Opis
OrbitStem Media Rename helps you rename files in the WordPress Media Library without breaking your site — and automatically cleans up filenames the moment files are uploaded.
Before you rename, you see an impact report showing where the file is used. After you rename, the plugin updates old file URLs across posts, custom fields, widgets, and site options — including data stored by page builders and block editors.
Rename any file safely
- Stem Rename panel in the Media Library and attachment edit screen
- Impact report with usage locations and risk level

- SEO filename score with tips as you type
- Site-wide URL replacement in posts, post meta, options, term meta, and user meta

Auto-rename on upload (new)
Stop uploading files named IMG_4832.jpg or screenshot-3.png. Set rules once and every upload is cleaned automatically — before the file even touches disk.
