# Incorrect Image Count

 * The home page in the XML site map says that 8 images are displayed. Even though
   there is only “2”. For image count there is one in the body and one as a background
   in the header. In addition to these 2, there are 3 more images, but these also
   act as background images for a plugin and I was reading that images from plugins
   are not always applied to the image count for the sitemap. Can anyone assist 
   as to why this is?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fincorrect-image-count%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello!
 * We’re sorry you’re having trouble with the images being counted on the sitemap.
 * The Yoast SEO plugin detects images that have been added to the default WordPress
   content area or via a plugin/theme content area that is compatible with our plugin’s
   analysis. If those images are contained in an area where the Yoast analysis can
   crawl, they will be counted on the sitemap.

 * Thanks for your response, so it seems there no way to correct this. I guess this
   is not a bad error, just an unsual bug I noticec.

 * For now, Yoast SEO detects images in XML within the conditions as described above.
