[Plugin: Udinra All Image Sitemap] ALT attributes not included?

The alt attribute is attribute of img html tag.Google sitemap protocol supports tags like loc,caption and title.The caption includes alt text.You can verify the same by uploading an image with alt text and then see the sitemap.

As you can see there is no alt tag in the image sitemap… all my images have alt text though.

OK.I got your question.When you upload image using wordpress upload you can specify

1.Title
2.alternate text
3.caption
4.description

WordPress does not store alternate text in table.Rest of the attributes are stored in table.

Now while creating the sitemap Caption and Title are used (google sitemap protocol also does not have alternate text).For details please see

Google Image Sitemap protocol

Hope this helps.Please ignore my earlier comment as I misunderstood your point.

Thanks for that, understood

WordPress stores the title tag and the alt tag, and the caption is proprietary, being <p class="wp-caption-text">
