Social Dropdown vs Filikod – ALT Text Audit & Bulk Management

This plugin displays several social bookmarking options in a dropdown. Unlike other social bookmarking displays, this does not cause clutter. Whats new in 2.0 Version 2.0 features a new fresh look which is much easier to use and is extremely search engine friendly. Nonetheless, if you do not like the new layout, you can always use the old one via the administration panel. The new layout should go well with most layouts. The new version also takes into consideration of non-JavaScript users and would downgrade gracefully to allow non-JavaScript users to utilize every other feature (exception of dropdown). Integration with an external Social Bookmarking API allows your blog users to enjoy all bookmarks that are available even if you have not upgraded your plugin past version 2.0.

If you do not like Dropdowns, this plugin has the ability to show the bookmarks without the dropdown – similar to what other plugins display. Remember to read the readme file to ensure that you have done what is needed. Updating You can check what version the plug-in is at via visiting the Options > Social Dropdown panel. Deactivate the Social Dropdown plug-in. You may want to back-up your existing plug-in files just in case if there are any errors while updating. Replace the files in the social-dropdown directory located in the WordPress plug-ins directory. Re-activate the Social Dropdown plug-in from the administration dashboard. If you have modified the GenerateAll() function, copy the modified area and set $overrideoptions to true to preserve your changes. $overrideoptions can be found in generatebookmarks.php. Requirements A working WordPress install Your WordPress theme must contain a call to the get_header() function Your WordPress theme must contain the WordPress loop Most WordPress installs and templates have these, so you need not worry about these. To be able to use the dropdown, one must have JavaScript enabled in the browser. Fortunately, users without JavaScript enabled will see a list of social bookmarks at where the dropdown is. Customizing Within socialdropdown.php, these are some areas you can edit to influence how the dropdown appears. In the GenerateAll() function, you can re-arrange how the items appear, add new items or remove them (after setting $overrideoptions to true). You can already do this using the Options > Social Dropdown panel. Creating bookmarks Each social bookmark is generated using the GenerateLink() function, and the URLs used are created using the GenerateURL() function. The parameters are as followed: GenerateLink($type), where $type is the name of the social bookmark (e.g. Digg is represented as ‘digg’). In order to add a new bookmark, add the following lines of code after an item [i.e. after break;] in the GenerateURL() function. An example is shown: case '[name of social bookmarking site]': ?> [URL to social bookmark page] <?php break; In this example, when you call GenerateURL('yahoo'), the link for this item is generated. The link is the direct link to the submitting URL, usually available as an API on the social bookmarking site. Within the URL, there is some PHP code. the_title() represents the post title, while echo get_the_permalink() represents the URL of the post. Within generatebookmarks.php, find a variable called $all. Add ‘|[your bookmark name here]’ to the end of the string. For example, in the case of Yahoo, if $all contains “google”, then the result will be “google|yahoo”. Credits Several images are created or taken from the corresponding social bookmarking sites and edited to suit the plug-in. The dropdown javascript is taken from http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ and modified. The drag-drop library is provided by http://script.aculo.us/.

Most WordPress sites have broken ALT text, and most site owners have no way to measure it. Missing, generic, duplicated or too-short ALT text quietly hurts your accessibility score and your image SEO. The problem stays invisible until it is too late. Filikod scans your entire media library, gives you an ALT Quality Score from 0 to 100%, and gives you the tools to fix everything in bulk, directly inside WordPress. No external API. No credits to buy. No complex setup. You write the ALT text. You stay in control. Full documentation and guides on filikod.com Who is Filikod for? Filikod is built for: SEO professionals who want ALT text treated as a measurable ranking signal, not an afterthought Accessibility-focused teams who need a structured audit to meet WCAG guidelines Content managers with large media libraries who need to fix issues fast, in bulk Agencies managing multiple WordPress sites who need a repeatable quality process Anyone who wants full control over their ALT text quality at scale, without external services or paid credits ALT Text Audit and Quality Score Filikod scans your entire media library and instantly flags: Missing ALT: images with no ALT attribute at all Generic ALT: meaningless values like “image”, “photo”, “logo”, “thumbnail”, “untitled” Too Short ALT: descriptions too brief to be useful for accessibility or SEO Duplicated ALT: the same ALT text reused across multiple images You get a clear ALT Quality Score from 0 to 100% plus a breakdown by issue type, so you always know exactly what to fix first. This turns ALT text from a vague, invisible problem into a measurable system you can actually improve, like a health score for your media library. Bulk ALT Management Editing ALT text one image at a time is the reason most people never finish. Filikod lets you: Filter images by issue type (missing, generic, short, duplicated) Edit ALT text inline, directly from the audit view Save instantly without leaving the page Fix dozens or hundreds of images in minutes Built for real media libraries with thousands of images, not tidy demos with five. Context-Based Editing Good ALT text requires context. What is this image actually about on this page? Filikod shows you where each image is used (which post or page) so you can jump directly to the content and write accurate, relevant ALT text. No guesswork. Native Media Library (Media > Library) See ALT health where you already work: Filikod adds ALT Status badges directly in Media > Library, in both list and grid views. List view: a dedicated ALT Status column with one badge per issue, or a green Alt: OK when everything is fine Grid view: badges as an overlay on each thumbnail so you can scan your entire library at a glance Attachment details: an ALT Status field that updates live as you type, so you see the result before saving Multiple badges can appear on the same image when several issues apply. The cache refreshes automatically whenever ALT text is changed anywhere in WordPress. Optional Automation For teams who need to process large volumes, Filikod includes optional automation tools, all disabled by default: Generate ALT from filename (only for images that have no ALT yet) Remove special characters from ALT text (slashes, dashes, underscores) Remove title attribute from images (reduces redundancy, improves accessibility) Bulk process your entire existing media library in one click Execution order is always enforced: generate ALT from filename, clean special characters, then remove title. Predictable. Consistent. Always yours to control. How Filikod Compares Most ALT text plugins do one thing: auto-generate ALT on upload, often using a paid credit system. Filikod is an ALT audit and bulk management system. It works on your existing library, gives you a measurable quality score, and lets you fix issues at scale with full editorial control. What only Filikod does: ALT Quality Score (0 to 100%) across your entire library ALT Status badges in the native Media Library (list column, grid overlay, attachment details) with live updates after save Detects generic ALT values like “photo”, “image”, “logo” Detects duplicated ALT text reused across multiple images Detects ALT text that is too short to be useful Bulk filtering by issue type (missing, generic, short, duplicated) Works on images already in your media library No external API, no credits, no subscription required Full editorial control: you write and validate every ALT text If you want full visibility and control over your ALT text quality at scale, Filikod is exactly that.
