 * Hello,
 * First thanks for your plugin. I have been looking for a look time for a plugin
   like this one to update and edit images from my website and other related feature
   and considering getting the Pro version.
 * But unfortunately, it doesn’t work as expected for some reason. Sometimes it 
   works fine some times not. So, I have done a staging copy to investigate. Deactivated
   lots of a plugin and activated the debug mode to check the issue. But I wasn’t
   able to check what was the issue.
 * We will see that in the video that I am trying to add an ALT and that it kind
   of works as it is applied to the ALT on the image on the Media but your plugin
   doesn’t detect it and on inspect element it doesn’t show up.
 * The weirdest thing is that seems to always work on the feature image but not 
   on images on content. Also try with elementor and wordpress editor and same issue
 * Please check the video to understand it better
 * If you need access to the staging copy let me know if you don’t know what is 
   the issue.
 * Best regards,
 * Marco

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for contacting us, I just run a test with Elementor and see that the image
   is properly added. Can you tell me if the Alt is added to your image HTML when
   you add the alt manually from the WordPress field? (from the media manager in
   Elementor or from the media manager alone?)
 * Thanks.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for your feedback.
 * We never tried from media manager in Elementor.
 * But for sure it works when you do it directly from the media manager. However,
   not when we do it from your plugin.
 * Had a reunion today with my teammate meanwhile I saw your reply, which I have
   commented to him, and he told me that he has done it for more than 50 images 
   and never had issue from the media manager the issue is only when doing it with
   your plugin.
 * Maybe it’s because your plugin is not up to date with WP?
 * I have no idea frankly.
 * If you need it give me your email and I’ll give you access to the staging copy.
 * Feature suggestion for your plugin:
 * [https://nimb.ws/u2haZN](https://nimb.ws/u2haZN)
 * Filter image by article, page, category, etc. So, we know which image article,
   etc we are optimizing. That would be awesome and give a big plus to your plugin
   as you already the only plugin I have found which has this amazing feature but
   would be even greater if you could filter by images articles, page, category,
   etc to see what we are optimizing and so know which keyword to use on ALT, etc
 * Would ease the work of thousand of people.
 * Kind regards,
 * Marco
