    I can’t figure out how to add alt tags to the uploaded images, using the file name is just terrible for seo purposes. Adding custom alt tags to thousands of directory images greatly boosted my ranking on other websites. If Geodirectory used the standard WordPress file upload I could just add the alt tag to the code, but it uses a custom function which directly calls the images attached to the post.So the question is how can I add custom alt tags, or how can I modify the existing code to my purpose?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Dennis,

    It in our plans to let users add their own titles and descriptions, we have already added the DB columns and most of the code to display it but not the code to input it.

    Also in most places the images are shown as background images and give the title of the listing instead of an alt tag.

    It depends how you would like to proceed but i can give you snippets of how you can edit things if you wish.

    Where exactly on the front end do u want this to show? As i said most images are not img tags but background images of a div.

    It will add the alt and title from the DB, it pulls the title from the table wp_geodir_attachments
