In an article, only when I hover over the main picture of that article, a alt image text shows up (like a tooltip). All other images in the article are not showing up. Any idea what I must change? Description, alt text are all set in media and on the left block for images in Gutenberg.

Hi,
Alt text is primarily for accessibility (screen readers for visually impaired users) and SEO. It’s not meant to be a tooltip (that image likely has a title attribute set. Browsers show the title as a tooltip on hover, not the alt text).
=> alt – for screen readers (not hover)
=> title – shows tooltip on hover
If you want all images to show hover text, set the title attribute for each image.
Thank you!
