Filerobot

Description

With Filerobot you can enrich your images and video libraries by integrating our widget into your WordPress back office and uploading new visuals. You can then store them in our multi-tenant, searchable repository for increased flexibility and smoother collaboration.

You can edit and collaborate directly within Filerobot, as you modify or create new versions of your visuals within seconds. Work closely with your teams, manage different levels of access and easily share resources through customizable brand portals.

How does it work?

As you work on a block of content directly within the WordPress editor, you’ll choose the “add an image” option as you normally would. The media picker from Filerobot will then be opened, as the single source of all your visuals, you may then pick one or several visuals that will load in the editor and be rendered in the page content once the article has been published.

Admins may easily migrate all WordPress library visuals to Filerobot when activating the plugin, to use it as a centralized repository for all visual content. Using the Filerobot plugin as your single source of truth for all your visuals allows for better performance for your internal content managers, as they’ll lead to faster loading times and upload to WordPress, as well as automatic data sync and metadata updates. You may also enable advanced user permissions and facilitate login with SSO. Filerobot offers a premium backup procedure of up to 30 days in case of accidental deletion of a file.

FAQ

Question 1: Why are my images not going through Filerobot?

If your images aren’t processing through Filerobot, check if you have cache services like W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, or others. If this is the case, you will need to reload the cache to enable the transformation of your URL.

If however the problem persists, please contact us directly at: hello@scaleflex.com

Question 2: How much does Filerobot cost?

Filerobot is a SaaS that doesn’t offer a free tier for the time being. Depending on your needs, one of our representatives can present the best match for you in terms of plan and options included. You can request your quote here.

Question 3: Will my original images be affected?

Filerobot automatically downloads your images and modifies the links in the WordPress database to call upon your Filerobot container. The original images are thus kept on your WordPress server, and then synchronized and uploaded in your Filerobot container.

You can use the integrated Filerobot Image Editor to then modify your images and create additional versions. These modifications will show only in your Filerobot container, and the original image will not be modified.

Question 4: What happens if I deactivate Filerobot WP plugin?

If you were to deactivate the Filerobot WP plugin, your website will revert to the condition it was in prior to the activation of the Filerobot WP plugin. We do not apply any permanent changes to your WordPress.

However, be mindful that any meta added to your pages after the activation of Filerobot will NOT be available after deactivation, which is why we strongly suggest to backup your WordPress before proceeding to the deactivation.
