20265 releases

  1. Image Alt Text 4.1.1Latest

    • Fix – Sorting the image list by Title or Date now works when you click the column heading.

  2. Image Alt Text 4.1.0

    • Feature – New alt text coverage dashboard at the top of both image tabs: see at a glance what percentage of your images have alt text, with a colour-coded progress bar and with / missing / total counts.
    • Feature – Full translation support. Every interface string (including JavaScript messages and the table UI) is now translatable, with bundled German, Spanish, and Portuguese translations and a fresh translation template for the community.
    • Improvement – “Copy Filename to Alt” now cleans the filename automatically, removing WordPress size suffixes (e.g. -1024×768, -scaled), converting hyphens and underscores into spaces, and tidying capitalisation. “IMG_0421-1024×768-scaled” becomes “IMG 0421”.
    • Improvement – “Copy Title to Alt” now tidies separators and capitalisation too, while preserving intentional punctuation and brand casing (e.g. “iPhone” stays “iPhone”).
    • Fix – Icons now display correctly across the plugin’s screens.
