Alt Text assigned to images for Focus Keywords is not working

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the ALT text for your images not reflecting the focus keyword correctly. This can sometimes happen due to various reasons. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Ensure Correct ALT Text Entry: Make sure that you are entering the focus keyword exactly as it appears in your settings, including any singular or plural variations.

2. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with Rank Math’s functionality. You can refer to our guide on checking for plugin conflicts to see if this might be the case.

3. JavaScript Errors: There could be JavaScript-related errors affecting the saving process. You can diagnose these errors by checking the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to do it in Chrome:

   • Open Developer Tools by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome menu.
   • Click on the Console tab to see if there are any errors that might be causing the issue.
     
     

4. Update Your Post: After making changes, ensure you click the Update button to save your post. This is crucial for the changes to take effect.
