Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Healthy filenames

No. Only the files uploaded while the plugin is active are cleaned.

Every file that goes through the WordPress upload functions: media library, editor, REST API, imports from a URL.

No. The extension is left to WordPress, which validates it and converts it to lowercase.

They are converted to Latin characters when the PHP "intl" extension is available: "Привет.jpg" becomes "privet.jpg". Without it, or when the setting is unchecked, they are removed.

A name made only of special characters, such as "!!!.jpg", gets a fallback name: "unnamed-file.jpg". The fallback name can be changed in the settings.

Each upload accepted by WordPress is counted once: either as "cleaned" when its name had to be modified, or as "already clean". The settings page shows both counters and the share of uploads that needed cleaning. Image sizes generated from an upload are not counted.
