Description

On multiple themes, I find alt text missing on covers with this HTML alt="". When I add that to the HTML, it is stripped out when I publish/save. Is this intended?

Thanks for reporting! I'm pleased to find that this was reported and apparently fixed already on GitHub:

The cover blocks within the editor do not have the custom alt text in 5.8, but it should be available in 5.9.
