image alt tags doesn't work / don't appear in code

[mariusjopen]

Dear @TvDalen
I can see. All your images have the alt text: "Studio Bureau | Concept-en ontwerpbureau | Creative Agency — Work"

Best is if you write me a PM and include your username, password and a link to this conversation.
Best!

Hi @mariusjopen I've send a chat message, I'm curious if you all ready had time to login and check our website?

[mariusjopen]

Dear @TvDalen
I had a look in your admin and like you said, it is not possible to change the alt tags.
I do not want to mess around with your website too much.

I will have a chat with Armin about it.

Best!

will be fixed in the next update

[arminunruh]

please update lay theme now and then it should work

[TvDalen]

@arminunruh Thank you, we have updated our website with the latest Laytheme.
If I check an image witg alt tag in Google Chrome with right mouse click on the image. I see the right alt tag. https://ibb.co/Qbyzfhf

But if i just check the HMTL source on the page, I still see the wrong/ page title alt tags.

So I'm not sure if Google sees the alt tag right now?

[arminunruh]

i need a link to a page where an image has an alt tag that is set by you and then also please send a screenshot of the exact image that you'll want me to look at

[arminunruh]

oh i see it is here:
https://studiobureau.nl/newspaper-infographics-trouw

and its this pic

so when an image does not have any alt tag, it will just revert to the usual alt tag that lay theme sets which is the site title.

so maybe what you're seeing in your page source code is just a different image that has no alt tag.

also if you set an alt tag for an image in the media library, you'll still need to re-insert that image into the grid for the alt tag to update, sorry about that :O
