Image Alt Sync

外掛說明

Image Alt Sync scans selected posts and updates any <img> tags found in the post content that reference media items (class wp-image-###), and replaces their alt attributes with the attachment’s _wp_attachment_image_alt 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. jpg,webp).

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 <img> (optional).
Exclude image extensions (comma-separated, e.g. .svg,.gif).
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.

Usage

  1. Choose your filters (date range, min/max post ID, or “Apply to all posts”).
  2. Set Batch size and optional Delay between batches to throttle load.
  3. Choose a Date Range, or click a shortcut button (autofills Date after/Date before).
  4. (Optional) Enter Lowest/Highest Post ID or click the quick-fill buttons.
  5. (Optional) Check Skip posts without <img>.
  6. (Optional) Enter Exclude extensions like .svg,.gif.
  7. Optionally enable Dry run to preview changes without saving.
  8. Click Start. Progress and detailed per-post changes appear in the log.
  9. If needed, click Stop to pause after the current batch finishes.

Tips
– Use the “Lowest ID” and “Highest ID” buttons to auto-fill the ID range.
– Use the extension filter (e.g. jpg, jpeg, png, webp) to target specific image types.
– Check “Skip images not in media library” to avoid external or missing files.

常見問題集

Will it update the Media Library alt text?

No. This tool updates <img alt=""> inside post content. It does not edit attachment fields.

Does Dry Run modify anything?

No changes are saved during Dry Run. You’ll only see a preview in the log.

Which “ tags are updated?

Tags containing a class wp-image-### so we can map to the attachment ID and read its media-library alt text.

Does it also change the media alt in the library?

No—this version focuses on replacing alt inside post content from the media library value.

What if an “ has no `alt`?

The plugin injects alt="..." based on the media alt.
