Image Alt attribute on homepage icon menu

Hello @ipgill ,

Generally, the Icon Menu is meant to show icons that don’t need alt text. There aren’t options to add alt text but the link does have a title. Potentially, you could create a child theme to obtain and add text via the wp-content\themes\virtue\templates\home\icon-menu.php template.

Thank you for your help.

Because the website is using thumbnails instead of icons in the icon menu, we would like to add alt attribute to these. We do have a Child theme however unsure how to add alt text attribute to these thumbnails. Could you please help me with the code?

Hello @ipgill,

If you need help with the code, you should enlist the help of a developer. However, as I previously mentioned, there is a file you could replace using a child theme. The file at wp-content\themes\virtue\templates\home\icon-menu.php displays the image at line 27. You’ll have to add the alt text on this line programmatically.

echo '<img src="'.esc_url($icon['url']).'"/>';

Thank you so much. I managed to resolve it with this.
