Red Outline missing ALT Tags

    Hi Joe.

    We have loved this plugin for years but the new feature with adding the red div box around the image for missing ALT tag is making it hard for us to keep using this plugin.

    We had to disable the plugin all together and re-add the images. I don’t know if this is a bug or something.

    When we see the red box around the image (text below as well), we right click on the image and add the alt tag. Yet the red div box still appears. (added div html coding from your plugin). Seems only way to remove it is to delete the whole div box with its image, and your warning text below and re-add the image.

    Is this the procedure you had in mind or is this a bug?

    Yes, you do need to delete the entire div box. It’s intended to be aggressive. If you add the alt text right away, it’ll never happen.

    I would like to make it easier, so that the div was more automatically deleted; but don’t currently have a way to do that and also include the text warning.

    Would be great if wordpress would implement a requirement, so that after a user uploads images, they must enter the ALT tag before the image can get added to the media folder.

    Yes, it really would…

    Joe a suggestion.

    Since you triggered the notice for missing ALT tags, why not do it this way if possible.

    When the missing ALT tag triggers, add another image below that image that says missing alt tag. The writer can delete that image and correct the image ALT on the spot. Once they submit or save draft, it checks again, and if still no alt tag, it repeats the same process with adding the image alt notice again!

    This way it adds less strain of removing the DIV coding around the image and having the user re-add the whole image. I hope I made sense and I hope this can be done.

    That’s a reasonable idea; it’s definitely easier to remove than the div wrap. I’ll give it consideration. Thanks for the suggestion!
