NextGEN Gallery – Remove Title From Image Browser?

So far the only solution I’ve found VinnySem is to go into the admin panel under the gallery and then just manually tab through and delete the titles for each picture. There is a title field and a description field in there.

What I’m finding out is that the plugin is automatically generating the image titles and inputting that into the title field (based on filename) so that it will display. I’m sure for most people that is quite handy, but so far I haven’t figured out a way to disable that feature so you don’t have to manually delete the titles each time you post a new gallery.

Probably have to dig into the code.

I figured it out!

Ok here is what is happening. When you upload an image to NextGEN Gallery, it automatically imports the title of the jpg to a field in the admin panel called “Title.”

This field is displayed over the image when using the image browser feature.

Now the workaround I was using was to go back through and manually delete all of the titles out of those fields in the NextGEN Gallery admin panel through wp, but that was tedious and time consuming.

However, there is a quick an easy way to just tell the plugin not to display whatever is in the title field. It actually thinks the title and description in the admin panel are “alttext.”

Go into Plugins > Editor > Select NextGEN Gallery in drop down menu > edit imagebrowser.php in the admin panel.

Look for this line of code:

<h3><?php echo $image->alttext ?></h3>

Comment that out or delete it.

Done.
