instead of upload just rename actual image file

    I migrated my blog and did a wordpress import of media. unfortunately I imported the same media import/export wordpress file twice. So I now have a lot of physical images named like
    image.jpg along with all the thumbnails associated with each one like
    image-150×150.jpg

    however wordpress saw the second image as duplicate so it changed the records in the database to increment the filenames.
    only registered the duplicate but there isn’t actually a file with the -1 on it.
    So the database has
    image-1.jpg and thumbnails in the meta information named like image-1-150×150.jpg

    I can manually scan the media in the wordpress admin and find the “broken” images. And manually edit the two database table for each image BUT there are thousands. I need to modify the url and the meta info to get rid of the -1 text in the file name and the meta information as well as correct the character lengths of the name of the image in the meta information.

    Can this plug in allow me to just edit the file name and have it correct the database tables?

    I mean wordpress saw the second import of the import/export file as duplicating the media information so it “incremented” the media file names. I need to clean that up.

    Hi @kayakbabe,

    Unfortunately this is out of the plugin’s scope. There’s no such functionality as just editing a file name and correct database tables; that’s a different issue.

    Let me know please if you have any additional questions.

    Best,
