images missing ALT text

[depad]

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:
[php]
<img src='<?php echo $rpp_post->image; ?>’/>
[/php]

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

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

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

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
