Why is RankMath not adding alt tags?

Hello,

I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with Rank Math not adding alt tags as expected on your website. The issue might be due to various reasons such as incorrect settings, conflicts with other plugins, or specific configurations on your website.

To troubleshoot and ensure that Rank Math is correctly adding alt tags to your images, please follow these steps:

1. Check if the Image SEO module is enabled in Rank Math. You can enable this feature by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO and ensuring that the Image SEO module is activated.

2. Verify that the Add missing ALT attributes option is enabled in Rank Math. You can find this setting under Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Images. Make sure the toggle for Add missing ALT attributes is turned on.

3. Confirm the Alt attribute format setting in Rank Math. You can customize the naming format for the alt tag in the Alt attribute format field. By default, it is set to %filename%, but you can change it to suit your preferences.

If after checking these settings, the alt tags are still not being added as expected, please provide more details or screenshots of your Rank Math settings for further assistance.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter promptly.
