Attachment title controls in Elementor

Content sets the file source, the file, the file name fallback, the link and new tab, text before and after, the empty text, the HTML tag and an icon. The Style tab covers typography, colours, surface, border, alignment, padding, radius, the link hover colour and the icon.

03 / Website use cases

Where to use attachment title

Download lists, galleries and media templates need a file's name shown and often linked, and typed names drift from the Media Library. Attachment title shows the saved title (or the file name), links it to the file or its page when you want, and skips files that belong to drafts or private posts.

Attachment title compatibility with Elementor

WordPress 6.5+PHP 8.0+Elementor 3.25+
  • Requires Elementor; works without WooCommerce.

08 / Common setup problems

Troubleshoot attachment title

Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.

Why is a file name shown?

The title is empty. Add a title in the Media Library, or switch off the fallback.

Why does the attachment page link open the file?

WordPress attachment pages are switched off on this site, so their address opens the file.

Why is nothing shown?

The file belongs to a draft or private post, or no file is chosen; the editor shows a hint.

Can it use the featured image?

Yes. Choose The current post's featured image.

09 / Frequently asked questions

Attachment title plugin questions

Does it need Elementor Pro?

Can it reveal private files?

No. Files attached to drafts, private or password-protected posts are never shown on the live site.

Does it work with PDFs?

Yes. Any Media Library file has a title.

Is it accessible?

Yes. Links are real links, and new tabs are announced to screen readers.
