To set ALT text and tags on all gallery images, how do I do it?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! 

How can I add ALT tags to each of the images in my gallery? Currently, when I enter them in the title/description sections, they appear on the images, which I don't want. My second question is about tags - how can I paste them in bulk? Currently, the system doesn't recognize commas/semicolons and I have to enter each tag separately. Do I have to use CSS codes in this case? I'm not really knowledgeable about it :(

Thank you very much in advance for your answer

Best

This is your alt text. It shouldn't show over images but it could be theme dependant.

Hi Artur,

To add ALT text to each image in your gallery, you can usually do it within the webpage or content management system where you created the gallery. Here are the general steps:

  1. Locate the images in your gallery that you want to add ALT text to.
  2. Right-click on the image and select "Edit" or "Properties."
  3. In the properties menu, look for an option to add "Alternative Text" or "ALT text." This is where you'll enter the description of the image that you want to appear when someone hovers over or cannot view the image.
  4. Save your changes.

If your CMS does not have this option, you may need to edit the code of your page directly. You can add the alt attribute to your img tag as follows:

<img src="example.jpg" alt="Description of the image goes here">

Regarding tags, if you're adding them via a CMS or platform, there should be a way to paste them in bulk. Usually, you can separate the tags with commas or semicolons. If it's not working for you, you can try using a different delimiter such as spaces or underscores. If that doesn't work, you may need to contact the customer support team of the CMS or platform you're using for further assistance.

I hope this helps!
