How should I update alt tags on WordPress?

Question

I have a ton of images without alt tags on my WordPress website.  Is there a way to update these in bulk?

Answer

The easiest way to update your alt tags on WordPress is by browsing through the media library.  You'll find the "Media Library" in your WordPress backend sidebar, from there we'd recommend going through each image and providing it with a descriptive alt tag to help low-vision and blind users.  If the alt tags aren't displaying on the front-end of your website, you'll most likely need to make the appropriate change to your WordPress theme.
