Description
Images without alt text are a problem for accessibility (screen readers) and SEO.
This lightweight plugin automatically adds alt attributes where they are missing:
- Inside post content uses the current post title.
- For images loaded via
wp_get_attachment_image()uses the image filename (without extension).
If an image already has alt text, the plugin leaves it untouched.
No settings, no configuration — just activate and your site is more accessible.

Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/or install via Plugins > Add New. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
