Nevermind found a fix myself 🙂

I think the main reason was related to the fact that the “return format” was set to “Image URL” instead of “Image Array”.

After I changed that in my WordPress backend I now use the following code in my template and it gives me the alt tag and title tag of the image:

<?php 
$image = get_sub_field('inside_the_customer_imgs'); 
printf( '<img src="%s" alt="%s" title="%s" />', $image['url'], $image['alt'], $image['title'] );         
?>

I tried the function you created @jonathan, this is how I used to display the image:

<img src="<?php the_sub_field('inside_the_customer_imgs'); ?>">

This is you function, to which I also added the title field:

function get_image_with_alt_and_title ($imagefield, $postID, $imagesize = 'full'){
	$imageID = get_field($imagefield, $postID); 
	$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $imageID, $imagesize ); 
	$alt_text = get_post_meta($imageID , '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
	$title_text = get_the_title($imageID);
	
	return '<img src="' . $image[0] . '" alt="' . $alt_text . '" title="' . $title_text . '" />';
}

And this is how I call the function in my template:

<?php echo get_image_with_alt_and_title('inside_the_customer_imgs', get_the_ID(), 'thumbnail'); ?>

but somehow when I run this on my page I get the following output:

<img src="" alt="" title="THE TITLE OF THE PAGE WHERE THE IMAGE IS ON">

If I change the get_field to get_sub_field in the function the output becomes completely empty:

<img src="" alt="" title="">

Any idea what I could be doing wrong here? I know it has been ages since this request originally came, but Google led me here 🙂
