Image Alt Sync scans selected posts and updates any <code><img></code> tags found in the post content that reference media items (class <code>wp-image-###</code>), and replaces their <code>alt</code> attributes with the attachment’s <code>_wp_attachment_image_alt</code> value: 
– If the image is in the Media Library, it prefers the attachment’s Alt Text. 
– If no attachment alt is set, it falls back to the image filename (without extension) or the post title (configurable in the UI). 
– Optionally skip images that aren’t found in the Media Library. 
– Optionally restrict by image file extensions (e.g. <code>jpg,webp</code>).
Run in dry run first to see exactly what would change. The log shows each post processed and any per-image alt changes.
Highlights 
– Processes per post in batches with a customizable delay (default 100 posts, 1s). 
– Filter by post status and date range (quick buttons: Today, Yesterday, Last week, Last month, YTD, All). 
– Validate that “Date after” ≤ “Date before”. 
– Limit by Post ID range with buttons to auto-fill lowest and highest post IDs. 
– Skip posts without <code><img></code> (optional). 
– Exclude image extensions (comma-separated, e.g. <code>.svg,.gif</code>). 
– Dry run (browser & WP-CLI) shows clickable post IDs, post titles, filenames, and detailed old → new alt replacements. 
– Only processes posts that have at least one image attachment.
For more details you can send mail with your suggestions, recommendation to dufour_l@hotmail.com
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Choose your filters (date range, min/max post ID, or “Apply to all posts”).</li>
<li>Set Batch size and optional Delay between batches to throttle load.</li>

Tips 
– Use the “Lowest ID” and “Highest ID” buttons to auto-fill the ID range.
