[Twenty Eleven] Any Way to Get Titles to Show in Header Pix?

You would need to start by creating a child theme and then creating a modified header.php template file in your new child theme.

Thanks, esmi. I already have a child theme for other changes I’ve made. Looking at header.php, it seems this is the line that displays the header graphics:
<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo $header_image_width; ?>" height="<?php echo $header_image_height; ?>" alt="" />

But I confess I still don’t know how to accomplish my goal.

What text were you hoping to show as the title/alt text bearing in mind that the latter is intended to be used when the image isn’t available or viewable?

I have a set of scenery photos, and I would like to display the names of the locations.

This would be possible if you’re using the featured image functionality to create a custom header image per page but not if you’re just uploading images via Appearance -> Header.

OK, thanks. I think I’ll throw in the towel on that one. If it becomes essential to have a label, I’ll just edit the graphic to have the label.
