No mass actions, no surprises. **Everything is included.** There is no locked functionality, no trial, no quota and no upgrade prompts in this plugin. ## Screenshots [⌊The audit report: how many posts fail each check, with a filter link per check.⌉⌊ The audit report: how many posts fail each check, with a filter link per check.⌉[ The audit report: how many posts fail each check, with a filter link per check.

In your WordPress admin go to Plugins, Add New and search for “Postlint Content Audit”, or upload the plugin zip. 2. Activate. 3. Open Tools, Content Audit and press “Start new scan”. ## FAQ ### Does it modify anything during a scan? No. A scan only reads content and records the findings. The only writes are the quick fixes you click. ### Which post types are scanned? Posts and pages by default; any public post type can be enabled in settings. ### How does the alt-text check work? It reads the img tags in each post’s content and counts the ones with a missing, empty or whitespace-only alt attribute. It is a source-level check, so it does not depend on themes or page builders rendering the page. ### Does a scan slow down my site? Scans run in batches from the admin screen (or via the weekly schedule you opt into), never on visitor pages. ### Can it fix everything for me automatically? No, and that is deliberate. It shows you the exact list and gives you one-click fixes for the two most mechanical jobs (default featured image, excerpt from content).
