Media Alt text disappear with UI modules

    With Classic Editor, the “alt text” disappears when using ACFE, in the Media Edit page (it’s still there on media upload, or media modification directly from within the post).

    The solution to disable the ui module through acfe_update_setting(‘modules/ui’, false) disable the entire ui module, which is not what I wish.

    Here is how it looks in the admin :
    https://o-maroc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/no-alt-text.jpg

    And the corresponding source code :
    https://o-maroc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/source-code.jpg

    The alt text that appears was entered when uploading the media, but cannot be edited. It briefly appears on the screen, before being hidden by the new metabox.

    This is relatively new, but I can’t link it to any specific version of acfe, as I did not noticed it immediately.

    I would appreciate any patch, before this being solved in the next version.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    In fact, the latest WP 6.0.x version changed the “Alt” field from text input into a textarea, which broke the?Enhanced UI module.

    This will be fixed in the next patch. Unfortunately I cannot provide any quickfix for the current version, as the Enhanced UI code is kinda complex. The next patch is just around the corner tho.

    In the meantime, if you need to use this field, I would recommend to disable the Enhanced UI either using code or the Settings UI.?You’ll find more information about it here.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.

    Thanks for the quick feed back !

    I actually managed to keep the enhanced ui and the alt field by commenting line 45 in ui-attachment.php

    It’s a quick and dirty fix, but it’s ok for the time waiting for the next patch
