Phoenix Media Rename

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.

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

Go to the Phoenix Media Rename settings page and unckeck “Update Revisions” option, this will prevent revions update.
Please 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.

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.

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!
Please note: the bulk action are only available in List View, switch from Grid View to List View if needed.

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

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.
The function do_rename is a static method wrapped inside the Phoenix_Media_Rename class: call it using Phoenix_Media_Rename::do_rename

Yes, it uses up to four technical cookies to store informations during the rename process, the cookies are Strict, so they can be accessed only by the same domain and expires after 60 minutes
These are the cookies and their purpose:
– phoenix_media_rename_current_image_index, stores current image index during bulk rename operations
– phoenix_media_rename_bulk_rename_in_progress, store bulk rename status
– phoenix_media_rename_bulk_rename_from_post_in_progress, store bulk rename status for “rename from post” operation
– phoenix_media_rename_bulk_rename_bulk_filename_header, store bulk rename constant filename part

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:

/** * my_callback * * @param [string] $old_filename * @param [string] $new_filename */ function my_callback( $old_filename, $new_filename ) {     // your code }  add_action( 'pmr_renaming_successful', 'my_callback', 10, 2 );
