    Is it possible to just pull the image alt description specified in the WP Media library?

    Right now I have a separate attribute for the alt description, but it makes creating galleries (for example) a much longer process because the user has to keep adding those details in for every image instead of just using what is already specified in the media library.

    Do you have an example of this that I can look at? I'm not sure I understand, but if you have an article, video, or an example I can look at I'm sure it would make sense to me then.

    Here's one widget I created, but pretty much anywhere that an image is used, for SEO-purposes, an ALT description should be provided. By default, most users input an alt description for images in the WordPress media library using the native WP fields. 

    The way I see it, the functionality should be:

    1. Anytime an image field is added in UE, there should be a checkbox that says "use default description".

    2. If someone wants fine-grain control over the alt description for a specific widget, then the checkbox can be unchecked, and a separate text field in the UE widget can be used by adding the appropriate markup.
