Thanks for posting! I was looking for a way to get the attachment caption in a query and managed to use $image->post_excerpt.

I developed a custom way to get the title caption and description of the image attachment in an example I illustrated on my site:

Hi Jan,
If you look at the code snippet you’ll see that each piece of information for each image attachment is being pushed into an array…

You can get all the information from those arrays, alternatively, instead of pushing the info into arrays for use later, you can just echo out in that loop like so…

foreach ( $NewImages as $NewImage ) {
echo “image id:” + $NewImage->ID;
echo “image caption:” + $NewImage->post_excerpt;
echo “image description:” + $NewImage->post_content;
}

Hope this helps.
