can't add image title after 3.5 update

  • After updating to WordPress 3.5, setting image title is not possible without using workarounds and additional clicks which slow down your productivity.

    To reproduce:

    – edit post

    – click “Add media”

    – click on “Upload files” – only then it’s possible to choose “Select files”, this regression and additional click is introduced by WordPress 3.5

    – choose the file you want to upload

    – you will see “Attachment Details” to the right – with options like Title, Caption – in “Title”, put any new title, like “New title which won’t work” and hit “Insert into post”

    – the newly inserted image will have no title, although it was set a while ago!

    – you have to edit the image, go over the settings again and set the title once again to set the title – yet another regression introduced by WordPress 3.5.

  • This is indeed annoying. All my images have proper titles set when I export them from Lightroom, and I’m used to them appearing. While it’s easy enough to reinstate the title, it’s more clicks and more time, which is a problem for a lot of users.

    As others have pointed out, this causes problems for at least some lightbox plugins, as well as slowing down people’s workflow.

    I’m pretty sure that the old functionality could be restored with a relatively simple plugin, but as I have the coding skills of a petunia, I’ll struggle to do that…

    Dear wordpress

    Here it’s much clearer the bug: https://localm2.com/wordpress-3-5-update-first-bug-report/

    Please fix it

    Thank you

    Merry Chrismas
