Why are alt attributes missing from my collection images?

[stimpsonn]

Hi, 

When I run SEOptimer on my site, it suggests my site has 15 images and it cannot find alt attributes for 8 of them. 

The images it suggests do not have alt attributes are those which are the main images for my product collections. 

I have definitely input alt text in these images when creating the collections. There are also a lot more than 15 images on the site! I've attached a screen shot. My website is www.locherimus.com. 

Can anyone suggest how to fix this? Thank you.

@stimpsonn You already a list of URLs which doesn't have ALT text so just follow these steps to fix this issue-

1. Login to Shopify Store

2. On the Dashboard left side > Click on Content > Files

3. You will see all the images just click on image, pop-up will open just scroll down and you will see ALT text input box to enter the ALT text and SAVE. for reference see screenshot

Hi Sandeep, 

Thanks for your reply. 

All of these files already have alt text inputted and saved.

Nothing to offer but we have the same issue. Hoping for a solution

I was having this issue with my Collection List (Dawn base theme) and collection cards. Here's how I fixed it, hopefully, you can use a similar logic.

In card-collections.liquid searched for the term "alt"

As you can see it's blank. I then just copied the code for height below and replaced the word "height" with "alt"

alt="{{ card_collection.featured_image.alt }}"

I then previewed the site and used the inspect tool to make sure it was working properly. 

Hopefully, that works for you!
