First off, there aren’t any “developers”, there’s just me.

I wrote a very basic, very simple plugin to reverse a change made in WordPress that was causing a problem for me. As other people were having similar issues, I shared it with the community.

As it’s such a simple thing, development is limited to making sure it doesn’t break when WP is upgraded. If you need additional features, or changes, this probably isn’t the plugin you’re looking for.

The plugin takes effect when an image is uploaded – changing existing images would need a completely different approach, which would need a better understanding of database edits than I have.

Sorry not to be of more help.

Are you thinking of your wordpress.com account information? If so, start here:

Or use the other support options there – we can’t help here.

Good to know – thanks for confirming that ??

Hi

It’s working on my sites with WP 4.0, and I’m not aware of any changes in WP that would break it.

If it’s not working for you, it could be another plugin or your theme is cancelling out my plugin.

Where are you getting the problem? Is it that the title attribute isn’t appearing when you upload an image, or is it there, but not being inserted in posts?

Sorry, just catching up with things…

Keeping everything in the forum so others can benefit is much the best way.

Upload your screenshot to your site, or to an image sharing service and post a link here together with a statement of the problem, and I’ll look into it.

I’m not sure what you’re asking…

All the plugin does is stop WordPress from stripping out the title from inserted images. If you want to see a tooltip when your mouse hovers over the image, or if you’re using a Lightbox plugin that relies on the image title, this (very simple) plugin should do what you need.

There’s nothing you need to do other than activate the plugin in the usual way.

Rather than go into too much detail here about what it does, you can read what I wrote about it when I ran into the problem:

Blog post about missing image titles

And this is where I found a fix for the problem:

Blog post about restoring titles

Might have been a routing problem earlier – I’m on Virgin, and couldn’t get to anything on www.remarpro.com for a while this evening. Seems normal now.

It’s taken a while for me to get to it, but there’s a new version available now that incorporates your code – thanks.

Good to know – thanks.

I’ve updated the plugin, and it’s available now.

Thanks for the reminder – I’ve just had a quick look, and done a bit of fiddling on my test site.

Adding the code suggested by photoMaldives in this support thread restored the tooltip to the thumbnails in a gallery, and added titles to lightbox images.

I’ll do some more tests and update the plugin.

In the meantime, adding this code:

function my_get_attachment_link_filter( $content,$id ) {
        $title = get_the_title($id);
        $new_content = str_replace('<a ', '<a title="' . esc_attr($title) . '" ', $content);
        return $new_content;
}
add_filter('wp_get_attachment_link', 'my_get_attachment_link_filter', 10, 4);

before the closing %> in the existing version should sort it out.

Now updated to WP Edit 2.0 (I’m on a moderately slow mobile connection at present, so didn’t see this until now).

Reactivated Custom Styles…

And it works ??

Many thanks for sorting this out.

No problem – and no rush. This is what I’d call a “nice to have” feature which I use sparingly rather than an “oh no, everything’s broken” one. ??

Hi Josh – got the updated version, and given it a quick try, but we still have borkage.

The plugin now activates without any error messages, but it does this to the editor:

That’s a post with content, which isn’t accessible in this state. Deactivating custom styles makes this go away.

A lesser issue is that the options page looks like this:

I’ll only have limited opportunities for testing over the next week or so, but if you’ve got any ideas, please let me know

Hi Josh

I sent it through your contact form at the time. I think. I’ve just sent a fresh one.
