    Hi Jordy,

    First of all, GREAT plugin, loving the Pro version and the options it offers.

    I’m looking to further customize the automation of the file renaming, I couldn’t find anything similar in the FAQ section.

    The way the site works is the following:
    1. Users register to become Members and submit posts with image(s) attachments (stored in the native WP Uploads folder).
    2. Posts are pending review and activated manually by the Admin
    3. Admin validates the post submission and renames the media files if need be, this is where the MFR plugin comes in handy
    4. Admin activates the post after manual intervention and validation

    What I am trying to do is:

    Option 1
    Auto rename uploaded files based on custom meta

    I’m looking for a function that can automatically rename the uploaded files based on custom terms, example:
    Domain name – Author – custom post category – custom post title – date

    End result: domain_name-author-custom_post_category-post_title-date.jpg

    or

    Option 2
    Auto prepend word(s) into the beginning of the uploaded image file names

    Something as simple as automatically adding 1 or 2 words at the beginning of the uploaded files through a custom filter in the theme’s functions.php file to obtain the following output:

    word1-word2-original-filename.jpg

    Hi,

    In fact, there is an explanation on how to do this in the FAQ 🙂 Of course, that’s the FAQ you should be looking at https://meowapps.com/media-file-renamer-faq-issues/.

    The first section is “Customize the filenames”. Of course, You will need to code it by yourself, to your exact needs. A developer who knows a minimum of PHP will be able to do this easily for you. You can really rename the files exactly the way you want 🙂

    By the way, sorry for all those late replies. You probably got a lot of answers meanwhile. I have been busy with the Pro support lately, so only coming here every once in a while (I try to visit those forums twice a week, for 4 hours in total).

    No problem Jordy, I appreciate your help and support, I am a Pro user by the way, I’ll stick to the email correspondance to avoid duplicate efforts.
