 * Hello!
 * WordPress by default doesn’t add the title tag from media library, however, it
   does the alt tag.
 * I now have over 1000 images which don’t have a title tag and is there an easy
   and quick way to automatically add the title tag from the media library, or just
   copy the alt tag?
 * Thanks!

 * Are you referring to the fields you see in the Media Library, or what is output
   in the content of a post with an image?

 * Hello Joy!
 * I’m referring to the content of a post with an image. I can’t see a title in 
   source code.

 * WordPress _does_ output the `title` attribute and the `alt` attribute, if there
   is something entered in the Media Library. You might have a plugin or theme that
   is interfering with that getting into the content.
 * Or you might be asking what to do about images that are already in the content
   and didn’t have the `title` field when they were put into the content.
    You could
   have a PHP filter for `the_content` that adds the `title` attribute as the page
   is being generated. You could have a Javascript function that adds the `title`
   attribute once the page is loaded into the browser. You could run some sort of
   plugin that manipulates your content in the database to add the `title` attribute
   in your posts.
