    I want to do the following……..

    Alt Text: 56302 and 47375 on Blachford Viaduct

    Title: 56302 and 47375 are seen crossing Blachford Viaduct near Ivybridge working the 6Z23 China Clay Burngullow to Burton On Trent on the 8th March 2012.

    But when you look at the photo it only shows the Alt Text.

    I want to show the ‘Title’ but make the ‘Alt Text’ shorter for SEO reasons.

    How do I do this? Thank you.

  • Hi @jedicolin,

    Looking at the first image in your gallery it appears to be showing the Title correctly now. Is that the case?

    As far as the Alt text – are you able to indicate what settings you have set for your FooGallery and FooBox captions?

    I think I have sorted it out, thank you.

    Hi @jedicolin,

    That’s great to hear. I’ll mark this support request as resolved.

    Sorry but having had another look I have not sorted it.

    This is the info I put on for the photo:

    Alt Text: 71000 ‘Duke of Gloucester’ and 60163 ‘Tornado’

    Title: BR Standard Class 8P 4-6-2 Pacific No: 71000 ‘Duke of Gloucester’ and LNER A1 Class 4-6-2 No: 60163 ‘Tornado’ are seen passing through Totnes working the 1Z97 17.02 ‘Tamar Devonian’ Plymouth to Eastleigh on the 28th July 2012

    When you go to the gallery and look at that photo it shows the ‘Alt Text’ as the title. Why? Surely it should show what I wrote for the title?

    Just so you know, for now I have added what I wrote for the title back to the Alt text.

    Hello @phillcoxon

    When I do a website audit it shows that my ALT sentence is too long.

    This is what I usually do, example…..

    ALT Text: I took this photograph in a field near the hood bridge on the 6th June 2020

    Title: I took this photograph in a field near the hood bridge on the 6th June 2020

    When I shorten the ALT Text…..

    I took this photo near hood bridge on 6th June 2020

    The ‘title’ ends up the same when I don’t even alter it.

    Hello @phillcoxon

    I know that you are a busy person but I would love your help please, thank you.

    Hi @jedicolin,

    Sorry for the delay – we’re in the process of making changes to captions which has added to the delay with testing.

    Would you please email [email protected] and put “Attention: Phill” in the subject so I can work directly with you on this?
