Empty Alt attribute when using insert from url

  • I’m having a problem I’ve never dealt with before. I use a few sites for affiliate linking, and I’ve used them regularly over the last few months with no problems. Now all of a sudden I’m getting tons of “empty alt attribute” errors when I try to insert images using the image url. Some images insert fine, and then after a page refresh they change to the error message.

    The only thing I have changed about my site in the last week is the theme.

  • Hello @amyolsen12,

    Have you tried switching themes, such as to one of the default Twenty* themes, to see if the errors still appear?

    Thanks for your response!
    I am so confused. I just went to try that. I happened to have left my post open on my browser when I went to bed last night, and I refreshed the page so I could save it one last time before I switched the theme.
    And the images seem to be magically fixed. What?
    Now I have no idea if the theme is the problem or if this will happen more permanently in the future.

    You’re welcome! You can always post here on the forum if you have this issue again.
