I look after the site http://www.countrywaygunshop.co.uk. I’ve added alt text to all images in the media gallery however this is not pulling through to the product pages.

Is this something that can be changed by settings in the blanco theme setup or is it something that requires code adjustments to the theme files?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

As I see you have old versions of WordPress and the theme. Please update them to the latest versions.

Don’t forget to create back up of the files before the update.

Hi Eva, I have updated WordPress and the Theme now but i am still experiencing the issue where alt tags are not pulled through to the frontend. I’m also having some issues where product images get too big for the container when changing variations.

Thanks

Craig

Hello,

I’ve regenerated thumbnails. Please check your product images for variations.
Concerning the alternative text issue try to deactivate 3rd-party plugins. Perhaps some is causing the problem.

hi eva, are you able to maybe suggest which plugins would affect the alt text? I’ve disabled all the ones i would have thought would affect it and no change.

Thanks

Hello,

Sorry for a long delay.
There is a bug in the theme with alt text for images. We’ll fix it in our future update. Meanwhile you can resolve it in the file blanco/woocommerce/single-product/product-image.php, find the line 41 and after the code src="<?php echo etheme_get_image( $imgId, $mainWidth, $mainHeight, $crop ) ?>" add this line alt="<?php echo get_post_meta($imgId, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true)?>"

Please take our apologies for inconveniences.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

I am experiencing the same thing with the Legenda theme. No ALT tags for the product or the gallery images also none for the thumbs on the category pages or store page.

We have removed 3rd party plugins but no change.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Is there a work around for this at the moment? Maybe some code you can provide to modify a file?

Thanks

Hello @kingtidemedia,

For Blanco theme you need edit the file blanco/woocommerce/single-product/product-image.php, find the line 41 and after the code src="<?php echo etheme_get_image( $imgId, $mainWidth, $mainHeight, $crop ) ?>" add this line alt="<?php echo get_post_meta($imgId, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true)?>"

Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for the response, I was wondering if the above code has been tested on legenda theme?

src="<?php echo etheme_get_image( $imgId, $mainWidth, $mainHeight, $crop ) ?>"
add this alt="<?php echo get_post_meta($imgId, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true)?>"
