## 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/).

### 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.

## 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.

    are On.
 4. Open Media > Library and switch to List view.
 5. Use the Alt Text column or the Empty alt text filter.

## FAQ

### 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.
