  • Hi @ngorbit

    Thanks for flagging this. Better support for alt text (and other SEO techniques) for self-hosted WordPress sites is something the mobile team would like look in to at some point.

    Speaking specifically to supporting alt text, the mobile apps are limited by what is supported in the WordPress XML-RPC API and currently there are some challenges supporting alt text on images. 

    One work around would be to install the Jetpack plugin on your site. This would let the app use the WordPress.com REST API instead of the XML-RPC API. The WordPress.com REST API does not have the alt text limitation that the XML-RPC API does.

    Otherwise, @bcworkz’s suggestion to add the alt text via the media library in the web admin is currently the best approach as far as I know. At least for the time being.

    Hope this helps!

    I don’t think anything has been said about it (yet), but I’d look for a post on the make blog.

    Hola thread 🙂

    Fun facts! There are actually official WordPress apps on six different platforms. Check it out:

    All the apps are open source, just like WordPress core, and the mobile team wrangles the apps the same way the core team wrangles WordPress core. Come say hi!

    There are a lot of folks from Automattic who contribute to the mobile apps, and Automattic manages the app store accounts. I think this causes some confusion about who “owns” the apps. At the end of the day, they belong to the community. 🙂

    Lynn, the forum for the Windows Phone app is over here:

    Cheers!
