Rename feed file name (vol.2)

    Somehow our web host forces lower case file names. One of the consequences being that feed download links never work as the file name in the link is in mixed case.

    Searching the forum I found this thread
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/rename-feed-file-name/
    where someone wanted to rename the feed file.

    In it, you instructed the user to search for meta_keys adt_file_name & adt_legacy_project_hash in the postmeta table. I did so, found the string used in feed file name and changed two occurrences to lowercase. This however, did nothing to change the download link, nor does the change stick. The meta_key values are reverted back to original once the feed is refreshed.

    Performing a global search the string is also found in two records of the options table (cron_projects and batch_project_[string]). They seem to contain serialized data with each option_value containing the string three times. If I were to change each occurrence to lowercase (three times in two option_values and once in option_name), would this do the trick or will I just end up breaking something?

    Hi @apeteri ,

    I can’t say for certain on that part but it could work. In my case simply changing the meta_keys adt_file_name & adt_legacy_project_hash allows you to rename the feed.

    You could also reach out to your hosting provider’s support team if anything can be done with their database naming convention.

    I asked hosting company to run search replace command on sql. other options didn’t work for me.

    I still don’t get why plugin create file name with capitals.
