Yoast do not see image ALT attributes?

    Hello there!

    I have installed the free MetaSlider and using it on my frontpage. The slides (images) all have ALT attributes. When I check the source code of my HTML document, I can see all ALT attributes are there in the behind code.

    But my Yoast installation does not see these ALT attritbutes, which is not good, because I saw MetaSlider as a way to inject different keywords via the ALT attributes.

    I have other images with ALT attributes outside MetaSlider on same frontpage which Yoast can see, but for some reason Yoast are blind for the MetaSlider image ALT attributes?

    Anyone else with the same problem?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @webdesign123,

    Can you send a screenshot of the error messages you’re seeing? Or the page where you’re able to see that the alt attributes aren’t being included?

    Thanks

    I am sorry I can′t do that.

    I dropped the MetaSlider plugin and replaced it with a Gallery (via Elementor), which you can see now on my frontpage. It does what I want it to do, shows images in random order injecting different keywords related to the content.

    Yoast does not see these either. If you look in the behind code to my frontpage, you will see the Elementor and “gallery-1” code. In there you find all the ALT attributes. One of them is “UFO photos”…

    And if I optimize for “UFO photos” using Yoast, I get this message:

    “The images on this page do not have alt attributes containing the focus keyword.”

    But Google Fetch reads all ALT attributes, so everything seem OK

    Hi @webdesign123,

    It sounds like like a bug with WordPress SEO since it’s not working with either slideshow plugin. Might want to contact their support forum to let them know about it. But good thing it’s working with Google.

    I’ll mark this as resolved, but please open a new issue if you have any more problems. Have a good week!
