    Sorry, I’m new to this plugin. Does the bulk updater update ALL the attributes, or only the blank/empty/missing ones?

    Is there a way to only update missing attributes, and only update titles and ALT text, but not caption or description?

    Hello @galbaras

    Thanks for checking out my plugin. My name is Arun.

    The free version of the bulk updater updates all attributes in the media library. The features you suggested are available with the pro addon.

    These two docs will be of interest to you I believe:
    https://imageattributespro.com/preserve-existing-image-attributes/
    https://imageattributespro.com/how-wordpress-store-image-attributes/

    Happy to answer more questions if you have any. Wish you a pleasant day.

    @arunbasillal That is very confusing, as the basic version has check marks for several fields. It is odd that I can un-check captions, but it will still add captions to all the images.

    Hello @wpforumskc

    I hear you. The plugin was originally made for personal use and at the time the bulk updater didn’t have options.

    Then when interest grew on it I added features into the bulk updater and released the premium add-on, the confusion came along. I added this note to mitigate the confusion but clearly it hasn’t helped, sorry – https://jmp.sh/eQVEHroi

    I will come up with a solution for this problem.

    no worries, I just wanted to let you know. I found your plugin very useful.

    Is this correct: on the basic version you cannot choose which features come with BATCH. However, you CAN choose which features occur on upload.

    I believe this is what I experienced.

    Thank you for your hard work, and sharing this plugin!

    This is correct. Yes.
