I’ve tried adding this to style.css but it didn’t work..

.wp-caption .wp-caption-text:hover{
    display:none !important;
}

Hi,

I believe that cannot be achieved through Css. The only way would be to manually remove the title from each image in the media library. You can find more information in these topics about using code to remove the title attribute

The trouble is that images with an ALT tag are much better for SEO.

Hi,

Then it would be better to leave them as they are and not make any modifications at all, to benefit from that advantage. It would probably be too complicated to make modifications in the theme, or by other means to hide them on hover.

Thanks
