Thank you for this article,
Following a hacking, I had to delete and start my WORDPRESS site from scratch…. it's been three weeks.

I am using a new OcéanWP and Elémentor pro theme. My site reappears in the 1st places in Google searches for "corporate photographer aix en provence", but no new image ???? I have the impression that the image gallery created with Elémentor pro is blocking the referencing ??? The images in the Elémentor gallery do not appear in my site map.
The alt and names of the images are well informed. I am using Yoast SEO + XML site Map
I'm going in circles :-)) - An idea would be welcome, I spent hours reading everything without result?
