    Hi Ernest,

    it seems like your plugin does not add ALT text and title to the thumbnail images of Realted Post Pro. Where can I find the line of code which inserts the image into the related posts ? I want to add ALT and title manually.
    Perhaps you can add this in the next version ?
    Thanks for your help…

    Best Regards,
    Markus

    Hi Markus,

    Indeed, because the image URLs are acquired in the process, the ALT text is not. I will note this and do a research on how to get this information if possible.

    The image information is printend within the related-post-pro/includes/views/rpp.shortcode.php file on line 169:

    
    <img src='<?php echo $rpp_post->image; ?>'/>
    

    What I suggest, is to put the post titles as the alt value, so changing that to something like:

    <img src='<?php echo $rpp_post->image; ?>' alt='<?php echo $rpp_post->title; ?>'/>

    That’s probably the best solution I can come up with right now.

    Best,

    Hi Ernest,

    many thanks for helping me. The same thing is in the next line of the same document where you add the link:
    don’t forget the title attribute! Like this:
    url; ?>’><?php echo $rpp_post->title; ?>
    changes to
    url; ?>’ title='<?php echo $rpp_post->title; ?>’><?php echo $rpp_post->title; ?>

    Its better for SEO 😉

    Best Regards,
    Markus
