 * Like many others I suddenly weren’t able to upload image files to my website.
   I used hours trying all the suggestions, I found on the web without result. I
   then found a simple reason for my problem. I live in Denmark, and we have our
   own alphabet. The files, I couldn’t uploade, had Danish characters in them, when
   I switched them, I could upload images again.
 * I just want to tell this to others, who are using national characters in their
   filenames.

 * You might be interested in the article [Rename and clean WordPress media filenames](https://wpartisan.me/tutorials/rename-clean-wordpress-media-filenames).
   There’s also a link in the article to a plugin which will do the job for you.
 * You might also, if you’re not already, be interested in using the Danish version
   of WordPress. You can get a copy here: [WordPress in Danish](https://da.wordpress.org/).
 * Cheers,

 * Thank you Rob. It’s OK for me to use the English version, but I could consider
   the Danish.
