Problem: You are trying to translate the alt tags of images on your website using the 'media translation' menu, but after translating the page, the alt tags remain in English. Solution: We recommend you to backup your site first. Then, follow these steps: 1. Open the file
. 2. Locate line 357. 3. Replace the existing code:
public static function get_alt_by_url(string $image_url):string {
$attachment_id = themify_get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
if ($attachment_id && ($alt = get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true))) {
return $alt;
}
return '';
}
with the following updated code:
public static function get_alt_by_url(string $image_url):string {
$attachment_id = themify_get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
// WPML Workaround for wpmlsupp-12600
if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
$current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
$attachment_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $attachment_id, 'post', TRUE, $current_lang );
}
if ($attachment_id && ($alt = get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true))) {
return $alt;
}
return '';
}
After making these changes, check the translated page and inspect the image alt texts.
