Wonderful, does what it has to do!
I need to say that this plugin has been a game changer and such a huge help! Our company is responsible for many WP sites assigned to different users with different skill levels. We are on top of keeping Accessible sites and guarantee those to our clients. However, some of our users tend to forget Alt Text or fail to keep consistency, so the battle to re-add, find & replace, as well as just locate in general has finally been completed! This tool scans the whole site (or you can limit it), and it has been a big help in finding the same image on multiple pages and fixing, as opposed to the AI alt text plugins that only give the image/jpeg title (which is so bad). The Force Alt Text feature has been truly a blessing! Now our sites have been reporting consistently with 0 Alt Text issues! Thanks so much for this plugin!

Does what it says!
Seems to do exactly what it says. I just tested it out for a client. Love that inline edit that actually updates the text in the post it was embedded. Also love that it makes the ALT text required when uploading an image (even if there are ways around it). Great job.

very impressed!
this is an incredibly useful tool for quickly solving the issue of missing alt tags on a site. i've tried plenty of others and this is leaps and bounds better than anything else i've seen.
