 * THANKS for creating a plugin to update alts for images!!!
 * I installed the dev version and added Insert fixit, but I can’t get any of the
   Insert Fixit functions to work. All plugins, themes, and WP are up to date.
 * I’ve tried:
    Alt from Item Ad Attribute I also tried Attach Media Items since
   my media items come up as unattached in the Media Library.
 * I’m using the Divi theme.
 * Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finsert-fixit-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Thanks for starting a new topic on this subject, since the earlier topic ([Updating decsription and alternative text for image already linked to a post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-decsription-and-alternative-text-for-image-already-linked-to-a-post/))
   was becoming unmanageable.
 * The Insert Fixit tools like “Alt from item” and “Add attribute” look for a pattern
   match in the post/page content to do its work. It is possible that your content
   has a different format and is not matching. It would be most helpful to see the
   actual content, e.g., from the “code editor” version of the post/page. Can you
   post a link to one of the failing items or post an update with the content (enclosed
   in a code block)?
 * I don’t think any of the “Attach Media Library items” will be helpful.

 * Site is: [https://www.acapellaaudio.com](https://www.acapellaaudio.com)
 * Not sure what you mean by ‘code editor’ or ‘post a link to one of the failing
   items or post an update with the content (enclosed in a code block)’.
 * Here’s example code for an image inserted in a slider:
 *     ```
       			</div> <!-- .et_pb_slide -->
       			<div class="et_pb_slide et_pb_slide_5 et_pb_section_parallax et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_media_alignment_center et_pb_slider_with_text_overlay" data-slide-id="et_pb_slide_5" style="z-index: 1;">
       				<span class="et_parallax_bg_wrap"><span class="et_parallax_bg et_pb_parallax_css" style="background-image: url(https://www.acapellaaudio.com/WordpressDave/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Mixing-or-Restoration.jpg);"></span></span>
       ```

 * Thanks for your update with the example code from your site.
 * The Insert Fixit tools are designed to find and fix images inserted by WordPress
   features in the body (content) of a post or page with an HTML “img” tag. They
   are not intended to work with other techniques such as the “**_image inserted
   in a slider_**” example you posted above. In your example, the image URL is an
   element of the “style” attribute in an HTML “span” tag.
 * Based on the example you gave I do not think the MLA Insert Fixit tools will 
   be of use in your application. I regret the news is not better, but I am marking
   this topic resolved simply because your question/issue has been addressed to 
   the best of MLA’s ability. Please post an update if there is another way MLA 
   can be of use to you. Thanks for your understanding and your interest in the 
   plugins.

 * Hi, I have been looking for exact same solution for past few days, for updating
   image alt tags for already created posts and pages. I was really excited to to
   find this plugin. However when i downloaded it, and tried it for one a particular
   post for a single media file: it is not updating the alt tags:
    ALT to Item matched
   1 posts/pages to 0 items and updated 0 items. There were 0 error(s).
 * alt tags are already present but are not getting updated.
 * Could you please help.

 * Thanks for your report and for your patience while I was traveling and away from
   my system.
 * I want to make sure I understand how you are using the Insert Fixit plugin. It
   looks like you are clicking the “ALT from item” tool in the “Copy ALT Text between
   Media Library items and Post/Page inserts” section; is that right?
 * If that’s right, is it possible to post a link to the post you are testing with?
   The tool is sensitive to the HTML code used for the image insert and I want to
   make sure the tool will work in your specific application. You could also use
   the WordPress “Code Editor” and copy the HTML from the post source and add it
   to this topic. You should see something like this:
 *     ```
       <!-- wp:image {"id":6497,"sizeSlug":"large"} -->
       <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://l.mladev/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Ferrari-sports-car-picture-2018-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="one two three" class="wp-image-6497"/><figcaption>one two three</figcaption></figure>
       <!-- /wp:image -->
       ```
   
 * Any additional information you can provide will be helpful; thanks.
