Hey Again:
For example you have 4 shortcode in inc/custom-functions.php that are something like the following:
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'image' => '',
'title' => '',
...
), $atts));
return '
...
'<img src="'.$image.'" alt="" />'
If the above is changed to the following, then you would have a more ADA compliant theme with alt text:
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'image' => '',
'alt' => '',
'title' => '',
...
), $atts));
if( $alt =='' ) {
$alt = $title;
}
return '
...
'<img src="'.$image.'" alt="'.$alt.'" />'
Additionally, with parent themes, it’s good practice to make your functions pluggable so that you can easily override them in child themes. This simply means to wrap them in a conditional tag with PHP’s function_exists() to check if a function with that name has already been run.
Thanks,
Phil
