Hi,

Lighthouse tells me that the logo has no alt-attribute (“…does not have decernible name”).

I found out, that this is only the case when I use svg-logos (alt-attribute is set in the media library) and so I think that I have to add some code anywhere. I also think that the class is av-contains-svg.

Can you pls. help me here?

Thanks,
Manu

Hey Manuel,

Thank you for the inquiry.

We can modify the html of the logo and add an alt attribute to it but we are not sure if svg tags actually accept alt attribute.
```
add_filter( 'avf_svg_images_get_html', function($svg, $attachment_id, $url, $preserve_aspect_ratio, $class, $svg_original ) {	
    $logo_alt = get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);

    if( ! empty($logo_alt) ) {
        $svg = str_replace('<svg', '<svg alt="'. $logo_alt .'" ', $svg);
    }

    return $svg;
}, 10, 6);
```
According to this article, svg tags accepts title and desc tags.

Hi Ismael and thank you for your reply,

Google is not complaining about the svg itself. It is complaining about the missing ALT-Attribute in die a-link of the logo.

Link does not have decernible name (missing alt-atribute) here:
—>> a.av-contains-svg <<—

So it would be necessary to read the alt-attribute of the svg and put it inside the alt-attribute of the a-link if I am not wrong?

Please run Lighthouse test of my site and you see in the part “accessability” the problem.

I put this code in my functions.php and it produces an error that the site doesnt load anymore.

Regards,

Manu

Hi,

Thank you for the clarification.

Try to add this filter in the functions.php file to add an alt attribute to the link element with the av-contains-svg class name.
```
add_filter( 'avf_logo_final_output', function($logo, $use_image, $headline_type, $sub, $alt, $link, $title) {
    preg_match_all('/<svg(.*)>(.*)<\/svg>/mis', $logo, $output_array);
    $image = $output_array[0];

    if(strpos($image[0], "svg")) {
        $logo_img = $image[0];
        $logo = "<{$headline_type} class='logo avia-svg-logo'><a href='{$link}' alt='logo' class='av-contains-svg'>{$logo_img}{$sub}</a></{$headline_type}>";
    }

    return $logo;
}, 10, 7);
```
If you want to adjust the alt attribute value, just look for this line.
```
<a href='{$link}' alt='logo' 
```
Best regards,

Hi
Ismael. Thanks a.lot for your code! This one works perfectly as originally intended. I found out, that the Lighthouse-error was not because of the missing alt-attribute but of the missing arria-label-attribute so I adjust your code with it and voilá it worked. :-) Please think about updating Enfold with this information. because it could help other people with the same issue.

Another question is, that Lighthouse tells me an error for this item:

—–>> li.av-burger-menu-main.menu-item-avia-special <<——

List items (
