Image Alt Text Not Displayed in HTML Despite Being Set in Media Library

I am using the Woodmart theme with Gutenberg to build my pages. I’ve noticed a recurring issue: although I set the alt text for each image during upload, the generated HTML on the front-end shows an empty alt=”” attribute.

Hi medmo,

Thanks for reaching to us.

Try to add the following PHP code snippet to the child theme functions.php file:

add_filter('wp_get_attachment_image_attributes', function ($attr, $attachment, $size) {
	$id  = $attachment->ID;
	$alt = trim( strip_tags( get_post_meta( $id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true ) ) );
	if ( $alt ) {
		$attr['alt'] = $alt;
	}

	return $attr;
}, 10, 3);

Thanks, but we dont have this field (image alt/title) in the Carroussel element or Slider element,

How to fix Alt texte for such elements ?

For exemple the slider background in the HP, the alt test not display i added it manuely in the media files but without success

Thanks,

Hi medmo,

You need to fill the Alt into images directly.
