 * Hi
    I tried to ask the theme developer this question but either my English is
   really bad or they play some games with me telling me they don’t understand. 
   When I set background images in the theme I can’t see any code for these images
   when I use inspect elements in Chrome or Firefox. Yoast also doesn’t detect alt
   for these images. It looks like robots don’t see images at all. do I miss something?
 * Thank you.

 * Hey @ colcio,
 * Background images are set in CSS and do not have alt tags. There is not html 
   associated with the image itself. It is just a background property of a div.

 * Hope this helps your understanding.
