Great Plugin Only Missing delete old files

20. Oktober 2017
Great Plugin Only Missing delete old files and thumbnails of old image. 1. It changes the name of the file itself (or creates a copy) 2. If it creates a copy it attaches it to the relevant post / post. Works fast using ajax. Thanks a lot to the author.

Does the job but not how you expect

It DOES rename the file but as other reviews have shown the plugin creates a copy naming the new one. Still leaving the original file with the old name on the server. While it does what it says it should just rename the existing file as I have to manually delete every old file.

Does not rename but creates a copy

This plug-in does NOT what its name indicates: It does not rename a media file, it simply creates a copy under a new name. This is not what you expect, and it has some disadvantages. First: You waste disk space. Second: You create a mess, because there are files in your server directory that do not show up in the WordPress Media Library. Third: If you decide to go back to the original filename this is not possible.
