## Description

**Auto Alt Image Meta** automatically improves image accessibility and SEO by adding
missing `alt` and `title` attributes at render time.

The plugin works instantly after activation and does **not require you to update
posts or pages**. It dynamically injects attributes only when they are missing, 
ensuring existing manual values are never overwritten.

This approach is lightweight, safe, and matches how professional SEO and accessibility
plugins operate.

### How it works

 * Scans images when a page is rendered
 * Adds ALT and TITLE **only if they are missing or empty**
 * Uses a smart priority system:
    1. Image title (Media Library)
    2. Human-readable filename (if valid)
    3. Post or page title (fallback)
 * Ensures **unique ALT text** when multiple images exist
 * Also supports **Featured Images**
 * Makes **no database changes**

### Why this approach is recommended

 * No bulk updates required
 * No risk of data loss
 * Works for old and new content
 * SEO-safe and accessibility-friendly
 * Plugin can be disabled anytime without leaving permanent changes

### Features

 * Automatically adds missing ALT attributes
 * Automatically adds missing TITLE attributes
 * Works for images inside post/page content
 * Works for featured images (post thumbnails)
 * Smart detection to avoid hash or junk filenames
 * Prevents duplicate ALT text on the same page
 * Never overwrites existing values
 * No settings page required
 * No database writes
 * Lightweight and fast

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate **Auto Alt Image Meta**
 3. That’s it — no configuration needed

## FAQ

### Does this plugin modify my posts or images permanently?

No. All changes are applied dynamically at render time. Your database remains untouched.

### Will Google and screen readers see the ALT text?

Yes. ALT and TITLE attributes are present in the final HTML output.

### What happens if I already set ALT text manually?

The plugin respects manual values and does nothing.

### Does it work with old posts?

Yes. Existing posts automatically benefit without updates.

### What if the plugin is deactivated?

Injected ALT and TITLE attributes will no longer appear, since no permanent changes
are made.
