Image SEO not working

Hello @jamiek47,

Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Can you please tell us where are you adding those images and the URL where the issue is happening?

Looking forward to helping you.

I am adding them via the WordPress image uploader.

After looking at the images meta, I can see WordPress is taking the meta description from the image and setting that instead of using Rank Math settings.

Hello @jamiek47

Thank you for further information.

Rank Math does not override default ALT or Title tags added by someone.

It only adds them on the images where those values are missing.

Here’s a screencast:

You can read all about that here:

Hope that clears the confusion.

I have not entered any alt or title tag information?

Hello @jamiek47

Can you please record a video screencast using a service like Loom and send it across so we can see the settings you have set in the backend?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Sure, but a video screencast of what?

The Rank Math image SEO settings and an example image meta data?

Hello @jamiek47,

Please access this image from media library:

Show the ALT and the Title tags and then the settings of the Rank Math plugin for the images.

Then open the article where you have used it and check the page’s source (via inspector) and confirm if the tags are not printing as expected.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
