Alt Tags, Image Titles Etc

  • I have seen a few posts about trying to get alt tags, titles for images to stick in Elementor and I have to say I am actually shocked they do not have an answer to the multiple threads or even concern. I have posted images through wordpress media files with all of the information present and still I have no hover (alt text) or titles for my images. I have tried to the media file option using your image editor and gone to the wordpress page myself to edit these and nothing is sticking. Using several third party options to review image information I also find no alt tags, title, etc.

    Since switching to Elementor we went from #1 in serps to #3. We have gone back up to #2 in several terms but can not enjoy our first rank again due to our images not being indexed properly and no alt tags and titles for images.

    Is there no answer to why you do not allow your users to add unique content inside of your image editor? Are we forced to use the text editor which simulates/connects to some of wordpresses core editing features as a work around to give us control over some functionality to insert alt tags, title and other information about images? Is this not completely a time waste for your users as well as not allowing them to use features for media files in your plug in?

    You draw people towards your plug in with SEO references in several of your articles yet you are missing very basic functions anyone would need to keep using your product.

    Bumping this thread as this is a major issue and no response from the designer. Am I wrong? Are you creating an inferior product by not allowing you to edit alt and title tags for images a major SEO need?

    Hi there Anthony.
    Have you resolved your issue? I have been slowly learning about WordPress since Jan 1st and left off the Alt Text for all my images until after I had completed my site and then an SEO expert pulled me up for it. Anyhow I searched for how to add it after uploading the images from the library and couldn’t find an answer and saw your comment and that no one had responded to you.

    I’m not sure if I have understood your issue correctly. For me I originally started to go to each image in Elementor and before reinserting the image from the library added the alt text for it and then reinserted. I then checked it in incognito Chrome browser and right clicked on it and could see that the alt text had been added. It does not appear as you roll mouse over it though, but I don’t think Chrome supports that.

    Later as I went on I found that merely adding Alt Text to images in the library without even reinserting the image seemed to work too.

    Not sure if this helps your situation and not 100% sure I’m right, but perhaps someone else will respond if I am wrong.
