add "alt" attribute for post thumbnail image for SEO purpose

hello inkthemes
my SEO verifying tools can't find alt attribute on the post thumbnails.
I found out that it could be set in infoway/functions/inkthemes-functions.php file at line 168.
But I don't know how to get alt attribute value of the images. I guess it should look like $image[something].

Thank you for your help
Best regards
Jerome

Hello Priyanka
Thanks for your help.
Your screenshot is nearly what I need. Instead of the post title (the_title_attribute()), I need to get the alt attribute of the image I selected in my media library. As I am a newbie in web development, I don't know what data to use.
Like width='$image[width]' height='$image[height]' are used to get image size, I guess there should
be a alt='$image[SOMETHING_I_DONT_KNOW]' to get the alt text. Best regards, Jerome

 

Hello,

You can add your alt attribute of the image from the media section as I have mentioned in the screenshot given below.

Hello
Thanks for your help. I am now OK with setting an alt text to an image attachment.
But my need is to pick this alt text from the sql database so as to use it in the inkthemes_functions.php file (at line #169) instead of the_title_attribute() you give as example i your first screenshot.

best regards
Jerome

 

Hello Jerome,

When you set the alt text of any image as I mentioned above in screenshot, that text will store in the database.

So firstly you have to set the alt text.

Hope you will get my point.

hello Priyanka
Thanks again for your help.
I looked deeper into wordpress and infoway theme and I wrote the following which makes me happy with SEO regarding alt attribute of my images.

function inkthemes_get_thumbnail($iw, $ih) {
$permalink = get_permalink();
$thumb = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$image = inkthemes_thumbnail_resize($thumb, '', $iw, $ih, true, 90);
/* JT */
$imgalt = get_post_meta( $thumb, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true );


if ((function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())) {
print "<a href='$permalink'><img class='postimg' src='$image' width='$image[width]' height='$image[height]' alt='$imgalt'/></a>";
}
}
