    I have been building a new version of my site with Elementor for 3 weeks now, so far so good. I cannot however seem to get the image widget to put in the “tool tip”, or image title text into the html. Alt text yes, but when I inspect, the title attribute is not there. You can add it manually when you “edit” a photo that has been inserted in a text widget. Am I missing something? Would this not be needed for SEO?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Yes it’s not update secure.. but thanks for this erenkorkmaz.

    Please Elementor, add this lines into your code, it’s really important for SEO !

    Not working. I have the same problem reported here.
    Support of Elementor is highly questionable.

    Hi,

    No news from Elementor team?

    This bug is still running.

    Please could you fix it?

    Thanks,

    Folks, your complaints about the lack of a title tag should go to WordPress and not Elementor. They are using the core WordPress function to render the images and WordPress has removed the title tag as of wp3.5.

    https://github.com/pojome/elementor/issues/4579

    The function: wp_get_attachment_image

    As mentioned previously there are ways to add the functionality back into WordPress with a plugin or custom php code and once you do that, images through Elementor will produce the title tags.

    Alternatively if you have Pro, you can use the custom Attributes feature to add title tags.

    Can you give me an example? Think is a big need for SEO, just got confirmed from SEO guru and totally understand that is not directly related to elementor, but would be nice to have a solution

    cheers

    @itism64 Might get this thread killed by discussing Pro features but here goes…

    In Elementor, for example an Image element, on the Advanced tab you’ll see a section for Attributes.

    In that textarea field you can add custom attributes, one on each line separating the “key” and “value” w/ a pipe symbol. (i.e. title|myimage)

    Keep in mind, attributes are applied to the top-most wrapping div of the element.

    The “original” html output may look like this:

    <div class="elementor-widget-image">
  <div class="elementor-widget-container">
    <div class="elementor-img">
      <img src="/path=to-your-img.jpg" />
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

    Using the Attributes example above, it would output on the front end like this:

    <div class="elementor-widget-image" title="myimage">
  <div class="elementor-widget-container">
    <div class="elementor-img">
      <img src="/path=to-your-img.jpg" />
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

    Whether this meets SEO standards I am not certain, I tried searching but couldn’t find anything that specifically addresses the effectiveness of title tags being applied to an img tag’s parent vs the img tag itself.
