Non user facing:

  • Fixes an unreleased bug where image alt text assessments read protected HTML entities such as #nbsp; in the alt text of images in the content, instead of the characters they stand for. #23742

  • Fixes two integration tests that failed because they hardcoded the WordPress uploads URL. #23767
