<p>When you upload media to WordPress, the title field is automatically set to a slugified version of the filename. This often results in messy, unoptimized titles like “IMG-20240115-photo-final-v2” appearing in gallery captions, alt tags, or title attributes.</p>
<p>This plugin clears the title field for newly uploaded media, ensuring that if a title is displayed anywhere, it’s one you’ve intentionally set yourself.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically clears the title field for new media uploads</li>
<li>Bulk action to clear titles on existing media library items</li>
<li>Lightweight with no settings page required</li>
<li>Developer-friendly with filters</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>The plugin hooks into WordPress’s <code>wp_insert_attachment_data</code> filter and clears the <code>post_title</code> field for new uploads before they are saved to the database.</p>
<h3>Filters</h3>
<h4>runthings_emt_skip</h4>
<p>Skip clearing the title for specific attachments.</p>
<p><strong>Parameters:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>$skip</code> (bool) – Whether to skip clearing the title. Default false.</li>
<li><code>$data</code> (array) – Attachment post data (slashed, sanitized, processed).</li>
<li><code>$postarr</code> (array) – Sanitized post data (not processed).</li>
<li><code>$unsanitized_postarr</code> (array) – Unsanitized post data.</li>
<li><code>$update</code> (bool) – Whether this is an update (always false for new uploads).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
<pre><code>// Skip clearing title for uploads by specific user
add_filter('runthings_emt_skip', function($skip, $data, $postarr) {
    if (get_current_user_id() === 1) {
        return true; // Admin keeps auto-generated titles
    }
    return $skip;
}, 10, 3);



// Skip clearing title if filename contains "keep-title"
add_filter('runthings_emt_skip', function($skip, $data, $postarr) {
    $filename = $postarr['post_title'] ?? '';
    if (strpos($filename, 'keep-title') !== false) {
        return true;
    }
    return $skip;
}, 10, 3);
</code></pre>
<h4>runthings_emt_mime_types</h4>
<p>Filter which MIME types should have their title cleared. By default, all media types are affected.</p>
<p><strong>Parameters:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>$allowed_mime_types</code> (array) – Array of MIME type patterns. Default <code>[]</code> (all types).</li>
<li><code>$attachment_mime_type</code> (string) – The attachment’s MIME type.</li>
<li><code>$postarr</code> (array) – Sanitized post data.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
<pre><code>// Restrict to images only
add_filter('runthings_emt_mime_types', function($allowed_mime_types) {
    return ['image'];
});



// Restrict to images and PDFs only
add_filter('runthings_emt_mime_types', function($allowed_mime_types) {
    return ['image', 'application/pdf'];
});
</code></pre>
