Description

StackBuggs Alt Text Manager gives site administrators a focused workspace for finding and improving image ALT text.

Use the media inventory to find images without ALT text, edit descriptions individually, or apply suggestions in bulk. When WooCommerce is active, the plugin can suggest ALT text from the associated product title for featured product images, gallery images, and variation images.

The plugin preserves the existing Media Library workflow. It does not create duplicate images or modify image files; it only updates the standard WordPress attachment ALT text field.

Features

  • View images that need ALT text, images with ALT text, or all Media Library images.
  • Search images by title or filename.
  • Edit and save ALT text directly from the plugin screen.
  • Apply bulk suggestions using the media title or filename.
  • Apply WooCommerce product-title suggestions to linked product, gallery, and variation images.
  • View ALT text coverage totals for the Media Library.

Source code

All JavaScript and CSS files in this plugin are human-readable, unminified source code. No build tools or compilation steps are used.

This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by WooCommerce or Automattic.

  1. Upload the stackbuggs-alt-text-manager folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
  2. Activate StackBuggs Alt Text Manager through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
  3. Open Media > Alt Text Manager.
Does this work with WooCommerce product images?

Yes. WooCommerce product images are WordPress Media Library attachments, so they appear in the same inventory. The Product Title suggestion locates featured images, gallery images, and variation images associated with a product.

Is WooCommerce required?

No. Without WooCommerce, the product-title suggestion is hidden and everything else works normally.

What happens when an image is not associated with a product?

The Product Title action is shown only for linked product images. In a mixed bulk selection, images without a WooCommerce product association are skipped and reported after the update.

Does the plugin alter image files?

No. The plugin only saves ALT text in WordPress attachment metadata.

Does the plugin store any data of its own?

No. It only reads and updates the standard WordPress ALT text field, so there is nothing to clean up on uninstall.
