I’ve been looking into some SEO issues with a site I’ve built with Savia and I’ve noticed that the alt text for featured images in portfolio and posts is blank.

Looking at the templates it looks like this may be by design.

Can you please let me know how to go about getting alt text to display with the images? I dont’ know how I overlooked this when I was selecting a theme but this is quite a big deal for me. I’ve recently paid someone to populate at text for images in the media library.

Can you please advise?

Thanks,
Paul

This would be rather easy to add really.
For example in your single-portfolio.php where you have:

<img src="<?php echo $attachment_image[0]; ?>" alt=" "/>

You can add this:

<img src="<?php echo $attachment_image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_post_meta(get_post_thumbnail_id(), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);?>"/>

Let me know if you need more help.

That’s great, works a treat. thank you very much.

Regards,

Paul.
