    Hi there,

    Your plugin looks very handy, thanks for this! But I have a problem running it:

    Somehow, the preg_replace doesn’t work on my server with special characters. I tested to replcae something other with your function, like “foo-bar.jpg” to “bar-foo.jpg”, and this worked just fine. If there is something else like e.g. “à” or “ü” in there, the function does not fire.

    Is there maybe a function I have to turn on in PHP to make this work?

    Thanks for your help.

    preg_replace() should work on PHP 4 and PHP 5 and it is pretty popular function and should work by default on every hosting.

    • What browser are you using?
    • What OS are you using?
    • What PHP version are you using?
    • What WordPress version are you using?
    • Does “Filenames to latin” work when other plugins are disabled?

    Hi webvitaly,

    wow, thanks for the fast reply! Yes, preg_replace works just fine on my system. As I said, I managed to replace anything else except the special characters…

    Here are my details:

      Browser: Firefox
      OS: Mac OSX Lion
      PHP 5
      Wordpress 3.6
      The plugin also doesn’t work if all other plugins are disabled.

    My best guess is that there is something on my shared hosters side that prevents your function from working correctly. Maybe the filename gets confused on the server side. I will keep you updated.

    The problem is not on your hosting.
    The problem is with Firefox on MacOS. Other users have the same problem too.

    Firefox on Windows does not have this bug.

    I submitted this as a bug to bugzilla year ago but it was not fixed yet.

    I recommend you to install Chrome or Safari for avoiding this problem in future.
