Connect the plugin with your API key
Paste an API key into the plugin settings so it can generate alt text for your account.
The plugin talks to your Alt Text Studio account through an API key. Create the key in the web app, paste it into the plugin, and click Connect.
Create an API key
Sign in to Alt Text Studio and open API Keys under My Account. Click Create API Key, give it a name like *My WordPress site*, and copy the key. You only see the full key once, so copy it before closing the dialog. New accounts start with 25 free credits.
Open the plugin settings
In wp-admin, go to Alt Text Studio → Settings (the top-level menu in the sidebar). The first section is API Key.
Paste the key and connect
Paste your key into the API Key field and click Connect. The plugin validates the key and shows your credit balance once connected.
wp-config.php as define('ALTTEXTSTUDIO_API_KEY', 'your-key'); and the plugin uses that instead.Related guides
