Hello. Why all images in this theme don’t have alt tag ? It is very important for SEO. How can I implement alt tag to all images ?

Do you mean alt tags or title tags?

WordPress doesn’t use the title tags unless you modify how WordPress functions. Their philosophy is that garbled version of filename would not be good title and therefore useless for most people who don’t actually put anything in the title tag box.

For alt tags you need to put something in the alt tag box for each image when you upload it.

Is there an example page where you see this issue?

My site has the alt tags.

Hi,

Thanks Chris!

@blithe

The theme add’s the alt tag on all images/thumbs, you can see it here: http://screencast.com/t/luTgiawrktqh
Check if you have an alternative text for you images, like this: http://screencast.com/t/T5ka32PW ..then use your browser’s inspect toll to inspect the image, you can notice the alt tag like this: http://screencast.com/t/d2eoOAFFJJm

Hello again, thanks for replys. I am using SEO Friendly Images plugin that auto add alt tags to all images. I realized, this plugin does not work with this theme so all of my images’ alt tag missing. Because of that I have to add all alt tags manually. Is there a way add bulk alt tags to all my images (It can be same with post title ?

Hi,

You can’t really “bulk edit” different images with different title/alt tags, unless you want them to be all the same thing, which isn’t very good.
You can give the title as alt using $this->title like this: http://screencast.com/t/qiBSwWjLC7

Hi,

You’d need a hook or an action to do that. Try to find one online or adjust another for this. I suggest you get someone to help you with this if you don’t know how to do it as we cannot provide any custom work. Sorry!
You can find more details in below articles:
