Posted in: Newsmag

Hello,

I have an issue with the alt tags on my site.

All the image in the media library contains ALT Tags.

However in my post on the image semrush mention around 500 images are missing alt tags.

It seems there is no link between image library and the actual alt tag on the image.

On main issue with this is it’s impossible time wise to go over 600 articles and add manually alt tag in each of them.

I use a plugin that allow alt tags edit directly from the media page home.

Can you pls kindly help to fix this

Hello bariton,

Let’s clarify this problem with Alt Tags for your images. I have inspected your website, and I saw that you have the alt tags for your images on posts, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/NEuFYo6FKG and also, for the home page, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/yDK7936ws7Q Please keep in mind that the theme processes the images which you have added on modules. Regarding on post images, when you load them in WordPress you should insert the Alt tag manually. Otherwise, if you want to add them, you should do it manually for each image. Another alternative for you would be to find some PHP scripts which automatically adds some alt tag for your images by the title of post or you can check this topic like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/all-images-alt-tags-missing/

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your understanding!

Hello Catalin,

Sorry i am very lost on this.

I do not understand.

Look 100% of my image have alt. http://imgur.com/a/FWIar
I spent a couple of hours filling in alt tag manually from the media page.

Then i just want this alt tag to be displayed on my image in post / pages or wherever this image is on the theme.

I am not looking for them to be added automatically just for the alt being on media to display properly in posts.

ex on this page : http://imgur.com/a/0QP96 The image has no alt tag.
However, in media library, it has one. http://imgur.com/a/JcKvA

Thanks for your answer.

Hello bariton,

My colleague Alin replied you via email regarding on this problem a few days ago. You are using a plugin for Alternative text and that’s why you have encountered this issue.

Thanks.

Hello,

I dont understand what is the issue as the plugin is working well !

alt tags are well filled inside the “meta” description in media. even if i disable the plugin…

this is probably not the issue.

Hello,

The issue is the plugin is not tested with our theme and could provide mixed results. You mention the alt tags are missing. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Then test the alt tags with our theme and see if they show up properly.

Thank you!
