Seo File Names aims to save you time and boost your SEO by automatically renaming the files you upload to the media library with SEO friendly names.

== Description ==

**Goal of Seo File Names**

* Seo File Names aims to save you time and boost your SEO by automatically renaming the files you upload to the media library with SEO friendly names.

* This is often overlooked by website authors whereas search engines also rely on file names to understand and index them.

* It also happens to me very often that clients ask me to upload many images and documents to their website. This plugin has saved me a lot of time by removing the automatic renaming software step (and license fees) before importing the files.

**How does Seo File Names works?**

* When you upload a file to the media library, Seo File Names gathers datas from the post, page or term you are currently editing: *title, slug, category, tag or taxonomy, type, dates, author...*

* ...plus the global site datas: *site name and site description*, useful to reinforce your brand.

* With this datas, you build the file names using the predefined tags.

* You can insert arbitrary text between each tag.

* The arbitrary text can only contain the characters [a-z], [0-9], space and '-'.

* Special characters, accented characters and capital letters will be filtered out.

* Each part of the file name will be separated from the others by dashes if they are not.

== FAQ ==

= First Time Using =

**By default Seo File Names is paused.**

* Go to Seo File Names settings page in Settings > Seo File Names

* Select your users, set your file naming scheme, disable pause and save.

* If no scheme is defined, the default file naming scheme used to rewrite your filenames is {site name}-{site description}-{original filename}.

= Settings =

* You can pause Seo File Names anytime by going to Settings > Seo File Names and enabling pause option. It is much better than disabling it.

* You can of course update your file naming scheme whenever you like. Remember to use it according to your batch sessions.

= What is the best way to use Seo File Names =

* Seo File Names works best when adding files to the media library while editing articles, pages or terms, as it uses the datas being edited.

* If you upload files directly from the media library page, generic tags are processed (site name, site description, original file name), others are ignored.
