    Hi, I haven’t got a reply from this ticket. Is it possible or not? I can’t find any in the documentation if the plugin has a hook that I can use. Thank you!

    Hi @ktrg2024,

    Sorry for the long reply.

    The main goal of alt attribute is showing something if the image is not loading. However, near the author image there’s his name which duplicates the same text like in the alt attribute and if the image is not showing, you will see two same names one after another. This creates a new problem and will not pass the WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation) tests. Due this we removed alt content (left this attribute empty) in case the name is visible. If you disabled name, the alt will be filled.

    From an SEO point of view there’re no issues, because empty alt is present. However you need to index names it will be indexed correctly in both cases, if name is present and if not.

    Please let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
