I have this question on the Wordpress stack exchange as well, but not having any luck there. So, as my solution probably involves me hard-coding php and css, It may be better to have it here.
I'm using 'Flex Slider' plugin - that works on top of 'WP rotator' plug-in on my Wordpress 3.2 website. I have it implemented fine, and beginning to look at inserting my content - but I need to add a caption to be on top of the slider. As are present on most sliders on the web, within the documentation of the non-Wordpress plugin of the tool it suggests I can do something like;
<div class="flex-container">
<div class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
<li>
<img src="slide1.jpg" />
<p class="flex-caption">Captions and cupcakes. Winning combination.</p>
</li>
<li>
<img src="slide2.jpg" />
<p class="flex-caption">This image is wrapped in a link!</p>
</li>
<li>
<img src="slide3.jpg" />
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Problem is; with the Wordpress plug-in version, I can't find that markup to work inside.
Here's the only non-css non-js file in the plug-ins directory, so I assume I have to work in there.
I've tried inserting the mark-up that was suggested non-Wordpress above, but not sure where to insert it as it's broke it with my attempts thus far.

I have contacted the plug-in developer, he's not responding so I assume hes not going to support my question - so I'm left to handcode.
