How to fix no img attribute from this code

[Sala]

I’m having a lot of trouble getting the code below to echo either the profile title or just a manual text “profile image” as the image attribute.

<a class="bs-author-pic mb-3" href="<?php echo esc_url(get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ));?>"><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID') , 150); ?></a>

This code derive from page article where it shows the author image. i.e https://sopriza.com/men-should-never-ignore-these-5-symptoms/

Yes, I am aware that if users are given the option to enter alt text, some may do so in an abusive manner. For the time being, we’ve adjusted the php script to generate the alt automatically, thus there are no longer any SEO problem with alt images.

@Sala you’re missing the alt attribute

See below for a basic example

@phenomlab thanks for quick reply, my problem is how can i deploy the alt attribute inside the code above?

@Sala you can either use a WordPress plugin to do it for you, or a jQuery function. How is the image being uploaded?

@phenomlab The image is being uploaded using an inbound, right from the registration form

I guess the next question here is how do you apply an alt description to an image that is being uploaded to make sure it is unique? What value are you expecting here, and does it make more sense to ask the user to “describe” the image they are uploading? You’d probably also want some control over what is being entered there to ensure it complies with site policies etc…
