image title from WP media library is not imported

  • Hello,

    I have taken great care to assign meaningful titles to the images in my WordPress media library. But when I create a new gallery via import from media library, the image title is NOT imported (instead, the image title in the gallery is the image name, i.e. whatever is before the .jpg in the file name).

    This is extremely frustrating if I need to re-edit all the images in the gallery again (what I already did in the media library) before being able to display titles.

    Is there a better solution than re-editing?

    Thanks

    Hi @dillhausen,

    NextGen Gallery will map the WP Media image’s Caption as Title and the Description as Description.

    The main reason behind is that WP Media also populates the title from the image’s filename.

    I suggest you look for a solution that’d allow you to automatically and bulk copy the WP Media as Caption using a database query, for example.

    UPDATE wp_posts
SET post_excerpt = post_title
WHERE post_type = 'attachment';

    Make sure you back up your site and database before proceeding.
