Tag: change filename | Markus Henriksson

Replace non-english and weird characters in file name on upload in WordPress by adding this to your functions.php.

add_filter( 'sanitize_file_name', 'extended_sanitize_file_name', 10, 2 );
function extended_sanitize_file_name( $filename ) {
	$sanitized_filename = remove_accents( $filename );
	return $sanitized_filename;
}

add_filter( 'sanitize_file_name', 'extended_sanitize_file_name', 10, 2 );

function extended_sanitize_file_name( $filename ) {

$sanitized_filename = remove_accents( $filename );

return $sanitized_filename;

}
