If Empty then Auto INsert Image Title and Alt tag

I think you can override the default result by editing the image item via the WordPress Media Library. Try changing the title and alternative text of the media item via the Media Library Edit screen.

Eric – thank you for the reply back, but it still over rides the manual / update image tags….

I’ll post an example shortly – have to take a call.

Hello,jimii

Waiting for your example in which case that is happening.

Regards.

Maria, thank you for the follow up and for waiting on this.

I’ll add clarity to my original post.

When the Title and ALT tags for images are empty WPP auto fills both fields with the property title – which is fine for those who don’t complete the tags.

However when you insert a title tag WPP also appends the page title to the title field and it auto fills the ALT tag with the title tag as well. This happens even when you insert a different alt tag and this shouldn’t happen.

When someone inserts a caption – the caption overrides everything and is placed in the Title and the ALT Tag – but thankfully however it doesn’t append the page title.
The information inserted into the caption field should not override the Title and ALT tags.

If not clear, I can put this in a table and email it to make it more clear.

Can you give me steps how can I replicate your issue. In my case it doesn’t overwrite image options.

Regards.

I created a sample property https://www.islandrealestate.com/view/a-sample-property-with-3-images/ – its on the live site so i password protected it: 123

I wont want to leave it there forever – if you could let me know once you’ve seen what you need.

4 images in the sample that reflect in the “view source”

1st image does not have the title, alt or caption completed – result below

2nd has the Title and Alt Completed as “Image Title Tag 2 and “ALT tag 2” – result below

3rd has the Title and ALT completed plus a Caption as “Image Title Tag 3” and “ALT tag 3” and “Caption for 3rd Image” – result below

4th has just an ALT tag inserted as “Just the ALT Tag” but you’ll see in the source code simply “” meaning the ALT tag doesn’t function at all – except to duplicate content that might be in the caption or title tag. – result below

They produced the following:
1st Image title=” – A Sample Property with 3 images”
alt=””
class=”wpp_gallery_widget_image size-thumbnail “
width=”195″
height=”130″/>

2nd Image title=”Image Title Tag 2 – A Sample Property with 3 images”
alt=”Image Title Tag 2″
class=”wpp_gallery_widget_image size-thumbnail “

3rd Image: title=”Caption for 3rd Image”
alt=”Caption for 3rd Image”
class=”wpp_gallery_widget_image size-thumbnail “
4th Image
title=” – A Sample Property with 3 images”
alt=””
class=”wpp_gallery_widget_image size-thumbnail “
thank you.

Hello.

I have found what are you talking about. We will try to resolve that in the next release.

If you could keep that property as example for few weeks that will be also helpful.

Regards.

Thank you Maria – will do. If I can provide any more information or assist further, please let me know. jim
