[Support request] Auto Alt Text from Image Title, Possible?

[litesprint]

Hi,

This isn’t directly related to GP itself, but I figured I’d ask. Turns out, until WP 4.7, the image title was also used as the alt text for images that didn’t have alt text specified. This is now no longer the case. Is there a way to get this back? Even if it just shows the image title as the alt text on front end, that’d suffice.

Hi there,

its not easy – there are several plugins and lots of code snippets around that do something similar eg.

But they all seem to progmatically add them on upload, add attachment to page or on front end load. Which could increase server queries to no end.
