Description required: enable fallback alt tags about accessible-content HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello! This is about the changes added to images in Media > Alt text page. The plugin will also try to process the legacy-inserted images (i.e. images inserted into content before the plugin was active, and/or prior to making a change to an image in Media > Alt text page) and retroactively apply such changes to their already existing markup. While there's a lot of effort done in order to make this work seamlessly, there's still a chance this might not go well on every site. This option allows users to opt-in or out to this behavior.

So, in short, yes, it will attempt to fetch the associated alt for the media attachment in scenarios where that media attachment has already been inserted as an img tag without an alt attribute. It works with HTML directly, so it will work with images inserted via block and classic editor.

Sorry I wasn't clear about the purpose of the issue - it was a request to add more details directly to the plugin so users better understand what they're enabling. We're looking at recommending this to our users and want to make sure it's usable for them before doing so :)

Ah I see - yeah, makes total sense now :) The option description there could probably use some improvement. Thanks for the clarification, re-opening.
