How do I change title/caption of displayed image?
-
When I go to the media library on Dashboard and edit an image I see from top to bottom – Title, Alternate Text, Caption, and Description. I have changed the text in every one of those and then hit “Update Media” to save the edited image. However, when I go to the site I find that the new text does not show up on the image. What am I doing wrong?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The caption and the title are saved with the image in the content of each post at the time the post was saved/published.
You will have to edit each post, click on the image to highlight it, change the caption and the title, click the save button and then click the update post button.

Thank you for the help. I tried what you said and it still doesn’t work. I notice that clicking the save button doesn’t seem to initiate any action with the host site. The update media does initiate an action. Somehow the changes in the media library to the image’s caption and title are not getting published on the site itself. Is there perhaps another image file containing an original duplicate copy of the image? If so, I’m changing the source image but the change is not being transferred to the site file that has this image in it. Where do I find that site file and get it to update?

Before we go any further, I think it would be best if we had the URL of your blog, starting with http:// please. Thanks.
