no idea why the styles should be effected – i can have a quick look if you post a link to your site, to a post/page with captions.

have you tried this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/links-in-captions/
imho, a cleaner alternative.

Thank you so much for the code. I’ve gone through so many different versions from different sources for adding image caption links, and yours was the simplest and the only one that actually worked smoothly. My one question is:

How do I assign a css style specific to the caption and caption link? After I added your code to my functions.php, my captions seem to have taken on my and styles.

Thank you, Zack, for this clean solution.
the syntax is so close to a html link tag, that it is quite easy to remember.

I am going to link to it when the plugin is in the wordpress plugin directory.

I created a plugin that has the same functionality, as well as target and rel capabilities. It's been submitted to the WordPress.org plugin directory: Links in Captions Plugin. It uses shortcode functionality instead of the ## concept to parse the links. It's not yet live on WordPress.org, so until that time, you can access the download here.

Thanks for this mate. You have just resolved a day long problem I’ve been having with WP. I’ve also modified your code to open the link in a blank window. Thanks again mate. Keep up the good work!
