Hi,
First thank you for this amazing plugin.
On a recent update I have started noticing that in 2 of my websites I get an “Bad gateway (Error code 502)” when trying to open the Media Library page (Media > Library) (/wp-admin/upload.php).
When I deactivate the “Phoenix Media Rename” plugin, the Media Library works normally as expected.
I tried to check the logs (have both define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); and define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); activated in my wp-config.php file) but I don’t see anything that could help me investigating this issue.
Kind regards
I have used your plugin on many websites. I just downloaded Version 3.12.5 onto a live site. I cannot activate the plugin.
So, to troubleshoot: I created a brand new WordPress install with no other plugins, downloaded Version 3.12.5 and cannot activate it on that site either. Latest WordPress core, brand new WordPress install, no other plugins, no themes. I tried to activate on install, tried to activate from the Plugins page – no go.
Any suggestions?
PS – Cannot delete the plugin via admin either. I have to delete it by deleting the plugin folder in the file system.
Hi, I have 2 separate issues:
- In the Edit Media section with Rank Math activated, when i try and change an image file name the update wheel keeps turning indefinitely with no change to file name. With Rank Math deactivated the issue is resolved and the image file name is changed.
- In the Media Library with Rank Math deactivated, when i try and change an image file name, whether it is a single file or in bulk no changes happen after clicking check box next to file and clicking update
I have deactivated all other plugins and changed theme and issue is between Rank Math and Phoenix
TIA

A file with that name already exists in the containing folder!
This seems to appear on quite a few files and I have serialisation, etc. added, including header text

]]>HI getting to following error when trying to rename a media file
file name or extension is missingFile renaming error! Tried to delete /home/customer/www/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/.
]]>I am finding that Phoenix Media Rename fails to rename files following a site migration between hosts. As part of the migration the full path to muy hosting account home folder has changed.
From: /home/myname/public_html/wp-content/uploads/….
To: /var/www/vhosts/myhost.com/public_html/wp-content/uploads/…
Everything resolves fine in Apache, so all files are still served up fine. But when I try to rename an image I get the error:
“Can’t find original file in the folder. Tried to rename /home/myname/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/myimage.png”
Do you have any suggestions? WIll this require a DB update to patch up the paths?
Thanks,

]]>Hi,
It looks like the JetEngine image field URL’s not updating when I used the “Rename and Retitle from post” function.
All thumbnails disappears in the backend and same happened with the images on the frontend as well.
I did a test with a clean/fresh WordPress, with no other plugins (jetengine only) and it did the same.
I hope it makes sense.
Thank you
]]>Hello,
When i try to rename an image / multiple images I can see only the spinner behindd filename and on page refresh only first image renamed/retitled.
Hi, when I change image filename, the plugin also changes last modified date of all those articles that have embedded that image. Why is this happening? Moreover, some of the articles are also updating even they don’t have that image of which I am changing name. And I am sure it is due to this plugin. When I was changing names, I checked sitemap and during same time, dates were also changing. When I stopped working during the night, there was no date change for any post.
]]>I asked the following question on another forum, but that is, because with a migration of a site is possible a number of the plugins is not compatible. For this reason my question is: is this plugin compatible with wordpress multi-site?
]]>Hi,
Thanks for this very useful plugin.
When I try to rename multiple files as described here all I see is spinners behind all selected files. They keep spinning forever, but no matter how long I wait, only the first selected file is renamed.
I looked for plugin conflicts but so far have found none.
What could be going wrong here?
]]>Is the redirection plugin (shown on the Phoenix Media Rename Settings page) required when renaming images?
I installed this plugin and renamed 1 image as a test. The page using that 1 image shows a missing image. Source code still shows the img link to the old image name and not the new image name. Dump/flushed sever cache and tried many different browsers.
Rank Math SEO plugin sees this image name change as a 404.
Hi All, I have just started using the plugin and tried it on a test page and image but have run into an issue.
Images on the site display in webp format so although the plugin appears to change the uploaded image filename it doesnt seem to make any changes to the page hosting the image.
For example I uploaded an image IMG-20210905-WA0013.jpeg which when uploaded has a url of https://walkers-garage.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20…20210905-WA0013.jpeg once added to a page the link is automatically amended to https://walkers-garage.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20…20210905-WA0013.jpeg.pagespeed.ic.X07DgscvOq.webp in order to display the generated webp version. When the image filename is changed via the plugin it doesn’t seem to make any change to the link on the page.
Does this mean that the plugin cannot be used where webp images are utilised or is there a workaround/setting change to overcome the issue?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi! We have a lot of users asking for the ability to rename files based on the alt text that we generated with our plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/alttext-ai/). It seems like it might be an easy integration for you since we already have a hook action that is triggered when we generate alt text for an image attachment: https://alttext.ai/docs/developers/wordpress/#alt-text-generated-notification
Would you consider adding support for AltText.ai, and renaming the uploaded file with the generated alt text? Thanks!
]]>Hi guys. This is an amazing plugin. I was just wondering, is there any way to rename / retitle the image file directly from the post window without having to go back to the media library? I had a look but it only allows alternative text and caption changes in the post itself. (I am using classic editor)
Thanks!
]]>Hi all,
Hope you can help me out with this question about renaming files with the Phoenix plugin. I’ve a WordPress site using Divi theme. I’ve changed the filename of my images (for SEO and findability- I’ve also added alternative text) via the library after installing the Phoenix Plugin. In the backend I can see the filename has changed and also the file url. The permalink doesn’t change and sticks with the original filename. When I go to the frontsite and hover the image I still see the old filename. When I enable the Divi builder and go to the image > advanced > attributes I see the alternative text field is empty and the image title is still the old one. So it looks like changes I make in the back do not affect the frontend. Anyone any idea what goes wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance!! Tessa

Thanks for this plugin! I use Phoenix_Media_Rename::do_rename() in my code when add post. Everything worked fast on the old version of WP, after update WP the post is added in 20-40 seconds.
If i disable Phoenix class in my code all work fast again. What could be the problem? php 8.0
]]>Hello,
I have just started using phoenix and I am already using rank math. When rank math is active the filename line does not show, so for it to show and to be able to change the name I have to turned off the rank math. I have not started using phoenix yet as I am worried about what happens after turning on rank math again, and about redirection.
Any suggestion or a recommendation?
]]>Just a heads up that I am getting this error in today’s update for phoenix-media-rename. Thanks for the great plugin!

]]>I just started using this plugin. I renamed a whole bunch of files and within WP, it looks like the file names have been changed but when I independently check the files on the host server they all seem to have the original names. Is this a compatibility issue?
]]>Hello,
I’ve found a bug in the plugin related to file names.
For example, if a file contains Cyrillic characters, they will be ignored.
For instance:"вал?за.jpg" => ".jpg" (This leads to the error "file name or extension is missing" because in this case, the function cannot find the name in the string.)
"чорна-вал?за.jpg" => "-вал?за.jpg" (When you try to change the file name and save the new name, you get the error "The media containing directory is not writable!" because the plugin cannot find a file with such a name, probably because it doesn't exist.)
"black-вал?за.jpg" => "black-вал?за.jpg" (In this case, the plugin works correctly.)
The reason for this issue is the PHP function “basename.” The problem arises because it depends on “setlocale,” and if the “locale” is not explicitly defined on the server, it will work incorrectly.
As far as I can see, the “basename” function is only used in the “classes/class-lib.php” file in your plugin’s code.
The simplest way to fix the bug is to add this method:
public static function basename_safe($path) {
$path = rtrim($path, '/');
$path = explode('/', $path);
return end($path);
}
And then replace basename() with self::basename_safe().
If possible, please apply this change to the plugin and upload a new version of it.
]]>Hi, I’m not so sure it works on WordPress Multisite, does it? I updated 3-4 images and the disappeared. Can you give me some feedback, what I’m doing wrong?
]]>Hello, will this plugin change the names of the files in the database?
For example, the image currently is: “caion-coru?a-galicia.jpeg”
can I change it to “caion-coruna-galicia.jpeg”?
I use Divi for WordPress.
Yesterday I successfully installed the Phoenix plugin and updated, one by one, about 25 image filenames in my WordPress media, which are already in use on my webpages.
Though I cleared the cache several times, when now hovering over the images, I still see the old filenames! Shouldn’t I see the new filenames now? Does that mean, the images were just duplicated?
In my media library everything looks ok. I see the updated filenames created in correct format with hyphens, and I don’t see duplication of images.
Any advice?
]]>This plugin uses str_contains() which is provided only on PHP v8 or up. Somewhere in this plugin, we need this snippet:
if (!function_exists(‘str_contains’)) {
function str_contains (string $haystack, string $needle)
{
return empty($needle) || strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false;
}
}
This fixes these 2 issues:
- the task spinner won’t stop.
- it can’t bulk rename
