Alt Image Tag for Blog Profile Picture

[nikkiIPH]

While working in the SEO tool on Hubspot (which is great), the last issue I was going to address was the missing image alt tags. All image alt tag issues reported were for the blog author images. How can this be resolved?

Hi @nikkiIPH !

You would need to go into the blog template, find the code for the author part of your blog and add the alt tag from there. I usually just put in the token for the author's name:

<img src="{{ content.blog_post_author.avatar }}" alt="{{ content.blog_post_author.display_name }}">

You can get to the template by opening your blog page while logged into Hubspot, clicking the Sprocket button in the top right, and clicking Edit Listing Template.

Most templates would have the code in the Blog Content module. Click on it and then in the right panel scroll to the bottom to click Edit post template.

Then if you Ctrl+F (Command+F on Mac) and search for 'author' you should be able to find it.

Hope this helps : )

We go the same issue reported from our SEO Audit.  We have an awful lot of blogs, so it's not ideal to have to go through all of them to add this - plus add this for every new blog.  Surely HubSpot could add alt tag to the Blog Author record so that this need only be done once.

Thank you Laura @ HubSpot Help, who updated the code in the template.  I didn't have to do it for every blog after all.

That worked. Thanks!
