    \n

    What CSV format is required?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Each CSV row must contain two columns: the first column for the full image URL and the second for the desired alt text.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How does the plugin update alt tags?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    It locates the attachment by matching the image URL (using WordPress\u2019 attachment_url_to_postid()<\/code> function) and updates its _wp_attachment_image_alt<\/code> meta value.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What happens if an image isn\u2019t found?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    If an image isn\u2019t detected, the plugin will display \u201cChild image detected\u201d (if it appears to be an optimized size) or \u201cImage not found\u201d in the status column.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I revert the changes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes, the \"Undo Last Import\" button allows you to revert all changes made during the last CSV import.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    I don't see any changes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Make sure to empty your WordPress and\/or your browser cache after you run the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
