What about ALT tags for images?
Nadia De Vriendt - September, 2019
hi Jason
Thank you for reaching out, and a very good question, indeed. In all 3 cases the image’s file name is automatically used as ALT tag.
For the images used in questions and answer options, you can change this tag by going into the HTML code (via the code button: < >) and editing it there.
If it concerns a banner that is added via the Appearance settings, then you can easily change the file name in the Media library. Go to Media, locate your image, click on it and then click on “Rename”. If you had already added that image as banner, you may need to re-do that in order for the new ALT tag to appear.
Good luck with your surveys!
