Alt codes

Hi @peterdewith!

The alt tag giving options are only available in the pro version. But if you have that, you can only see them, if you turn on the expert mode:

and it will be next to every image option, so like at the Background image:
https://doc.smartslider3.com/article/1295-slide-settings-background#image-tab
or at the Image layer:

You had build it also in the free version but its gone

It give errors in w3.org so have to look to someting else

Hi @peterdewith

I just installed the free version from this site to a new WordPress installation and the alt tags are there for both the image layer and the slide background.
Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/Jpmnw

Do you possibly use an older version?

I have found it but its not comming from there

This is the code w3.org with problems (www.creatiefidee.nl)

It is coming from the play icon of your videos: https://imgur.com/a/NDMAQ
and I believe this usage fits for the “certain conditions” exception w3’s validator mentions.

Since your cover image already has a play icon, you could just turn off the Play button at the YouTube layer: https://doc.smartslider3.com/article/198-youtube-layer
and we won’t put another image on top of it, so you won’t have this problem.

Thats work half. On the first pic i cant turn off the play button (when i do that it turn his on self)

Please open up this file:
wp-content\plugins\smart-slider-3\library\smartslider\plugins\item\youtube\youtube.php
and on line 25. add the alt tag:
), '<img class="n2-video-play n2-ow" alt="" src="' . N2ImageHelperAbstract::SVGToBase64('$ss$/images/play.svg') . '"/>');

also at line 73.:
$playImage = '<img class="n2-video-play n2-ow" alt="" src="' . N2ImageHelperAbstract::SVGToBase64('$ss$/images/play.svg') . '"/>';

and line 92.:
), '<img class="n2-video-play n2-ow" alt="" src="' . N2ImageHelperAbstract::SVGToBase64('$ss$/images/play.svg') . '"/>');

If you use vimeo video, then this file:
wp-content\plugins\smart-slider-3\library\smartslider\plugins\item\vimeo\vimeo.php

line 26.:
), '<img class="n2-video-play n2-ow" alt="" src="' . N2ImageHelperAbstract::SVGToBase64('$ss$/images/play.svg') . '"/>');

line 41.:
$playImage = '<img class="n2-video-play n2-ow" alt="" src="' . N2ImageHelperAbstract::SVGToBase64('$ss$/images/play.svg') . '"/>';

line 58.:
), '<img class="n2-video-play n2-ow" alt="" src="' . N2ImageHelperAbstract::SVGToBase64('$ss$/images/play.svg') . '"/>');

Then press the Clear cache button:
https://doc.smartslider3.com/article/215-cache

And you should pass that test!

This will be in the next version, what we can hopefully put out next week, so if it’s not important, you could just wait for the update.

Thanks, i wait for the update
