SEO Friendly Images
SEO Friendly Images is a Wordpress optimization plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.
ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.
TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image.
Download
- Download: SEO Friendly Images
Installation & Usage
- Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
- Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
- Use the Options page to modify ALT and TITLE options.
- You are done, SEO Image does everything else
SEO Friendly Images options recognize two tags %title (post title) and %name (filename of the picture). By combining these two tags and additional words (photo, picture etc..) you can create relevant alt and title tags automatically for all images.
Here is a live example of the plugin (active on my blog). The image that has title and alt replaced with “%title” and “%name %title” respectively resulting in “SEO Friendly Image” for title and “example SEO Friendly Images” for alt.
There is one additional option called ‘Override default Wordpress alt’. If you uploaded pictures to your blog posts already and haven’t specified a description Wordpress would automatically add a default alt tag in form of image.jpg. Since SEO Friendly Images replaces only empty or non-existing alt tags, this would be left intact unless this option is turned on.

hi there .thanks for plugin:
Does anybody know if tis script is compatible with Wordpress 2.5.1?
Thanks in advance for any help on this!
best regards

There is a problem with WordPress 2.5.1 and gallery, the plugin is not working po gallery images.
hey. I’m having the spacing problem too, but it’s messing up the images on my site. Here’s what the html ends up looking like:
[img src="cochabamba-bolivia-128x96.jpg%20title=" cochabamba-bolivia-128x96="" photo="" alt="cochabamba-bolivia-128x96"]I’m also getting the following error:
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter. in /../seo-friendly-images.php on line 231hopefully this can be fixed soon, this is a very useful plugin. Thanks.
This plugin doesn’t properly handle img tags that are missing the trailing slash / before the closing >
It also causes validation to fail due to extra spaces that it adds into the img tag… eg. it changes border=”0″ /> to border= “0″ />
A great plugin for SEO purposes - thanks alot!
Is there anyway to get it to also have the ability to put in ALT/TITLE the categorie the post the image is in?
I have just installed this plugin and it works fine on pictures that I have imported into a blog. However, for photos that are inserted into the blog with WPG2 (and linked to my Gallery) the photos display as a broken link and only the only %name and %title details appear. Has anyone else tested it with WPG2?
Good idea, although it would be more useful if it put the image title in the title attribute instead of the page title.
Thanks
I just noticed that WordPress does not provide a title tag for images. Is this true? Or am I dumb? Maybe both I guess. ;-)
Nice plugin by the way but it puts space characters behind all equal signs.
With plugin activated:
alt= “… title= “…
With plugin deactivated:
alt=”… title=”…
Greetings from Germany!
Fantastic plugin! One problem is that it doesn’t work with the polyglot multilingual plugin. When you get this to work, it will be a perfect companion to all in one seo pack! It’s actually a very simple fix, shouldn’t take but 1 minute. Apologies for the double post.
It must be Wordpress which is adding the dashes to the filename then…Man that stinks…I love this plugin for the fact it says me a lot of time…However i cant have those dashes being displayed for the alt and title….Nor can i set it up to add the title of my post cause sometimes my posts have weird titles which i would not want the pictures to be titled as, i use the All in one SEO plugin with Wordpress so i just use that to come up with keyword titles for the post…So using this plugin that way would defeat the purpose for me……This is sad, i may have to disable it :(
SEO Friendly Images plugin does not alter any filenames, nor is it active in file uploading process. It is changing the posts as they are being displayed, to show different attributes to images. You can check out the image in this post.
