each photo. Then when you add a new photo or just recreate the gallery the captions stay. Because in my website where I'm using:

    NextGEN FlashViewer 1.3
    NextGEN Gallery 1.2.0
    WP-SimpleViewer 1.4-beta1

    It doesn't work it just keeps clearing the captions to the default value. After every recreation.

    It didn't work for me even when I used Thomas' fix on version 1.3.3. Can anyone help please.
