    Hi,

    I’m currently looking at optimizing the SEO of a website I’m working on.

    There are a certain number of images that are displayed on the website but that can’t be found in the media section. These images are for example stored in the theme’s folder.

    Is it possible to add al attributes to these images?

    Thanks !

    Hi there,

    If the images are stored in the theme folder and are called in the theme’s code, you’ll likely need to make adjustments in a child theme.

    Hi mindctrl,

    That seems like a complicated solution.

    For your information, these images are, for example, also stored in “wp-contents/uploads”.
    Without them being present in the media section. Would it be possible to add them to the media section without replacing them?

    The Add From Server plugin will let you do that, but it might change the location of the files depending on your setup. Particularly if you have this option enabled. If you don’t, then they’d probably stay right in the same place, assuming they’re exactly in the path you stated.
