Hi Stephen Crewson,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Em, may i know which version of EasyBlog you are using? I tested locally with latest EasyBlog and in frontpage, the blog image already has the blog title as the ALT tag for blog image. Please see http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-12-11_1025.png

Anyway, you can take a look at file 'JOOMLA/components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.item.php' at line around 67:

<?php if( $row->getImage() && $this->getParam( 'blogimage_frontpage') ){ ?>

    <a href="<?php echo EasyBlogRouter::_('index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id='.$row->id); ?>" title="<?php echo $this->escape( $row->title );?>" class="blog-image float-l mrm mbm">

        <img src="<?php echo $row->getImage()->getSource( 'frontpage' );?>" alt="<?php echo $this->escape( $row->title );?>" />

    </a>

<?php } ?>

Let me know if you still having issue addding the ALT tag for your blog images in your frontpage. Or you can pass me your Joomla site the admin access and your ftp account so that I can take a look for you?

Please advise.

Hi Sam, Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, you are correct, the ALT tags show up for the individual posts which is awesome for optimizing each page of a website. I'm looking at ALT tags for the FrontPage layout instead.

The following screen shots should provide a little more clarification.

Thanks,

Steve

Hello Stephan,

I believe Sam was referring to Frontpage layout which already has the alt tag for each image. You might want to provide us your backend and FTP so we can check this.

Thanks Nik, I just submitted a ticket.

Hello Stephen,

Great, we will continue in the ticket.

Awesome Nik. Can I ask what the issue was and how to fix it. I have the same issue on other sites as well?

Thanks again Nik. I was looking at the default template rather than the individual templates. I am assuming the fresh installs have the ALT tag in them.

Hello Stephen,

Yes, we will include it in the next release.
