Activate the plugin through ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 4. Go to Settings AutoAltify to configure options ## FAQ ### Will this overwrite existing ALT text? No. AutoAltify only generates ALT text for images that don’t already have it. ### Can I customize the ALT text? Yes! Use the provided filters (autoaltify_generated_alt, autoaltify_clean_title, autoaltify_clean_filename) to customize generation. ### What about performance with large media libraries? AJAX batching handles large libraries efficiently. The system processes configurable batches with delays to prevent timeouts. ### Where are logs stored? Logs are stored at wp-content/uploads/autoaltify-logs/autoaltify.log when logging is enabled. ### Which image types are supported? JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, and SVG. All can be enabled/disabled in settings. ### Will this work with custom post types? Currently supports standard WordPress attachments. Use filters to extend for custom implementations. ### What happens on deactivation? Settings and logs are preserved. Simply reactivate to continue using. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AutoAltify” is open source software.
