![]() Here you find Image Title Attribute as well as Image CSS Class ( of which I spoke in a previous article), Open link in a new tab, Link rel, and Link CSS Class. To do so you have to add the image to the post, then reopen it by selecting it and clicking the pen icon in the top left hand corner, and toggle the Advanced Options section of the Image Details modal window. In the current incarnation of WordPress the title attribute for the image itself and also the optional image link are added separately. This resulted in the title of the image appearing as a tooltip any time a mouse hovered over it. In previous incarnations of WordPress the Title field was mapped to the optional HTML title attribute. You can also use the Title to search for images in your media archive. This is the title of the Attachment Post for the image and just like a regular post the title will define the pretty for the attachment post. Title defaults to the name of the file but should be changed to a descriptive title of the image. The title is the only attachment detail required by WordPress. When you add a new image to a post you are prompted to add so-called “Attachment Details”. These attachment details are probably the most ignored and underutilized features of WordPress and if you learn what they are and how to use them you’ll never ignore them again: Title Images and Attachment Posts can carry a lot of metadata This gives you a list of all the attachment posts associated with uploaded media items on the site.ĭepending on your current theme you may also be able to access the Attachment Post page for the image from the front end of your site, and this attachment page may display some of or all of the meta data associated with the image. Once the image is added you can edit its Attachment Post by clicking the Media button in WordPress admin. Let’s start at the beginning: When you add an image to WordPress, whether it be as a Featured Image (previously “post thumbnail”), an image in a post or page, or as a header image, you are actually creating a new Attachment Post. Every Image has its own Attachment Post The Attachment Details fields show up any time you add an image to a post or page In this article I’ll explain what the Title, Caption, Alt Text, and Description fields are all about and why they matter more than you think. Images play an important role in web publishing, and WordPress makes it easy to add images to your content in several different ways. What you probably didn’t know is that taking a few extra minutes to fill in the “Attachment Details” for your images can improve their communicative value, create better user experiences for your visitors, and bring more people to your site. ![]()
