## Description

OrbitStem Media Rename helps you rename files in the WordPress Media Library without
breaking your site.

Before you rename, you see an impact report showing where the file is used. After
you rename, the plugin can update old file URLs across posts, custom fields, widgets,
and site options — including data stored by page builders and block editors.

**Features**

 * Stem Rename panel in the Media Library and attachment edit screen
 * Impact report with usage locations and risk level
 * File tree preview (main file, thumbnails, WebP/AVIF siblings)
 * SEO filename score with tips as you type
 * Site-wide URL replacement in posts, post meta, options, term meta, and user meta
 * Support for JSON-escaped, serialized, and HTML-encoded URLs
 * Post-rename verification scan
 * One-click rollback of the last rename
 * Quick-fill suggestions from title, alt text, or parent post

**Privacy**

This plugin does not contact external servers, track users, or collect personal 
data. All processing runs on your WordPress site.

**Permissions**

By default, only users with the `manage_options` capability can rename files. Use
the `orbitstem_rename_capability` filter to change this.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `orbitstem-media-rename` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. Open **Media  Library**, select a file, and use the **Stem Rename** panel

## FAQ

### Who can rename media files?

Administrators by default. Developers can change the required capability with the`
orbitstem_rename_capability` filter.

### Will renaming update URLs on my pages?

Yes, when **Update URLs everywhere on this site** is checked. The plugin searches
posts, custom fields, and options for old file URLs and replaces them.

### Can I undo a rename?

Yes. Use **Undo last rename** on the same attachment to restore the previous filename
and optionally reverse URL updates.

### Does this work with page builders?

Yes. URL updates run across all post meta and serialized or JSON-encoded builder
data, not just post content.
