Alt attributes images

  • Hi guys.

    I’m ashamed to ask this, I supposed had a higher level on WordPress….:(

    Well, I fill out all my Alt attributes images into the WordPress media section and when I audit the website and my surprise is none of them has the label, even into the code there are not any alt label

    Try deactivating all of your plugins to explore whether any could be responsible. If none are, keep all plugins deactivated and switch to the Twenty Seventeen theme to check whether it’s an issue with your theme.

    When you insert an image into a post, it creates an HTML <img> tag for the image with the alt tag as set when the image was inserted. If you later go back to the media library and edit an image and add alt text it won’t be added to images already inserted into posts. You’ll need to go back into those posts and edit them to add the alt text to that particular instance of the image.

    For images that you didn’t insert, and that are dynamically added to the page by a plugin or your theme, it is the responsibility of the theme/plugin developer to ensure that the alt attribute is added. If the theme/plugin isn’t doing this then you should take it up with the author. WordPress provides several functions for outputting images that makes this easy, so there’s no excuse for themes/plugins no doing this.

    Looking at your site it looks like the alt text is appearing on the front page and your shop pages, but not in blog posts like this one. For those you’ll need to go in and add them manually.
