WordPress › Support » Remove title= attribute from the_post

If I do a call for a thumbnail:

<?the_post_thumbnail();?>

It brings back something like this:

<img width="125" height="80" src="image.jpg" class="attachment wp-post-image" alt="Hello World!" title="Hello World!" />

Where can I find the code so it does not output the title= aspect of the image call? I'm using a tooltip on the images and would prefer that title doesn't interfere with it.

It is better to add a filter, not changing the core WordPress code. WordPress is very flexible, so that you can filter almost anything, including the post_thumbnail.

Put the filter code in functions.php of your theme file. The filter name is post_thumbnail_html.

add_filter('post_thumbnail_html', 'thumbnail_filter', 99, 5);

function thumbail_filter($html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr) {
   // you can alter the resulted HTML here
   $html = // remove title from $html
   return $html;
}

or you can implement the wp_get_attachment_image_attributes filter, and unset the title attribute. But this method, will eliminate title attribute in all images (not just thumbnail).

Hi guys. I'm having a similar issue.. I'd like to get rid of the size attributes, so I can control the sizes with CSS instead. Suhanto, I assume what you posted is a part of it, but I can't really figure out the rest.

Any hints are appreciated!

Suhato - thanks for the tips, still a bit over my head though. I'd still like to know where the actual code is that outputs the HTML that way I can copy it in your above code in the $html variable...and then modify to fit my needs. Hope that makes sense?
