    Hello

    Why removed in 3.9 can fill the title (title) link an image in advanced image options?
    The option is replaced by the title of the image (title of src), but probably useful link title image was equally.

    This title serves many lightbox plugins or similar to insert the text of the title picture in the box.

    Now we must add the title directly into the html of the article, and it is quite penalizing …

    A small correction, please: forgive us this possiblilté.

    Edited: It was wrong of me to say the ‘title’ attribute serves no purpose in an image element, but I understand it was because this attribute causes more problems for people with assistive technologies than good.

    You can add any attribute you want back in with JavaScript, as you say it’s used in plugins therefore it should be incorporated in plugins.

    That sounds like a theme-specific limitation.

    Yes and thank you for your quick answer.

    I agree when you say “it’s used in plugins therefore it should be incorporated in plugins”… But i am just a poor user, not an writer of plugin.

    You say also :”You can add any attribute you want back in with JavaScript”

    Have you a javascript script to suggest?

    Thank you again.

    In that case you’re using a plugin for the lightbox? And so it should be the lightbox plugin’s author who’ll be adding these title attributes back in. The version of WordPress that removed the title attributes was out for quite some time in Beta, allowing plugin authors a lot of time to test whether their plugins stopped working. A maintained plugin would not break because of this WordPress update.

    Have you a javascript script to suggest?

    Edited: I’m redacting that plugin recommendation because it seems it doesn’t work (from the reviews)
    Ahah! Try this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/restore-image-title/

    Alas, he plug-in “restore-image-title” doesn’t work an you are right : i just wait the author of my plug-in.
    En attendant, je vais donc écrire le title into the html of the article.

    Thank you, thank you.

    I mark this topic as resolved.
