Plugin Description
This plugin automatically converts language accent characters in filenames when uploading to the media library. Characters are converted into browser and server friendly, non-accent characters.
Features
- Converts accent characters to non-accent, latin equivalents in Swedish, Danish, German, and more.
- Removes special characters like exclamation marks, periods, hashtags, and more.
- Lets you choose if you want to convert only image files, or all file types.
- Makes site and server migrations easier thanks to non-accent character filenames.
- Provides filter hook for developers who want to specify which file types to convert.
Examples
- Räksmörgås.jpg → raksmorgas.jpg
- Æblegrød_FTW!.gif → aeblegrod-ftw.gif
- Château de Ferrières.png → chateau-de-ferrieres.png
Worth noting
The plugin only converts filenames when the files are being uploaded. It can not convert existing files.
Filter for developers
This filter provides developers a way to specify which file types the plugin should convert. This filter overrides the plugin settings on the media settings page. For a complete list of mime types, see Wikipedia.
The following example will convert PDF, JPEG and PNG files only:
function my_clean_image_filenames_mime_types() {
$mime_types = array(
'application/pdf',
'image/jpeg',
'image/png',
);
return $mime_types;
}
add_filter( 'clean_image_filenames_mime_types', 'my_clean_image_filenames_mime_types' );
Screenshots
Easily choose between cleaning the filenames of all file types or images only.
