    Hello,

    I noticed that WooCommerce 9.5 has introduced an SEO-related enhancement:
    “Enhancement – Use product name as fallback alt text in product gallery”
    GitHub PR: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/51936
    Official blog post: https://developer.woocommerce.com/2024/11/13/woocommerce-9-5-pre-release-updates/

    This improvement ensures that if a product gallery image is missing an alt attribute, WooCommerce will automatically use the product name as fallback alt text. It’s a valuable update for SEO and accessibility.

    I’d like to know:
    Does Woodmart support this new feature?
    Or will it be made compatible in a future update?

    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    Hello,

    We have partially implemented but it needs to be improved. We will fix this in our upcoming 8.2.3 update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Kind Regards
