Before renaming

What should I consider before renaming?

Renaming files in WordPress can affect existing image references and links. Before renaming media we recommend:

✅ Make a backup: Create a backup of your site before renaming many files at once.

✅ Start individually: Test renaming with neoRename on individual files first.

🛠️ Clear plugin cache: If problems occur after renaming, clearing the plugin cache can help, as old image references may still be stored. See more at https://elementor.com/blog/how-to-clear-cache-for-one-website/.

🛠️ Clear browser cache: If wrong or old images still appear, clearing the browser cache can update outdated references.

Download with Safari

Why is only a folder shown when downloading?

If you use Safari, your Mac may automatically unzip the ZIP file. Instead of the ZIP file you then only get the unzipped folder. You cannot upload this folder directly to WordPress.

Solution: Open Safari settings and disable the option ”Open safe files after downloading”. After that the ZIP file will remain as you need it.

Detailed instructions are shown in the video titled ”How to disable Safari auto extract for ZIP files when downloading WordPress plugins” on YouTube.
