<p>This is an alt text modification plugin. It will take all empty alt tags and create a tag based upon the page they are attached to. This is best used when you have properly named files or have loaded images into the library in bulk.</p>
<h4>Plugin actions in wordpress</h4>
<p>This plugin searches for all images within the library which are missing alt-text attributes. The alt text will be chosen from page or post title elements if the image is attached to a page or post. Otherwise, file name will be used as the alt-text attribute of unattached images in media library.</p>
<p>The purpose is to help describe those images as best as possible for interpretation by search bots. Moreover, after updating, the plugin creates a file which lists all the images that was found to be missing alt-text attribute and then updated with alt-text.  This will allow you to then tweak where necessary.</p>

Update Image Tag Alt Attribute

fast


	The plugin is concatenating the terms into the alt tag when it's multiple words. So "red dog" becomes "reddog".
	A whitelist/blacklist terms feature would be great so that you could skip images with filenames like "screenshot".
	An ajax edit option would be great on the output list of media that's been updated.
	The plugin stalled on a large site that I tested it on, never getting past "Loading...". Would be worth it to chunk the output by media ID.




Lots of Potential

Could definitely use some improvements through an update.

The good part, it updates your empty alt tags.

The bad parts: the list it generates isn't clickable so you still have to go search for the images to tweak their content, the alt tags often have spaces removed, so a post titled "My Summer Vacation" seems to throw "mysummervacation" onto associated images as the alt text, and finally, instead of placing this in Settings or Tools (like the screenshot shows), it adds a whole new "Maui Marketing" area to navigation bar in WordPress, which is unnecessary.

Needs Work, Adds Menu Item

This is an alt text modification plugin. It will take all empty alt tags and create a tag based upon the page they are attached to.

<p>Restores WordPress default functionality prior to version 4.7 where image ALT attributes were automatically generated and put into the HTML code. The ALT attributes were generated from the Caption (if it exists) else from the Title (if it exists) of the image in the Media Library. This plugin utilises Titles in generating ALT text, but does not utilise Captions. The Title used by this plugin, is the main Title of the image as found in the Media Library, not the HTML TITLE attribute of the image (that is something else, which this plugin ignores).</p>


Automatic image ALT attributes

This feature is a time saver for me as my site is image oriented.

Thanks

Automatically generates ALT attributes in image HTML. Restoring WordPress < 4.7 functionality.
