I've always found well tagged images to perform exceedingly well on Google Images, but to my surprise the default gallery code in WordPress doesn't include them — even if you specify them in the media manager.
Anyone have any ideas what I can do here? The alt attributes appear fine if I insert images properly using the media manager, but for the generated galleries they're nowhere to be seen.
Here's my image.php if it helps:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $attachment_link = get_the_attachment_link($post->ID, false); // This also populates the iconsize for the next line ?>
<div class="attachment_page title_type_1 standard_page with_breadcrumb">
<span class="breadcrumb"><a href="/">Home</a><?php
$parent_id = $post->post_parent;
$breadcrumbs = array();
while ($parent_id) {
$page = get_page($parent_id);
$breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="'.get_permalink($page->ID).'" title="">'.get_the_title($page->ID).'</a>';
$parent_id = $page->post_parent;
}
$breadcrumbs = array_reverse($breadcrumbs);
foreach ($breadcrumbs as $crumb) echo ' » '.$crumb;
?> » </span>
<h1>Image: <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<div class="standalone_attachment">
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_link(0, 'medium', false); ?>
</div>
<div class="attachment_controls">
<div class="container">
<span class="previous"><?php previous_image_link() ?></span>
<span class="next"><?php next_image_link() ?></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
