Captioning with metadata not working as expected

Captions for slide show images not showing properly.
I have a gallery based on the pangolin gallery template. In the pangolin template > Photo Presentation > Captions > Tokens I have {Title} {Caption} {Copyright} {RightsUsageTerms}

image

I am uploading images to this gallery using LR Publisher.
I have 2 images in the gallery so far. The Title and Caption have been set.

I publish the images to my gallery. When I view the large image in the slideshow, I see this. The Title is not there. Everything else is fine.

Why is the Title not being included?

I have:
Cleared Template Cache
Cleared browser cache.
Removed the two images from my collection, published those changes (now an empty gallery), then re-inserted the two images into the collection and re-published.
Checked my spelling of “Title”
Checked to make sure I am using curly braces for the token.

??? A real head-scratcher.

I would also like to further add: I am in the process of switching everything out from Okapi to Pangolin. Yeah, I know, about time.
With Okapi, I used a Standard Album Template. When I go into that template’s design > Image Settings > Image Metadata > Photos Caption I see {Caption} {City} {State} {Country} - © {Copyright} - {RightsUsageTerms}

So it appears that somehow, this is being used, instead of what I have defined in the Pangolin Gallery Template. What clued me in, was the inclusion of that “-” (dash). How, I’m not sure. Where could the wires be crossed here?

Did you set the correct album template for the album in question? Can’t think of anything else.

Any particular reason that you’re starting a new site design with Pangolin instead of Kookaburra?

Yup. For sure I am using the correct album template - Pangolin Gallery Template, which is based upon Pangolin Standard Page.

With regard to Pangolin instead of Kookaburra. No particular reason. I have yet to even venture into Kookaburra. I will have to give that some research.

Can you share a link to your album?

If you don’t need the cart or client response modules, then I definitely would start with Kookaburra. It’s the newest module and provides many cool features! It’s the way to go for new designs.

I need Cart, so my main galleries will have to go with Pangolin. All my other pages - we’ll have to see how KB works out. Cheers.
