What would be a best practice to apply within WordPress to use in the event that I would need to rename an image and have it automatically renamed every where else too (i.e. on all posts and pages that make reference to this image).
What should I do, what should I avoid doing, in order to complete this objective.
Thanks
I did the same thing few days back. I took the post slug as image name for SEO purpose. I created a function to create/move images to a particular folder depending on the slug and input image url.
Here is look of my function-
function tb_get_image($image_ext_url,$slug,$upload_folder="",$title=''){ $uri = WP_CONTENT_DIR."/uploads/".$upload_folder; $folder = WP_CONTENT_URL."/uploads/".$upload_folder; if(!file_exists($uri)){ $oldmask = umask(0); if(!mkdir ($uri, 0755)){ $uri = WP_CONTENT_DIR."/uploads/"; $folder = WP_CONTENT_URL."/uploads/"; } } $localimage = $uri.$slug.".jpg"; ## Use PHP_PATHINFO to get extension. $image = $folder.$slug.".jpg"; ## Use PHP_PATHINFO to get extension. .... More code to rename and move/copy the image... .... } Hope this guide is enough to get you in right direction.
