    I’m missing my image alt tags all together. I know I’ve entered the information and it shows in the media dashboard, but they are not being sent to the meta data of the site, is this a known issue? Is there a fix I’m missing??

    What images do you mean? Can you explain?

    When adding an image to a listing, there is no option to choose the alt attribute, it will automatically use the filename (less the extension).
    Images for listings cannot be added from the media folder.

    does this mean that it will always be missing the alt tags? is there a way to fix this? It would help bots indexing images from listings

    I said you cannot CHOOSE the alt tag, but it will have one automatically.
    They DO HAVE alt tags, look at the code here for example:
    http://wpgeo.directory/attractions/united-states/new-york/new-york/landmark/central-park/

    This is the code of the image: 

    <img src="http://wpgeo.directory/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/169_centralpark1.jpg" alt="centralpark1" title="centralpark1" style="max-height:400px;margin:0 auto;" itemprop="image">

    See how it has alt=”centralpark1″

    Are you using this setting: http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/basic-installation/#media
    If not, you will have problems with your images in the future.
