Upload the `wme-bulk-media-attributes` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. Navigate to Media > Bulk Media Attributes in your WordPress admin. 4. Prepare your CSV file with image URLs and attributes (see sample.csv for format). 5. Upload your CSV and configure which fields to update. 6. Click “Upload & Start” to begin processing. ## FAQ ### What CSV format should I use? Your CSV should have a header row with column names. At minimum, include: * `image_url`– The full URL to the image in your media library * At least one attribute column:` alt_text`, `title`, `caption`, or `description` The plugin recognizes various column name formats (e.g., “alt_text”, “alt”, “alttext” all work for ALT text). ### How does the plugin match images? The plugin uses multiple strategies to match CSV URLs to Media Library images: 1. Exact URL match 2. Normalized URL match (removes size suffixes like -300×200, -scaled, -e123456789) 3. Relative path match using `_wp_attached_file` meta 4. Basename match as a fallback This ensures images are found even if the CSV contains resized or edited versions. ### What happens if an image isn’t found? Images that can’t be matched are logged as “Not found” in the progress log. The plugin continues processing the rest of your CSV. You can review the log to identify any URLs that need correction. ### Can I test without making changes? Yes! Enable the “Dry run” checkbox before starting. The plugin will report which images would be updated without actually making any changes. This is great for validating your CSV. ### What permissions are required? Only users with the `manage_options` capability (typically Administrators) can access and use this plugin. ### Is there a file size limit? The plugin processes CSV files in configurable batches (default 25 rows per batch) to prevent timeouts. There’s no hard limit, but very large files (10,000+ rows) should use smaller batch sizes on shared hosting. ### Can I cancel a running import? Yes, click the “Cancel” button during processing. The import will stop after the current batch completes. ### What WordPress versions are supported? WordPress 5.8 or higher. Tested up to WordPress 6.7. ### What PHP version is required? PHP 7.4 or higher is required. ### Does this create new media library items? No. This plugin only updates **existing** media library attachments. Images must already be uploaded to your WordPress Media Library. ### Are there any plugin conflicts? This plugin uses standard WordPress APIs and should be compatible with most other plugins. If you experience issues with specific plugins, please report them in the support forum. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “1705 Bulk Media Attributes” is open source software.
