signs in file names

  • When importing images I noticed that wordpress has an issue with images with a + sign in their names. I fixed this by adding the following lines to your plugins php file:
    Below line 181 ($new_img = external_image_sideload( $imgs[$i] , $post_id );):
    $new_img = str_replace(“+”, “plus”, $new_img);
    Below line 220 ($file_array[‘name’] = basename($matches[0]);):
    $file_array[‘name’] = str_replace(“+”, “plus”, $file_array[‘name’]);

  • I think the problem is better solved by decoding the URL.

    Replace:

    preg_match('/[^\?]+\.(jpg|JPG|jpe|JPE|jpeg|JPEG|gif|GIF|png|PNG)/', $file, $matches);

    With:

    preg_match('/[^\?]+\.(jpg|JPG|jpe|JPE|jpeg|JPEG|gif|GIF|png|PNG)/', urldecode($file), $matches);

    Thanks for the tips! Will look into it. Gotta love when filenames have strange characters in there! ??
