In the Wordpress Dashboard, after inserting the alt text, while you are in visual mode writing your post, just delete the caption text near the image. The alt will remain and the caption field will be erased. Or you can delete from the html of the article caption=”text”.

Note that search engines appreciate your alt text more if there is a caption attached to your image – because the caption can also be seen on the page by users , unlike the alt text.

If you don’t want to do this move every time you insert an image into a post, check out these resources: Wordpress Support and Katzwebdesign – maybe there you can find your answer.

I have a question on images that has been bugging me for some time now. In Wordpress there is a field for title and also a field for caption (also used as alt text).

However the way Wordpress has it set up, when you add alt text, this also serves as a caption for the image. Which i don’t want.

So how do i add (alt text) to images in Wordpress without including a caption on the image?
