  Hello, this is the site I’m working on:

  Foreign Brief | Geopolitical analysis

  I need to copy the captions for all my images to their alt text section, I found this solution: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/123278/copy-attachment-title-to-description-and-alt-text/123300#123300

  but I have no idea where to how to use this query loop, or how to query the database, my understanding of WP is pretty basic

  I’m afraid to attempt this, I do have a solid backup system, but restoring would time
