Web Designer Cannot Get Their Image Alt Text to Show

A web designer is having a problem and hoped that others could help solve it. They added image alt text to many images in their media section by going to edit image, choosing one and typing in the image alt text field on the right side of the page. When they check it, they see that it is not showing up in the code, the image alt text checkers do not see the information and hovering a mouse over it does not show anything. This person is out of ideas on what the problem might be.

The designer added that they are using the Whizzy theme and a WordPress bakery page builder. They are using W3 total cache and have already tried emptying the cache. They also use a couple of speed plugins, including Autoptimize and Jet Pack. This person realizes something is preventing image alt text from showing, even though WordPress saved it. They are looking for ideas on what the problem could be.

One person wrote back and suggested that the original poster try disabling the plugins. If that doesn't help, the person suggested inspecting the page elements. The original poster did those things and stated that they found the tags in two different browsers. Another person replied and said that the original poster should go to the pages the images are on and edit them so that it pulls the meta data from the library. This person also suggested clearing the CDN and the browser cache.

The original poster wrote back after doing all of those things, reporting that there was no change after trying any of them. A different person suggested checking the builder settings. Another web designer commented that the original poster could keep removing one variable from the equation at a time while leaving the rest of the coding and options intact. This would allow the original poster to isolate the problem and discover why their image alt text is not showing. The process could take a while, so the original poster was advised to be patient while they go through the painstaking process.
