Same ALT text

    Hello,

    I disabled “Enable default title” to show an custom caption with ALT text for a series of images.

    But, it seems that if are a number of images of the same page with the same ALT text, the plug in switches back to the file name on the second image, instead of repeating the caption I have chosen.

    Huhh… Is it such a bad practice to have the same ALT text for a series of images ?

    I felt that it would be simple and elegant to have the Post title as a caption, and then “Item %current% of %total%” next to it.

    Any solution to this?

    Thank you
    Nicolas

    Ah! I should have looked more thouroughly – sorry.

    I seems that it works sometimes, and other times not.

    Maybe something in some file names that makes it fail to pick the ALT text instead?

    Is there a documentation for the “Enable default title” disabling somewhere ? Sorry if there is one, I couldn’t find it…

    Best – sorry again for not checking enough before writing.

    Hi, disabling the default title should stop the display of WordPress’ auto-generated title for all uploaded media. If you are not seeing this, please provide a link to a page that exhibits the issue you are experiencing and I would be glad to take a closer look.

    Also note that SLB primarily acts upon links, which may or may not contain images. As such, while an image’s alt attribute is one of the values used as a fallback for the lightbox’s title, a link’s own attribute’s will have higher priority.

    See SLB’s documentation on title precedence for full details how the lightbox’s title is determined for a link.

    Hello,

    Thank you very much for the message and the link.

    I solved the issue using the title attribute.

    Now I understand how it works.

    Best regards,
