Essence Pro Featured Hero Image – No ALT tag

[lvvvvvl]

Hey,

I'm trying to find the alt tag text I added to the featured images but it doesn't seem to appear within the source code of the page.

I've had experiences in the past where using a theme with no alt tag for the feature image resulting in drastic serp rankings, especially through Google Images. I presumed all Genesis themes were optimized for SEO.

Is there any setting or functionality to enable this to properly output the alt code?

Thank you.

Once a featured image is attached to a page or post, it takes on the page or post title as the featured image alt tag. I'm not sure of Genesis does this or WordPress. I haven't walked through the source code to determine the origin.

Oh I see. I've been using Yoast SEO so maybe that's responsible for adding an ALT field to images so I can specify what I want as my alt tag which is what I've been doing since I started my blog.

In this case the custom header function is used on line 178 of essence-pro > lib > header-functions.php

$bg_image = get_header_image();

You might be able to use code to add unique Alt Text for each image however based on this ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28861 and https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15926 doesn't look like it was ever added.
