AI Alt Text Generator

Changelog

2.5.3

  • Settings: managed credits (no API key needed) is now the recommended option, shown first; using your own API key is presented as an “Advanced” option below

2.5.2

  • Fix: the “Upgrade to Pro” panel now renders inside the settings screen so it’s always fully visible (the previous admin-notice version could be covered by the settings header)

2.5.1

  • New: optional managed credits mode — generate alt text with no API key needed (free 50 images/month via the AI Alt Text Generator service). Bring-your-own-key remains fully supported and free.
  • Future-proofed model handling: no hard-coded model versions; the default model is filterable (aatg_default_model), and the deprecated GPT-4 Vision Preview was removed.
  • Connect and manage a managed-credits account from the General settings tab.

2.5.0

  • New: optionally also set the image Title, Caption, and Description from the generated alt text (toggles on the settings page)
  • Expanded language support from 13 to ~48 languages
  • Settings UI refinements

2.4.1

  • Fix: the “Upgrade to Pro” notice on the settings page is now fully visible (moved to the standard admin notice area)

2.4.0

  • WCAG-aligned alt text by default: concise, purpose-driven output with no “image of” filler and a sensible length, better for screen readers and SEO
  • SEO focus-keyphrase integration: automatically incorporates the keyphrase from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and SEOPress (filterable; no keyword stuffing)
  • Page-context awareness: uses the title of the page/post an image belongs to for more relevant descriptions
  • Higher-quality, lower-cost image sampling: sends an appropriately sized image instead of a tiny thumbnail or the full-size original
  • Refreshed accessibility-first positioning (WCAG 2.2 / ADA / EAA)

2.3.2

  • Introduced an optional Pro upgrade: WooCommerce product context, scheduled background scans, and a coverage analytics dashboard (https://store.lessbutmore.ai)
  • Added contextual Pro information on the plugin’s own settings page (shown only there; hidden when Pro is active)

2.3.1

  • Updated the plugin homepage link
  • Corrected the stable tag so the 2.3.x release is delivered to all sites

2.3.0

  • Added developer extensibility hooks so companion add-ons can extend alt text generation without modifying the plugin
  • New filters: aatg_providers, aatg_generate_provider, aatg_generate_prompt, aatg_generate_language, aatg_pre_generate_alt_text, aatg_generate_result, and aatg_alt_text
  • New action: aatg_after_generate (fires after alt text is generated and saved)
  • Introduced a shared aatg_save_generated_alt_text() helper used across the single, bulk, on-upload, REST, and WP-CLI paths
  • No changes to existing behavior; tested up to WordPress 6.9

2.2.0

  • Added WP-CLI support: wp ai-alt-text activate, wp ai-alt-text generate, and wp ai-alt-text status
  • Bulk-generate alt text from the command line across many sites
  • activate configures the AI provider and API key (with optional live key validation)
