About this plugin
AltNegar focuses on reviewing missing media-library alt text: administrators can inspect and edit local title/filename suggestions, save selected images, and see per-image outcomes. It does not require an external service or API key. Upload autofill is optional and disabled by default.
AltNegar provides a review workspace for alternative text in the WordPress media library. It lists image attachments with missing or whitespace-only alt metadata and suggests text from the parent post title or filename.
Suggestions are editable and need human review. AltNegar does not analyze the visual content of an image, use AI, or guarantee accessibility or search rankings.
Features:
- Scan the media library for image attachments with empty alternative text.
- Review and edit suggestions before saving selected images or the current page.
- Recheck existing alternative text before saving and report skipped or failed items.
- Use filename cleanup and a configurable maximum text length.
- Optionally fill empty alternative text on new uploads (disabled by default).
- Translation-ready interface with RTL layout support. Translations are delivered through WordPress.org language packs when available.
Scope and precautions
AltNegar updates only the standard attachment alt metadata. It does not rewrite post HTML, block attributes, Elementor data, external images, or CSS background images. Updating media metadata does not necessarily change images already inserted into pages.
Decorative images may correctly use empty alt text. Leave those images unselected. A parent post title or filename may not describe the image accurately.
Back up your database before bulk changes. There is no automatic undo. Existing alt text is rechecked before each write, but writes from other tools are not transactionally locked.
Access and privacy
The review workspace and AJAX actions require the manage_options capability. Saving also requires permission to edit each image.
AltNegar does not send media, alt text, or site data to an external service. It has no API key, tracking, or remote font requirement. Thumbnails use the attachment URLs configured by your WordPress site, which may be hosted on your own storage provider.
Settings and media alternative text are retained when the plugin is deleted.
