    I DONE:
    -I set up all like media>pictures: title, caption alt text description etc. all with the same text.

    -I turn off all plugins. I try use plugins like SEO Friendly Images. Nothing happend. I

    -try to find in wp catalog [gallery ids=” I found in
    class.wpcom-json-api-update-post-v1-1-endpoint.php
    class.wpcom-json-api-update-post-v1-2-endpoint.php
    comics.php
    admin.js
    I try to change it a little and nothing happend.

    At my site in My site https://www.ideo-klocki.pl/educational-model-of-garbage-incinerator-lego/ In source I got text like this

    <li style="width: 940px; margin-right: 0px; float: left; display: block;" class="flex-active-slide" data-thumb-alt=""><figure><img src="https://www.ideo-klocki.pl/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/1.jpg" alt="1.jpg" /></figure></li>

    Yeah, that’s definitely not good.

    The alt tag is for screenreaders to read out to a visitor with impaired vision what the image is. In the example you have pasted, “1.jpg” is a terrible alt tag, it’s of no use to any human.

    A better alt tag would be “lego display”.

    Now, back to the problem. ??

    What plugin are you using to generate that slider, or is it built into your theme (and if so, what is the name of the theme)?

    Thanks a lot for answear ??

    I use Swatch theme with flexslider and You are genius ??
    I found it ?? a file is \wp-content\themes\swatch\inc\frontend.php
    it was:
    alt=”‘. basename ( get_attached_file($post->ID) ).'”

    I change it to:
    alt=”‘. $post->post_content.'”

    And its working.

    Thanks ??
