The X theme is great!

One question, it seems alt attributes are not populating on image slides in Revolution Slider (version 4.6.0).

Alt tags are set within the media library, and on the image slide’s alt attribute field, and the image slide link / image title fields are set as well.

Is there some simple way to get alt tags populating? Or does this require a newer version of Revolution Slider?

Example: The slider image on the top of the page..

Thanks for writing in! You can add alt text via revolutions slider. When you add an image layer, under the text box where it has the image title there is an alt text box you can use.

Hope this helps! Thanks!

This also appears to be the behavior on another site running X theme and Revolution slider.
This site has alt tags set like the screenshot as well but they appear empty for the various image elements in the slider. http://bit.ly/1rUTDQ1

Hmm or is there something simple being overlooked?

Thank you for writing in, maybe because the main images in rev slider is set as a background and not an img so we can not put an alt attribute to it. The images on http://biztech.com/ were layer images so we did saw an alt attribute there.

Hope this helps. Cheers.

How do I modify the alt text for the logo?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for writing in!

By default the logo of your website uses your site’s description under the alt tag (see: http://prntscr.com/70956a). If you wish to change it to something else, it’ll require a template change. Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

After that, copy the file wp-content/themes/x/framework/views/global/_brand.php in your child theme’s folder /framework/views/global/, open the copied file in a text editor and locate the following line code of code:

$site_logo        = '<img src="' . $logo . '" alt="' . $site_description . '">';

Replace this line with following:

$site_logo        = '<img src="' . $logo . '" alt="YOUR CUSTOM ALT TEXT">';

Now replace YOUR CUSTOM ALT TEXT with your custom alt text from the code.

Thanks!

I’m really very new to editing these types of documents…

Question:
Do I need to be doing this with an FTP, on my desktop, or somewhere in wordpress?

Yes, you need to connect through FTP connection to modify files.

Thanks.
