  • To tedious to do after every single image, better way would be to edit your functions.php file and add:

    <code>define(‘CAPTIONS_OFF’, true);</code>

  • Actually, if you don’t specify the caption while you are adding the image, it won’t show the caption.. no need to do those manual things..

  • Hi Michael. If you don’t specify the caption, WordPress won’t add an ALT tag and then your code will be rendered invalid. Seems kinda dumb for WordPress to do that.
