I discovered this recently too. You can manually add in the title. Click the “Edit image” button to get to the editing screen. http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_Pages#Step_5_.E2.80.93_Inserting_the_image
Since 3.5 it seems that WP is deprecating use of the Title attribute because of confusion or misuse between Title and Alt, especially as regards accessibility for non-sighted users, screen readers, or text-only displays. http://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/18984
Arne, perhaps jQuery Colorbox could use the Alt attribute instead of Title to display image titles?
Hi,
I can use the “alt” attribute of the <img> tag as a fallback for the <title> attribute.
But if the value entered as alt text is actually rendered into the “alt” attribute of the <img> tag depends entirely on your theme.
The default WordPress theme twentytwelve does this.
Cheers,
Arne
Thanks for the explanation, Arne.
