Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Kodlo Media Manager

To protect your website's performance and security from the moment you activate the plugin, we apply pre-configured, battle-tested default rules. These settings are strictly based on web performance and SEO best practices recommended by Google PageSpeed Insights, web.dev, and WordPress VIP guidelines: * Next-Gen Formats: We block legacy formats (JPG/PNG) by default to enforce next-gen formats (WebP/AVIF), complying with Lighthouse's "Serve images in next-gen formats" audit. * Optimal File Sizes: We limit WebP/AVIF images to 250 KB (matching web.dev's recommendation to keep hero banners under 250–300 KB and standard content images under 100 KB) and limit web fonts (WOFF2) to 150 KB. * Resolution Caps: Image dimensions are capped at 2560px (2K resolution) to prevent oversized uploads from exhausting server memory during resizing. * Security Safeguards: SVG uploads are limited to 50 KB and sanitized to block malicious scripts. These defaults ensure your website passes Core Web Vitals audits out-of-the-box, but you can customize or override them at any time in Settings -> Media.

Yes! Navigating to Settings -> Media, find the rule for jpg or png and change the policy from "Blocked (Globally)" to "Allowed (Globally)" or "Allowed (Media Library Only)".

When you upload an .svg file, the plugin parses it on the server using DOMDocument. It inspects all elements, attributes, and styles, stripping dangerous scripts (XSS) and blocking external entities (XXE) before saving the file to your server.

Setting the maximum size of a format to 0 (or leaving it blank) disables the size limit verification for that specific file format.

Absolutely. The plugin lets you enter any standard regular expression to enforce naming conventions (e.g., lowercase letters, hyphens, and numbers only). If a filename doesn't match, it can be automatically sanitized or blocked.

It queries the WordPress database (_wp_attached_file post metadata) before a file is uploaded. If a match is found, it alerts the user and blocks the upload. This prevents media library clutter and saves hosting storage. You can enable or disable this feature anytime in the Settings.

WordPress automatically scales down very large images (exceeding 2560px). Kodlo Media Manager dynamically overrides this threshold according to the custom resolution limits you set for that image format, preventing scaling conflicts and ensuring uploads process seamlessly.

When enabled, if a user uploads a file with Cyrillic characters, accents, or spaces, the plugin automatically transliterates non-Latin characters, removes accents, replaces spaces with hyphens/underscores, and formats the filename to match your regex pattern without rejecting the upload.

For security reasons, dangerous file extensions (such as .php, .html, .js, .exe, .htaccess) are blacklisted. Even if you try to add them to the rules table, the settings sanitizer will automatically reject them to keep your site safe from execution vulnerabilities.

No. Kodlo Media Manager is extremely lightweight. It uses native WordPress hooks and Settings APIs without adding bloat, external stylesheets, or advertisements. All validation checks run on the server side only during media uploads, meaning there is zero impact on your front-end performance.
