IMG Alt Tag In Image Carousel

I used the image carousel from the add-ons sectionsin SP Page Builder for my client's partnership logos. However, I am not able to find where I specify the alt tag for those images. This is an important SEO function. Here is the page: https://envisionhealthpartners.com/about-us/partnerships.html

Hello Steve Dunn

Image title is used as Alt tag for the image.

Best regards

Thank you for the response. I assume you mean "Item title" - however this places text in white on top of the image. An alt tag should not do that. Am I missing something?

Here is an example: https://envisionhealthpartners.com/about-us/partnerships.html

If you scroll down to the partnership logos, you can see the first logo (CHAP) has the "Item title" displayed.

Thanks for your continued assistance.

Hi. This adds text in alt at the same time.

Thank you for the response. Yes, I saw it adds the alt tag, but I am sure you can appreciate this is not a good solution. Displaying the text over image ruins the image. Alt text is needed for SEO. Is there no other solution?? This seems to be a very basic need in web design.

You are right. You can hide the title with CSS

.sppb-carousel-extended-heading{
  display: none;
}

Thank you for this solution. In future releases, adding a field just for image alt text (similar to the image add-on) may be work considering. This is a great product and a feature like that would be helpful.

Thanks again for the help.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a year later, there appears to be no place in the Carousel palettes to conveniently spec the Alt Img tag? Possibly I've overlooked it?

It is actually the same. You can use Item Title as the alt text of the images. And you need to hide the title from the frontend with Custom CSS.

Hi Ofi! The Identifying title, which typically will be short, and used to keep things sane for the developer, should not be used to generate the alt tag, which typcially is more descriptive. I'd argue probably even shouldn't be displayed by default anyway. Unless this is technically difficult/impossible, it should be fixed.

Your simple image addons provide for a) a Text title to be displayed, b) an admin label that's not displayed, and c) and img alt description. If anything in the carousel, I'd skip "a", and implement only "b" and "c".
