Description
AWT Media Manager Suite lets you rename any media file and change its URL slug right from the WordPress media library – no FTP, no manual database edits, no broken links.
Open any media item, type in a new name, hit Save Changes, and the plugin handles everything automatically:
- The file is renamed on the server using the WordPress Filesystem API.
- All image sizes (thumbnail, medium, large, etc.) are renamed to match.
- Every post, page, widget, page builder block, and option that references that file is updated instantly.
- The URL slug can be changed independently from the filename.
Your pages, posts, and widgets keep working exactly as before – nothing breaks.
Key Features
- File Rename – Give any media file a clean, meaningful name without touching FTP or your hosting panel.
- Slug Edit – Change the URL-friendly slug of any attachment independently from the filename.
- Nothing Breaks – Every link, image, and reference across posts, postmeta, and options is updated automatically.
- Thumbnails Included – All automatically generated image sizes are renamed together with the original.
- Works Everywhere – Rename from the media library grid popup, the media list edit page, or directly from the attachment edit screen.
- Safe & Secure – All actions are nonce-verified. Only users with the
upload_filescapability (Authors and above) can rename files. - Serialization-Safe – References stored in serialized postmeta and option values (page builders, widgets, theme mods) are handled correctly.
Installation
- Upload the
awt-media-manager-suitefolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Open any file in the Media Library – the Rename & Slug section appears in the attachment details panel.
FAQ
-
Where do I find the rename fields?
-
Go to your Media Library. In grid view, click any media item to open its details panel – you will see a Rename & Slug section with a Save Changes button. In list view, click Edit on any item to open the attachment edit page, where the same section appears.
-
Will renaming a file break my website?
-
No. The plugin scans and updates every post, page, postmeta row, and site option that contains a reference to the old file URL – so nothing breaks.
-
Does it rename the different image sizes too?
-
Yes. WordPress creates several sizes of every uploaded image (thumbnail, medium, large, etc.). All of those files are renamed at the same time as the original.
-
Who can rename files?
-
Any user with the
upload_filescapability can rename files. By default this includes Authors, Editors, and Administrators. -
Does it work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?
-
Yes. The plugin updates image references stored in serialized postmeta and option values used by page builders, widgets, and theme mods – not just standard post content.
-
Can I change the filename and the URL slug to different values?
-
Yes. The filename and slug fields are completely independent – you can change one, the other, or both at the same time.
-
Does the plugin leave any data behind when uninstalled?
-
No. The plugin stores no custom database tables or options of its own, so uninstalling it leaves your database exactly as it was.
