File Renaming on Upload Pro 1.3.2 – By WPFactory

File Renaming on Upload is the premium version of free File Renaming on Upload plugin with some extra features making it more awesome. The main purpose of this plugin is to fix problematic file uploads with accents or special characters. An essential plugin for non-english websites. Besides that, it can improve your SEO adding some relevant info to your filename, like your domain name or the post title your file is attached on. Besides the features that will be already bundled from the free plugin, check the available features on this premium version:

Edit filenames and permalinks manually

WordPress doesn’t allow to edit filenames and permalinks natively. With this feature you are no longer limited to that Once you enable “Change filename manually via dashboard” and “Change permalink manually via dashboard” options on plugin’s settings there will be displayed the following Metabox on media file page.

Update old media

Once this plugin is installed and enabled you aren’t going to have upload problems anymore with accents and special characters, but what if you or your client already have some buggy images uploaded before installing the plugin? Now you don’t need to worry anymore! All you have to do is select them on media library and choose update filename located on bulk actions.

Autofill ALT tag

After uploading images, their own filenames will be registered as the ALT attribute. In other words, if you upload an image called My Cat.jpg it will have its alt tag automatically filled like <img alt=”My Cat” />. This feature can improve your SEO, so try to create descriptive names to your images before uploading them.

Custom field rule

This is a new kind of rule. If you have a custom field on your post and upload an image, it will be renamed according to this custom field if you want. A practical example:

1. Create a rule {cf:_myfield}
2. Create a custom field called “_myfield” for some post
3. Fill this field as “Test”
4. If you upload an image to that post, the image will be renamed according to the field value, so it will be called test.jpg
