How can I add Alt Text to my Header Logo Image

[juiceman]

I'm using streamline Pro. and need to set some alt text for the logo image. Is there something I could set in functions.php?

This is what is currently in functions:

//* Add support for custom header
add_theme_support( 'custom-header', array(
	'header_image'    => '',
	'header-selector' => '.site-title a',
	'header-text'     => false,
	'height'          => 40,
	'width'           => 215,
) );

An help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

long answer short, as long as you use a background image, an alt attribute is not meant to be added. You might be able to add an aria-label.
Here are just some posts about it:

Alternatively, you can use an HTML image instead:

You can add Alt Text to your image when you upload it to your Media Library in WordPress.
