    I also tried to use the image alt tag replacement feature on a site with Astra, Astra Pro with Elementor / Elementor Pro. It identified the images with missing alt tags but when I used the interface to replace them, they were not reflected on the website. I had used Elementor Image widgets to add the images to the site.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    Thanks for reporting, we will check that with the Latest Elementor pro and ping you back here. We just ask them to provide us the latest PRO version to check that out.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    We just check and it seems that’s maybe it’s an elementor bug or they’ve changed something in their image HTML output but the alt is not generated even without WP Meta SEO. Please take a look here: https://goo.gl/j77SqF

    I think you can get in touch with them and let me know what is their opinion.

    Not sure how you created that buy I added images all over a site I have (right now with force login plugin enabled so not public) via their image widget and although it is frustrating that they have no interface for adding alt tags, if you have an alt tag specified within the media library for any image, when you add it via the Elementor Image widget, it does indeed pull that and display it.

    Hi,

    There’s several things I need to check:
    – Can you try edit a alt tag from here and tell me if it works on frontend?
    https://goo.gl/Yvf5i3

    In fact the alt edition from this field edit all the default alt tag for this image, even if the very same image is inserted in different places in your content. It’s exactly like editing an image alt from the media manager.

    On the other side, clicking on the button “Edit meta” will edit the alt information of the image in the content itself and not on other places.

    So I was not clear from your shared image where you meant, but I guessed.

    I changed the alt tag at WP Admin>WP Meta SEO>Image Information where all images are listed with multiple fields listed per image and it DID actually work – as in what I changed it to showed up on the front end. Great.

    However when I clicked on the Edit Meta or Edit Meta In button and edited it there, then it did NOT work.

    So it seems with Elementor that it inserts At tags from whatever is specified for an image in the Media Library. Thus I am guessing you cannot specify a unique alt tag for a specific image used in a specific location /page or post.

    That’s fine, now that it is clear.

    Hi,

    We’ve identified the problem and fixed it. A new version will be pushed soon, could you then update and let me know?

    Thanks.

    Well, you fixed that function but whatever you did creating a VERY BIG PROBLEM that you better fix soon because you are going to get some very mad users.

    The result is that for some reason the page is now loading without the style sheet – no CSS styling on the page.

    I confirmed by repeating and the exact same thing happened. I used the Edit in button and changed the alt tag on a specific page and before I did that the page loaded properly and afterwards it loaded with no CSS.

    All the rest of the site is fine. I returned to your plugin Image Information page and removed the text I had added and clicked outside the box until I got confirmation that it took (by the way that is really non-intuitive to have someone enter some text in a box and not have a button or link to click to submit the change).

    Anyways. If this was my live site I would be through the roof pissed and I am now concerned that I have this plugin on a few sites. Even when I disabled your plugin, the problem exists.
