Tell us what you are trying to do?
My website is a directory and it is important that I can give data to those members on the number of times their image or the name (linked to their profile page) is clicked on. I use Google Tag Manager and I have set up the trigger to be linked to the 'alt tag' of the text link. I have successfully set this up for the image when clicked but I can't see how to add an alt tag to a post litle with link which is the field used for the clickabel link above the members profile image.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Not that I can find

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Yes I do this on my other websites citytherapyrooms.co.uk on the home page you will see all the therapists images and below them is the name (linked) to their profile page and each name has an Alt Tag associated with the specific therapist and this triggers an 'event' in GTM

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. You will need to use shortcodes and HTML code for that.

Replace [wpv-post-link] with a custom <a> so you can add attributes GTM can read:

<a href="[wpv-post-url]" alt="whatever you need to add here">[wpv-post-title]</a>

Make sure you use [wpv-post-url] for the HREF attribute of the anchor tag instead of [wpv-post-link].

Thanks.
