Hi there, I have an accessibility website. Its important that Alt tags appear…but they dont. Even though they are all filled out.
Can you please help me?
I’ve tried adding them in the actual code , but nothing 
Hi There,
Thank you for writing in, would you mind to clarify how did you add the Alt tag? There is an alt attribute to your image but has no value.
Thanks,
Lets take the about page for example. I place the Alt tag in the image at the bottom (family photo) - but nothing is appearing when I mouse over the image.
I’ve tried adding the Alt tag within the VC code - nothing appeared for the bio pics.
I’ve also added all the alt tags in the media folder in the backend of WordPress - still nothing.
Hi there,
The alt attribute is not supposed to be displayed when you hover on the image at the it the alternative text for the image for screen readers or when the image fails to load.
Try using the title attribute in the <img /> code like title="I am the image's title".
Hope this helps.
Hi Jade, so “title” worked, but only for embedded images into the body text.
What about single images in VC? I tried to add the title in the code via the text editor - but it ended up creating a heading title above the image.
Hello There,
If you use Visual Composer’s text element and inserted the image in the text content, even if you have inserted the title, once you insert the image, the title will not be included, only the alt tag which is why when @friech replied, he said it is empty including the alt. This is the limitation or insufficiency of the text element in VC.
For example:
To make sure that the title is present, you will need to inspect your text element settings’ text tab and add the alt and title if it is needed.
Hope this helps.
