Renaming files in WordPress can affect existing image references and links. **Before
renaming media we recommend:**

of your site before renaming many files at once.

**✅ Start with single files:** Test renaming with [neoRename](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-rename/)
on individual files first.

**🛠️ Clear plugin cache:** If issues occur after renaming, clearing the plugin cache
may help as old image references might still be stored there. See how to [clear cache](https://elementor.com/blog/how-to-clear-cache-for-one-website/).

**🛠️ Clear browser cache:** If wrong or old images still appear, clearing the [browser cache](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/storage/cache)
can update stale references.

**🔙 Use the undo function:** With one click you can revert changes in [neoRename](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-rename/#content)
if something’s not right.

an **undo function** that restores previous filenames, titles and slugs after renaming.

### WooCommerce?

**Is neoRename compatible with WooCommerce?**

**Yes**, [neoRename](https://neo-wp.com/plugin/neo-rename/) works smoothly with 
[WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/) and detects all image and media references
in **product pages**, **galleries** and **descriptions**.

### Download with Safari

**Why is only a folder shown when downloading?**

**If you use Safari** your Mac may automatically unzip the ZIP file. Instead of 
the ZIP file you then only get the unzipped folder. You can’t upload this directly
to WordPress.

Solution: Open **Safari settings** and disable the option **”Open safe files after
downloading”**. After that the ZIP file remains as you need it.

Exact details are shown in the video titled ”How to disable Safari auto extract 
for ZIP files when downloading WordPress plugins” on YouTube.

### More questions

With renaming plugins I care that image references are updated properly everywhere,
even when they are hidden deep in the database.What can I say? The plugin works 
reliably and thoroughly. Image titles, filenames and slugs were reliably replaced
everywhere. Whether in post content inside PHP arrays, in an ACF field or in custom
JS code. The plugin caught everything.I especially like that the plugin shows me
in the library where the image is used before renaming. Overall I am very satisfied
with neo Rename. It is lean, does exactly what it should and is thought through 
down to the last detail.

The plugin runs exactly as it should. It’s great that bulk processing is also free
of charge. The UI makes it easy to work quickly. Overall, it gives a very high-quality
impression.

### 󠀁[great product](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-product-1225/)󠁿

 [jonasbillstein](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jonasbillstein/) May 19, 2026

The Plugin neo Rename makes a very good impression and is pleasantly intuitive to
use. The interface is modern, clear, and immediately easy to understand. You quickly
find what you need and can adjust the filename, title, and URL directly in the media
library. I especially like that the rename dialog opens quickly and the whole workflow
feels smooth. The preview of the changes gives additional confidence before applying
anything. Even when working with multiple images, the interface remains clear and
easy to use. Overall, neo Rename is a very well thought out plugin that works reliably.
A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to rename their media in WordPress quickly
and cleanly.
