(at the moment, I think they ar polulated with the filename of the image)
Is this already possible or would it be a feature request?
Greetings Konrad

as far as I know, the alt tag is taken from the filename, so hotel.jpg will be alt=”hotel”.
I tried to change the alt from the media manager, but it seems that won’t reflect into the page.

If you would like to see this working differently, please submit a request here.

If it gets voted by many we will look into it.

Thx

I am still in research mode and will submit the request if I start using geodirectory.

That’s a high-priority SEO issue, and since GD doesn’t import the photos into the media library, plugins that would usually work to fix that problem (e.g. SEO Friendly Images) are useless. If the photos are coming in from Facebook, for instance, the filename looks like this:

12678_26c0079c2b6f4e1cba683913dbdaea68.jpg

That’s worse than useless for SEO.

Can you please add the ability to edit the alt tag for people using screen readers?
