    Hello,

    Where in settings to activate the Alternative Text column in Media Library please?
    I have it enabled at one site but cannot find where to enable it for another site…

    Thanks.

    When inspecting the columns I get this:

    <th scope="col" id="rank_math_image_alt" class="manage-column column-rank_math_image_alt"><span>Alternative Text <a href="#&quot;" class="dashicons dashicons-edit" title="Bulk Edit This Field"></a></span> <span><a href="#" class="button button-primary button-small rank-math-column-save-all">Save All Edits</a> <a href="#" class="button-link button-link-delete rank-math-column-cancel-all">Cancel</a></span></th>

    Thanks but I already checked 2 other sites and they don’t have this option.

    Hello,

    Thanks for getting back.

    Please navigate to WP Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Links and make sure that the Redirect Attachments option is disabled:

    After that navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Attachments and enable the Bulk Editing option:

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Thanks, that works fine now.

    Interestingly, after performing this procedure, you can re-enable the Redirect Attachments option and the Alternate Text column remains visible in Media Librady!

    Hello,

    Glad that helped.

    That should be because by default that feature would be disabled. So once you enable it, it stays enabled even after activating the Redirect Attachments option.

    Please feel free to reach out to us again in case you need any other assistance.

    We are here to help.

    Thank you.
