Caption Disabler WordPress Plugin to Disable and Remove Captions Functionality
Since WordPress 2.6, WordPress has built in support for caption shortcode, which will automatically convert images, videos and other media embedded inside the code to have descriptive caption with framed border. Beside, when blogger or writer uploads and inserts (or pastes) an image by using WordPress Media Uploader, the [caption] and [caption] HTML short code is also automatically inserted.
For WordPress user or blogger who doesn’t want or doesn’t like the caption feature, WordPress developers have added a CAPTIONS_OFF constant into WordPress version 2.6. However, the constant has already been removed and no longer work. Instead, a filter hook called DISABLE_CAPTIONS has been added into WordPress 2.6.1 and all subsequent versions that allows user to disable image, picture, graphic, photo, video and other media captioning via plugin.
Caption Disabler is a WordPress plugin that removes and disables captions feature in WordPress so that all caption shortcode is not been parsed or translated, and no [caption] and [caption] HTML entities are automatically added while editing or writing.

Hi, it seems this has stopped working with 2.6.5? Is that correct? Also, how could get remove the captions on the blog roll page and keep it on the individual post page? I have been looking at the if(is_home() || is_front_page()) { constructions but not found it working yet.
