03 / Website use cases
Where to use post image alt summary
Images without useful alternative text shut out screen reader users and are easy to miss in a long post. Post image alt summary checks every image in the post as readers see it, while you edit, and lists the ones with missing, file-name, "image of" or very long text, and linked images that leave a link without a name, with a link to fix each one.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot post image alt summary
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why do visitors not see it?
It is an editing aid shown only to people who can edit the post.
Why did my fix not show?
Elementor content is read from the last saved version; save and reload.
Why is an empty alternative text counted as decorative?
Empty text tells screen readers to skip the image, which is right for decoration.
Why is there no edit link?
The image is not from the Media Library, or you cannot edit it.
Post image alt summary plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Where does it get its information?
From the images in the post's own content, as readers see it, and their Media Library entries.
Where should I place it?
In a single post template or on a post, where editors will see it while editing.
Does it send anything to other services?
No. Everything is read from your own WordPress site while the page is built.
Is it a full accessibility audit?
No. It applies a few simple checks to images only.
