Media Rename — OrbitStem

Changelog

1.7.0

  • Added Auto-rename on upload — rules engine that cleans filenames before any file is saved to disk.
  • Force lowercase, replace underscores/spaces with hyphens, strip junk prefixes (IMG_, DSC_, screenshot-), prepend parent post slug, and custom prefix — all configurable from Media → File Renamer.
  • Live preview on the settings page — see exactly what a filename will become before saving rules.
  • Gutenberg and block editor support for post slug detection — works via Classic Editor, media modal, REST API upload, and HTTP Referer fallback.
  • Multilingual filename handling — accented characters (French, German, Spanish, Cyrillic) are transliterated to ASCII automatically using remove_accents().

1.6.0

  • Added support for international filenames — French, Japanese, Chinese, and other languages.
  • Lowered minimum PHP requirement to 7.4.
  • Fixed media rename panel breaking on Windows after the first rename (path slash mismatch).
  • Store relative upload paths and auto-repair broken attachment meta when possible.

1.0.0

  • Initial release.
