Title Attribution Importance

    I haven’t been able to find title attributes on Gutenberg Editor after taking off the Classic Editor. I can only find the alt text of images now.

    I wanted to know if not having title attributes to images on my site would even be important or worth thinking about. After some Google searching, I found this article:

    Does anyone have any advice about title attributes on images and their significance?

  • The TITLE should be in the ADVANCED section of the image block’s settings in the right panel.

    As to it’s significance today, I’ll quote what WHATWG, the organization made up of he browser vendors that develops the HTML standard says:

    Relying on the title attribute is currently discouraged as many user agents do not expose the attribute in an accessible manner as required by this specification (e.g., requiring a pointing device such as a mouse to cause a tooltip to appear, which excludes keyboard-only users and touch-only users, such as anyone with a modern phone or tablet).

    Note that you also have the CAPTION field right below the image, where you can input descriptive text for the image.
