Greatly improve your SEO: rename your media files with the “Phoenix Media Rename” plugin.

A complete guide to use and configure Phoenix Media Rename is available at Phoenix Media Rename official page

\n","installation":"

Upload phoenix-media-rename folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
It is done! You can go to any media file single page and will notice the new field “Filename”. Bulk edit is also available at the “Media” listing page!

\n","faq":"\n

\nHow to rename files translated with WPML?\n\n

Make sure that the WPML Multilingual CMS and WPML Media Translation plugins are activated (you can find more information on WPML in the WPML official site).

Add one or more images to your media library, WPML Media Translation will add the localized version to your media library.

Go to WPML -> Media Translation and edit the localized version of your media files, you can change both the image title and the file attached to localized version.

Rename images using Phoenix Media Rename.

Go to your media library, select the rename operation, check all the files you want to rename, edit the filenames and confirm the bulk operation, Phoenix Media Rename and WPML will do all the rest!

Please look at the screenshoot section to see how the process works.

\nHow to serialize file names?\n\n

You can serialize file names enclosing the variable parts between { and }, this will cause Phoenix Media Rename to generate a sequence of filenames.

The variable part has to be an integer number, but can start with 0 (i.e. 0023).

Please note: check all the files you want to serialize and write the name for the first one, see screenshot-3.jpg for reference.

\nHow to avoid removing accents in file name?\n\n

Go to the Phoenix Media Rename settings page and unckeck “Remove accents” option, this will prevent accents sanitization.
\nPlease note: avoid accents sanitization can cause broken URL on some hosting.

\nHow to avoid processing revisions?\n\n

Go to the Phoenix Media Rename settings page and unckeck “Update Revisions” option, this will prevent revions update.
\nPlease note: avoid revision processing will speed up the rename process, but will cause broken media file link in you revert a post to an older version.

\nHow to rename a single media?\n\n

Go to the Media section of the admin panel and open a media of your choice. You will see a new field named “Filename” and your current filename in it. Change it to whatever you want the new name to be and hit the “Update” button.

\nHow to bulk rename medias?\n\n

Go to the Media section of the admin panel, select the “Rename” or “Rename & Retitle” bulk action (depending on if you want the media get retitled too) from the dropdown, check the medias you would like to rename and change their filenames using the “Filename” fields at the last column. When you are done, hit the “Apply” button and let the plugin do its magic!
\nPlease note: the bulk action are only available in List View, switch from Grid View to List View if needed.

\nHow to rename medias getting the filename from the title of the post they are attached to?\n\n

Go to the Media section of the admin panel, select the “Rename from Post” or “Rename & Retitle from Post” bulk action (depending on if you want the media get retitled too) from the dropdown, check the medias you would like to rename and hit the “Apply” button

\nCan I use the plugin to rename medias via code?\n\n

Sure, you can use the “do_rename” static function, located at the Phoenix_Media_Rename class. Prototype: do_rename($attachment_id, $new_filename, $retitle = 0, $title_from_post = 0, $name_from_post = 0, $check_post_parent = true ). On success the function returns 1, and on error – the error message.
\nThe function do_rename is a static method wrapped inside the Phoenix_Media_Rename class: call it using Phoenix_Media_Rename::do_rename

\nCan I integrate 3rd party plugins?\n\n

Sure, you can use the “pmr_renaming_successful” that fires when the rename process is complete and returns old and new filenames.

Feel free to ask for more custom actions!

Example:

/**\n* my_callback\n*\n* @param [string] $old_filename\n* @param [string] $new_filename\n*/\nfunction my_callback( $old_filename, $new_filename ) {\n    // your code\n}\n\nadd_action( 'pmr_renaming_successful', 'my_callback', 10, 2 );\n

\nDo you need more features?\n\n

If you would like more features, such as automatic renaming, or a dashboard for renaming files, have a look at the freemium plugin Media File Renamer. Yes, we are friends!
