Hello,
I have disabled all theme generated images from theme panel as I do not want them to fill my server disk. I use “block 7” on my homepage, and thus the theme uses “td_100x70.png” in the Newspaper/images/thumb-disabled. I resplaced this image with an icon that goes well with my website.
The problem is that there isn’t the alt tag for those 100×70 images. The images are linked to posts and there also should be the post title as the alt tag of the image. Could you please fix this issue in the next update and tell me how edit the theme until you update the theme?

Hi,
I have added this on our list and we will fix it in a future update. You can add alt tag manually for placeholder thumbs – http://screencast.com/t/IatTnkQ5OP
Just create a variable: $test_title= get_the_title($this->post->ID); and use it for alt tag – 'alt="' . $test_title . '" ';
Thanks!
Could you please tell me how to do it step by step?
By the way, the footer logo has no alt tag, either. Please, fix this as well in the next update.
Hi,
Seems that the screenshot doesn’t work, sorry! Check this screenshot – http://screencast.com/t/CKxb3CorT and add the above code, it should work fine.
Also the second issue is on our todo list, you can check this topic to add it – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/alt-text-on-footer-logo-missing/
Thanks!
I have updated to the version 6.5, but there are still images without alt tag and also these images do not have width-height values, either. Please, check the problem.
Hi,
As you can see on our update log we have added the alt tag for these images – http://screencast.com/t/nvsPcv2l but the alt tag is empty because is not recommended by seo to have a different alt for the same image. You can modify it if you want different thing like above.
Regarding the width and height the thumbnails should have a specific size – http://screencast.com/t/yL7X7DVa9
The footer logo was not added, you have right, seems that the developers missed that. I have tagged it for urgent fix on our list.
Thanks!
You say “the alt tag is empty because is not recommended by seo to have a different alt for the same image”. So, why didn’t you fix the issue by giving the same alt tag for the same image? By doing this, there won’t be any problem. If you check my website in my profile, you will see that I use a default image instead of post thumbs and another default image for the related post.
Hi,
Do you suggest to add a default alt tag, something like alt="no-thumb" ? Or do you have a better idea? We will consider it.
Regarding the width and height, I have tested this on my side again and did not found any issues like I said above – http://screencast.com/t/yL7X7DVa9
Where did you changed the image? In the no-thumbs folder? Or you have change it also in the thumbs-disabled folder?
Thanks!
Yes, I suggest to add a default alt tag just as you said alt=”no-thumb” or something like alt=”website’s main keyword” if it will good in terms of SEO.
Regarding the width and height, I have changed the image in both no-thumbs and thumbs-disabled folders.
Thank you so much for your interest.
Hi,
Ok, I have added this again on our list to be modified.
Regarding the width and height, I have checked this on my side. It should work for no thumbs images, just make sure that the thumbs are enabled from Theme Panel > Block Settings – http://screencast.com/t/lWUDYWOO4R – http://screencast.com/t/M9gbrHtkR
Thanks!
You tell me to enable the thumbs from the theme panel, but the problem is that I have disabled thumbs from theme panel as I want a default image to be appeared for the all posts and do not want the theme to create images in different sizes for all images uploaded to my server. That is why I need to use a default image and replaced it in both no-thumbs and thumbs-disabled folders.
Hi,
On the current system if you disable the thumbs from Theme Panel the replacement doesn’t know what height and width to use. I’ve added this on our list, we will modify it. Until then try this fix – http://screencast.com/t/79Yff3Xn – http://pastebin.com/wivz8znW
Thank you!
Hello,
Months ago, I started this topics about a problem. You told me that you had added this issue in your to do list and would fix this issue in coming updates. Yesterday, I have updated theme to the last version, however the problem still exists.
There are no alt tags for theme images in “Newspaper/images/no-thumb/td_100x70.png” and “Newspaper/images/no-thumb/td_100x70.png” folders.
Please, fix this issue any more as soon as possible.
Hi,
Unfortunately this fix did not make it in this update as it was only a dot revision for immediate problems that needed attention. We will add this fix in a future version but we cannot promise it will be the next immediate update. The developer team will make the final decision. Until such time, please use the solution provided by Emil.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
