Insert Fixit not working

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) 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.

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="https://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.
