Feature Box addon - nowhere to put alt text when using an image rather than an icon

Asked by Addington 5 years ago Last activity 5 years ago

Hi,

When using the Feature Box add-on, there is nowhere to add alt text for any image used. Is there a way around this, or can be it be added as a fix in the next version?

Many thanks.

The item title is actually the alt text.

Kindly see the attachment https://prnt.sc/if1myf

If your template does not override Feature addon, Addon Title is used for image ALT.

Thanks for your quick response! In some cases, I may not want the feature box to have a title because the image contains text or information. Therefore, I think a work around might have to be -

Add a title that works as alt text > Set the title font size and line height to zero > Title isn't visible but is still in the 'code'.

Only thing is, I'm not sure search engines would treat text at o font size as 'usable' alt text. Do you know/think this would be a reasonable work-around?

Thanks
