WordPress 3.5 introduced a new feature – when images are inserted into posts, the title attribute is not included in the image tag. This was done with the best of intentions relating to accessibility, as documented on <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18984" rel="nofollow ugc">Trac</a>
Unfortunately, this causes problems for some Lightbox plugins, quite apart from stopping image tooltips from appearing.
This plugin hooks into the media_send_to_editor filter and inserts the image title into the html inserted into the post.
The original author, LesBessant, sadly passed away and in the meantime the original plugin was closed. I plan to keep the plugin up to date whenever an update breaks it.

Format Media Titles WordPress plugin allows you to format titles for newly uploaded media items. It can be pretty tedious to have to manually edit the title for newly uploaded media items. This Plugin automates things by removing and replacing characters from the title such as hyphens, and underscores, with spaces. The title can then be capitalized by a method of your choice:
<ul>
<li>First letter of each word capitalized.</li>
<li>First letter of first word capitalized only.</li>
<li>All letters made uppercase.</li>
<li>All letter made lower case.</li>
<li>No capitalization. Title remains unchanged.</li>
</ul>
You will especially benefit from this Plugin if your media files have descriptive names, as you won’t have to manually edit them at all after uploading them!
As well as formatting the title for newly uploaded media items, you can also optionally copy the formatted title to the ALT, and description fields too, via plugin settings.
Please <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/format-media-titles" rel="ugc">rate</a> this Plugin if you find it useful. It only takes a moment but it’s very much appreciated. 🙂

Format Media Titles

I had been meaning to search for a plugin like this for a while. I was glad to find that it exists while preparing an article with dozens of images. It definitely saved me some time re-typing the title in a pretty way. The option to copy to ALT is handy too.

Thanks for this, David.

Time-saver

Automatically formats the title (and optionally the ALT field) for new media uploads. No need to manually edit the title anymore every time you upload …
