    We have a problem whereby our SEO tool says that the filenames generated by this plugin have _ rather than -. hyphens are SEO preferred.

    How easy is it to change the added “thumbs_” filename to the plugin please?

    Thanks

    Hi @simon_a6

    It’s not currently easily done; you’ll need to:
    1. First delete all of your existing images; this will break displaying existing images.
    2. Edit nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/package.module.nextgen_data.php and change line 2120 from this:

    $image_path = path_join($image_path, "{$prefix}_{$image->filename}");

    To this:

    $image_path = path_join($image_path, "{$prefix}-{$image->filename}");

    3. Upload your images again.

    I’ve tested this a little and it doesn’t seem to break anything as long you don’t have any preexisting images, but I can’t make any guarantees.

    Since it appears that this may actually affect SEO performance I will be adding this as an option to a future NextGEN release. We will likely be releasing 3.18 next week which will not include this, but 3.19 will.

    Thanks. I’ll wait til you have made the change.
    Pity you cannot make the change live for next week, but I suspect there are processes you have to go through.

    But appreciate the understanding of the reasoning.

    nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/package.module.nextgen_data.php
    There is no php file under ‘Modules’, only further folders.

    My mistake, I meant to write:

    nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_data/package.module.nextgen_data.php
