Not good with Cyrillic filenames!

Hello @alatena

Thanks for the feedback, I tested this and found this to be true. Here is the reason and solution.

Turns out, the PHP function basename used here is the cause.
Here is a related discussion – https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/278425

Here is the solution that worked for me and you will probably need your host’s help:

– Added setlocale(LC_ALL, 'C.UTF-8'); to wp-config.php and that was it.
– Ask your host for a list of available locale’s. Running the command locale -a in linux will do it.
– Here is the list I got – https://jmp.sh/GnqO0SP
– Try each of those and upload an image and see if that helps.
– In my case, only C.UTF-8 worked.

Please let me know how that goes. Best regards.

Thank you for your detailed answer. To be honest this is Greek to me, but I will contact my host for help.

You are welcome! Please let me know if there are any updates.

Hello @alatena

Did you hear back from your host? Any luck so far?

Thanks.

Thank you for your quick answer.

Regrettably this solution does not work with shared hosting, I need a VPS hosting (my host said do). But it is too expensive for my hobby. ??

Thank you again for trying to help.
