Adding images – WordPress Accessibility

There are two ways to add images

Images can be added to the media library or uploaded to a page. Images added directly to a page need alt text added on that page using the image block options. Images added to the media library need the attachment details filled out.

1. Import an image into the media library

Depending on the information that’s associated with an image before it’s imported some of the attachment details will be filled in already.

Adding attachment datails - Alternative text, title, caption, and details — In this image the only attachment detail is the jpg name in the “title” field. A screen reader may read this aloud, and “IMG_7666” isn’t helpful.

2. Add the image right to the page

search for a block interface,"image" selected — Add a block, pick “image”

upload an image file, pick one from your media library, or add one with a URL — Add a block, pick “image”
