Find image attachments with empty alternative text directly in the WordPress Media Library.

== Description ==

Webris Alt Text Inspector adds two small tools to the WordPress Media Library list view:

- An Alt Text column that shows whether an image has stored alternative text.
- A filter that shows only image attachments with empty alt text.

The plugin is intentionally read-only for media content. It does not generate alt text, edit attachments, change image files, rewrite posts, or add anything to the frontend of the site.

A Review link opens the normal WordPress attachment edit screen, where users with permission can make changes using WordPress itself.

Empty alt text is not always a problem. Decorative images may intentionally use an empty alt value and should be reviewed in context.

Documentation: Complete usage instructions and additional information are available on the [Webris Alt Text Inspector website](https://webris.ro/alt-text-plugin/).

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `webris-alt-text-inspector` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
2. Activate Webris Alt Text Inspector.
3. Go to Settings > Webris Alt Text Inspector to confirm that Media Library tools are On.
4. Open Media > Library and switch to List view.
5. Use the Alt Text column or the Empty alt text filter.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the plugin change my images or content? =

No. The plugin reads the alt text stored by WordPress and displays its status in the Media Library. It does not automatically save or change alt text.

= Does it add anything to the frontend? =

No. There is no frontend output, script, stylesheet, credit, or link.

= Does it send data to an external service? =

No. The plugin makes no external requests and includes no analytics or telemetry.

= Why can an image with empty alt text be intentional? =

Decorative images can intentionally have empty alternative text. The plugin identifies empty values for review; it does not label them as accessibility errors.

= Where do I see the Alt Text column? =

Open Media > Library and use List view. WordPress does not show custom list-table columns in the Media Library grid view.

== Privacy ==

Webris Alt Text Inspector does not collect, transmit, or share personal data. It stores only its On/Off setting in the WordPress options table.
