interesting! Ok, well thanks for responding anyway. I am trying too with the developer, and also trying on my own. If I figure it out, I will post the solution here to hopefully help some one else out ?? Here is a link to something that I found that seems like it should work (but currently not for me), just in case there is someone out there needing the same help…

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/39501/alt-attributes-not-showing-on-pages

Yes, but when I do fill them in the tags still come up empty. I tried for a few and unfortunately it did not work. I did some research with the theme developer, and it said that the alt tags dont show up on those main “gallery” pages. Soooo, long story found this stuff about using the custom field, calling the field with the scriipt….hoping to make that work.

thanks again

Ah, well when I look at the source, for each of the thumbnails the alt tag comes up empty:

<div class=”imgHentry” style=”width:232px; height:132px; margin-top:7px”>

<img src=”https://christinecraven.com/wp-content/themes/delight/scripts/timthumb.php?src=https://christinecraven.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nicolelook.jpg&h=130&w=230&#8243; alt=””>
<div class=”linkIcon” style=”width:232px; height:132px;”>

Under “src” etc, the alt at the end is empty. alt=””

I hope it makes sense ??

1. accessibility for people using screen readers
2. search engine optimization

thanks!

It WORKED! Thank you soooo much. ??
