    I need help adding an image to my event descriptions. When I save the description

    John McCutcheon </br> </br> <img src="wp-content/uploads/signed_by_linda_tilton.png" />

    It saves instead as:

    John McCutcheon </br> </br> <img src=\"wp-content/uploads/signed_by_linda_tilton.png\">

    I had found a work-around earlier when I had first created this page, but it needs updated and I can’t remember what I had done.

    Hi @smhcis,
    Please try adding HTML tags without using quotation marks e.g.

    <img src=/wp-content/uploads/signed_by_linda_tilton.png >

    Related question–when I add in alt text, the picture still shows, but only the first word of the alt text is available.

    For example:
    <img src=/wp-content/uploads/signed_by_linda_tilton.png alt=Signed by Linda Tilton>

    When I check this image with the WAVE web accessibility tool it only sees the word “Signed”. Same when I use the wA11y web accessibility toolbox.

    How can I get the full alt text to become available to voice readers?

    Hi @smhcis,
    You may try to add alt via your WordPress media library or use under score or hyphens to keep the phrase as a single attribute like Signed_by_Linda_Tilton or Signed-by-Linda-Tilton

    I have tried adding the alt text via the media library and it did not carry over into my events. I can get all the words to show up using hyphens to link the words together, but will that affect a screen reader’s ability to read the alt text?

    Hi @smhcis,
    Thank you for your question however we have not tested it with screen readers yet.
