Lightbox showing alt not title

Hey jollyrogerd!

in WordPress the alt text is always showing in gallery lightbox. If you don’t want that, you need to deactivate the alt text or the title should be the same as the alt text.

Cheers!

Hi!

Can you post a link to your gallery page please?

Hi,

Try adding this at the very end of your theme functions.php file:

function add_custom_script(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
	 jQuery('.avia-gallery a img').each(function(){
              jQuery(this).attr('alt', jQuery(this).data('avia-tooltip'));
         });
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_script');

Hi!

That won’t be affected, this change is only made on the client side, if you go to the source (this is what bots read) you’ll still see the alt tag showing the alt text – http://screencast.com/t/8V6jozrdKN

Hi Danica,

That’s correct, you are seeing the source via Firebug, after the JavaScript mod has run, try checking it here – http://i.imgur.com/trsKJpI.png
