In which theme does this occur?
I’ve just noticed the error is on pages but no posts. Yet I use the same code format.
http://www.emberjd.com/
scrap the analyzer – there is clearly an alt attribute in the posted image code.
the analyzer might refer to a different image – please post a link.
I thought it might be the quote buttons, but it only seems to affect pages. Shows error count of 2 on each page, even when there’s only one button or loads of buttons like The homepage. `Error Count Description
2 The <img> tag does not have an ALT attribute defined.`
Webmaster provides the following explanation:
Low Severity Issue
The <img> tag does not have an ALT attribute defined.
Recommended Action:
Use the <img alt> attribute to write descriptive content for the image: <img source="pic.gif" alt="Accurate and descriptive keyword text that represents the image."</img>.
SEO Explanation:
As a general rule, search engines do not interpret the content of image files. The text provided in the <img alt> attribute enables the site owner to provide relevant information to the search engine and to the end user. Alt text is helpful to end users if they have images disabled or if the image does not properly load. In addition, the Alt text is utilized by screen readers. Make sure that your Alt text is descriptive and accurately reflects what the image represents and supports the content on the page.
I’ve looked up page source and its the BIBA and Unitas icons in the sidebar. Always had alt text in image widget but because no link like the other icons it does show up when you hover over it.
<img width="80" height="100" alt="" class="attachment-full" style="max-width: 80px;max-height: 100px;" src="http://www.emberjd.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/biba_member-jpeg.jpg"><img width="80" height="100" alt="" class="attachment-full alignleft" style="max-width: 80px;max-height: 100px;" src="http://www.emberjd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/resized_5166694b4505f.jpg">
Any advice would be useful. Thanks
Check this topic. The last thread could contain the solution for your problem. On the other hand, those two images missing a alt attribute won’t surely have a big impact on your search engine ranking.
