Hi lencoint!

Unfortunately there is not a way within the theme options at the moment, but, I can suggest it to the developer for a future theme update.

Meanwhile, if you are happy to edit the theme's code I can show you which part to edit if that's any help?

Hi lencoint,

Ok great! You will need to edit this file: north\framework\functions\blog-functions.php

Then you will need to change lines 409-411 where it says:

<div class="single_item mp-gallery">
        <a href="<?php echo $imgurl[0]; ?>" title="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); ?>">
            <img src="<?php echo $imgurl[0]; ?>" alt="<?php echo get_post_meta( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); ?>">

Change it to:

<div class="single_item">
            <img src="<?php echo esc_url($imgurl[0]); ?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr(get_post_meta( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true)); ?>">

Then save, upload and replace to the same directory in your server via ftp/hosting control panel.

Hi lencoint,

Yes unfortunately you will need to edit it each time

And no, that's not a stupid question at all

That part of the theme seems unlikely to change with each update so you should just be able to copy/paste the same code each time (unless we do add the option for it in the theme options, we'll see)
