Prerequisites

  • [ x] I have searched for similar features requests in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
  • [x ] The feature is still missing in the latest stable version of Elementor ( Elementor Pro. )

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe. In regular HTML, you can use the same image across multiple pages and have different alt text for each. If I'm making several targeted landing pages (ie. for different cities) then I can just change the city name in the alt text but use the same image file. Curerntly with Elementor, you can only use alt text from wordpress media library. This means that if I want to create several landing pages with different alt text, I'd have to upload 10's to 100's of copies of the same image.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. I would like you to add alt text overwriting to elementor with dynamic content. This will allow users to use custom fieilds (ie. location field) to save server space and be able to use the same image across multiple pages for different purposes.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Using the html block and adding it manually, but this gets rid of the image customization in elementor.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I second this - I just came across not being able to do this and agree it is a massive omission from the ability to drive by dynamic data - we can do this for image captions, why not for image ALT and title

Even just being able to specify an alt text would be a start - a field that perhaps draws in from the media library but then can be overridden - the dynamic tags part would be awesome to have but in my case not essential in the short-term

I agree too. It would be very useful.

Its surprising this isn't something that's available yet. It's a basic SEO requirement. I would like to see this offered as well.
