Thank you for ignoring my entire message and replying to just one part toward the end. I guess that’s the only part for which the developers have a reasonable answer.

Oh, and also, thank you developers for filling the entire screen with the media manager so that people like me who need to see the post title in the background for reference while “Titling” and “Alting” our images, have to now struggle while doing so.

I can’t wait for someone to make a plugin that will bring the old media uploader back!

Adios!

I have always been polite when I post on these support forums, but I don’t even feel like being polite to people who hate certain features so intensely even though there might be thousands of people who want that feature. So here’s my reply to all those who feel like tooltips are a disgrace and that the new media manager is actually an improvement.

First of all, I read the ticket on the link esmi provided – https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/18984

What I find most striking in the ticket conversations is the apparent personal hatred toward the usage of tooltips.

“How often have you moused over an image on a WordPress site and saw “IMG_1234″? One of the lamest things ever. Never again.”

To the guy “nacin” in the ticket who made this “Never again” comment, hats off to your personal hatred towards an issue that affects thousands of people! You have now screwed everyone who wants to use tooltips because YOU don’t like it and think it’s lame. How about giving a choice for those who use tooltips responsibly? Like a checkbox that says “Use the title of this image as the tooltip” or something like that in the media settings.

“Tooltips can still be added by opening the Edit Image modal and inserting something into the title attribute box.”

So people using WordPress for websites with lots of images (basically an image-heavy website) who would like to have their image titles as the tooltip for the pictures will now have to do it manually for each and every picture. Thanks for thinking that WordPress is only used by people who upload one or two pictures a day!

I upload over 150 pictures everyday. I’d like you to try to manually add the tooltip to each of those pictures everyday.

From what I’ve read about how the Google crawler works, it reads through the “alt” of an image for its search indexing. Umm, hey guys, here’s an idea that I personally hate: WordPress does not automatically populate the “Alt” field of images that are uploaded. How about fixing that? How about having an option in the media settings that says “Copy image Title field into Alt field?” For those of us who don’t just add a picture named “IMG_1234” to our websites, but rather go through a lot of effort to name pictures properly, this would be a great help!

Thanks for changing the whole media upload process and forcing it down our throats, but no thanks. I don’t like it. I love WordPress and I do not wish to bite the hand that feeds me, but this last update has left me feeling a little disappointed.

Take care!

Adios!

Hey I solved this by following your directions in the FAQ of changing “laquo” to “raquo” and vice versa.

Issue resolved.

Thanks for the great plugin!

Hi David,

This is what happened when I put that line of code in functions.php to reverse the direction of navigation –

The direction of navigation did get reversed, but the arrows are pointing in the wrong direction. The arrows are pointing inwards when they should be pointing outwards.

Here’s my site: https://whatadumass.com

Please help!

Thanks!

I think I’ll leave the recommend button as is for a couple of days to see if Facebook takes time to crawl the pages and rectify it. If not, I’ll write a bug report to them.

Thanks pal! Keep up the good work!

Adios

Ah!

OK I have two questions.

First, is your plugin coded to work only for the like buttons or for the recommend buttons as well?

Second, do you have any idea how I can contact Facebook about this? They just don’t seem to have an efficient “Contact us” or support section where one can write to them or chat with them!

Thanks again!
