Alt text missing on module thumbnails

Posted in: Newsmag

Hi,

When I check the source code of my homepage, I see that alt sections of images are all missing. All I see is alt=””.

Is it possible to use post title as alt tags? Can we do this via editing some source code of the theme?

Regards,

Sabri

Hello teknolojisk,

Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand about what kind of alt text do you are referring to? Notice that each image from our thumbnail has the proper alt text with post title implemented, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/wiiFnD744ioX
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.

Thanks for your understanding!

You are right. That’s exactly what is seen on Google Chrome’s developer tools.

But, when I look at the source code in text format, and also fetch with Google Search Console, I see code implementation as below:

<a
1168
href="https://www.teknoblog.com/youtube-yeni-logo-tasarim-154325/" rel="bookmark" title="YouTube yeni logo ve tasarım ile kullanıcılarının karşısında" data-wpel-link="internal"><img
1169
width="537" height="360" class="entry-thumb" src="https://static2.teknoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/youtube-koyu-tema-yeni-tasarim-300817-537x360.jpg" srcset="https://static2.teknoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/youtube-koyu-tema-yeni-tasarim-300817-537x360.jpg 537w, https://static2.teknoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/youtube-koyu-tema-yeni-tasarim-300817.jpg 1074w" sizes="(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) 1074px, (min-resolution: 192dpi) 1074px, 537px" alt="" title="YouTube yeni logo ve tasarım ile kullanıcılarının karşısında"/></div>

As you see alt=”” part is empty. That’s why crawlers see images without alt texts.

By the way, the web site is http://www.teknoblog.com.

Hi,

Please try to check our demo and check the results. I do not exactly understand how to check it? If you will bring the same results after checking our demo, means that is the default theme behaviour and so it must be.

Thanks.

I have looked at some examples from showcase area, and I see that some web sites have managed to add “alt” information to the thumbnails. So, there is a way to do that.
