Hi Guys…
I’m trying to add image alt tags and image title tags for seo purposes. When you click on an image in the media library, i know you can change the image alt tag here, but the title shown is only the one used by wordpress and not the actual image title tag. If i insert an image into a page or post, i can click on edit image and add an image title tag in the space marked “image title attribute”, no problem, but when i add an image using the image media element, there is no option to change the image title attribute in any of the settings for the image.
So when adding an image using the image media element of the layout builder, how can i add an image title attribute to it?
Thanks in advance guys… :-)
Hey stephenturner,
you need to change it inside of your media library. However, you could work with Yoast’s SEO plugins for better results.

AndyHi, the title inside the media library is only used internally for wordpress and is not the image title attribute seen by search engines. If you add an image into a page in the text section, you can edit the image and enter an image title attribute, then if you inspect the element in a web browser, you can see it has been noted as the image title attribute “title”. When you use the image element, and enter a title, in the inspect element it is shown as “alt title”, not “title”.
To adding an image into a text element, you can click on the little pencil icon and edit the “image title attribute”, but when using the add image element, you do not have this option anywhere, all you can do is change the title in the media library section, but this is not the image title attribute used by search engines.
I have searched all the internet this morning and everyone says the same, even wordpress.org, the title element of the media library is not the image title attribute, so is it not possible to change this is you use the media image element of the page builder?
Hi,
You can edit title and alt attribute while inserting your image to your image element – http://imgur.com/a/Bfd3m and it would work totally fine.

YigitThanks, i’ve tested both ways and if you insert the image in a text module the title does not show when you hover over the image, if you use the image element it does, you can close the ticket anyway, i’m gonna have an SEO lesson and hopefully learn a little more, but thanks for your help as always… :-)
