Sorry to re-open this, but now all of my backlinks also use the caption,
see sidebar here <https://www.mentalnodes.com/>. What a weird behaviour! I
want the caption to be the caption and the title to be the title.
The only reason I added a caption was so I could add a meta description for
search engines with {{!caption} — is there another way I should go about
this?
Thanks so much!
