If developers can make check if alt, title exist in attachment, and use manual entered Alt, Title it would be good, If not even this change is more than welcome.

functions.php, line 376:

$title = theme_get_array_value($args, 'title', get_the_title());

Lines 384, 392:

the_post_thumbnail($size, array('alt' => $title, 'title' => $title, 'class' => $img_class));

$result = '<img src="' . $img[0] . '" alt="' . $title . '" width="' . $img[1] . '" height="' . $img[2] . '" title="' . $title . '" class="'. $img_class .'" />';

ALT, Titles for media atatched images are empty and it is not so good for SEO. Can you at least add Page/Post title to ALT and Title in images. Better than anything. Artisteer did it well, dont know why you removed it. If developers can make check if alt, title exist in attachment, and use manual entered Alt, Title it would be good, If not even this change is more than welcome. **functions.php, line 376:** $title = theme_get_array_value($args, 'title', get_the_title()); **Lines 384, 392:** the_post_thumbnail($size, array('alt' => $title, 'title' => $title, 'class' => $img_class)); $result = '<img src="' . $img[0] . '" alt="' . $title . '" width="' . $img[1] . '" height="' . $img[2] . '" title="' . $title . '" class="'. $img_class .'" />';

Some temporary solution to not be dependent of Themler code. It works on featured image and doesnt touch post images, what is good. Anyway image titles in post images are removed since WP 3.5.

function isa_add_img_title( $attr, $attachment = null ) {
    $attr['title'] = the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' );
    return $attr;
}
add_filter( 'wp_get_attachment_image_attributes','isa_add_img_title', 10, 2 );

function isa_add_img_alt( $attr, $attachment = null ) {
    $attr['alt'] = the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' );
    return $attr;
}
add_filter( 'wp_get_attachment_image_attributes','isa_add_img_alt', 10, 2 );

Thank you.
Forgot, attachment title is automatically fileld by WordPress from filename. So there is not much to do. Only if code can compare filename and title, and see if title is our own or from filename.

Are you able to clarify what you mean by this please?

I'm not trying to correct or prove anything, simply want to understand what you mean as anything that will improve SEO will be nice to know.

My current understanding is when i add an image in Themler i can create the ALT text.

What is the above suggestion for / going to do?

Cheers,
Jamie

It is not for Themler added images, but for WordPress added images. And template tags for SEO.
