    Hi,

    I’m trying to install a hook to rename images and fill the alt field automatically based on Post Title.

    I found this code :

    function file_renamer( $filename ) {
        $info = pathinfo( $filename );
        $ext  = empty( $info['extension'] ) ? '' : '.' . $info['extension'];
        $name = basename( $filename, $ext );
    
        if( $post_id = array_key_exists("post_id", $_POST) ? $_POST["post_id"] : null) {
            if($post = get_post($post_id)) {
                return $post->post_title . $ext;
            }
        }
        
        $my_image_title = $post;
        
    
        $file['name'] = $my_image_title  . - uniqid() . $ext; // uniqid method
        // $file['name'] = md5($name) . $ext; // md5 method
        // $file['name'] = base64_encode($name) . $ext; // base64 method
    
        return $filename;
    
      }
    add_filter( 'sanitize_file_name', 'file_renamer', 10, 1 );
    
    /* Automatically set the image Title, Alt-Text, Caption & Description upon upload
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    add_action( 'add_attachment', 'my_set_image_meta_upon_image_upload' );
    function my_set_image_meta_upon_image_upload( $post_ID ) {
    
        // Check if uploaded file is an image, else do nothing
    
        if ( wp_attachment_is_image( $post_ID ) ) {
            
           // Get the parent post ID, if there is one
    
            if( isset($_REQUEST['post_id']) ) {
              $post_id = $_REQUEST['post_id'];
              } else {
              $post_id = false;
              }
    
                if ($post_id != false) {
            $my_image_title = get_the_title($post_id);
                } else {
            $my_image_title = get_post( $post_ID )->post_title;
                }
            // Sanitize the title:  remove hyphens, underscores & extra spaces:
            $my_image_title = preg_replace( '%\s*[-_\s]+\s*%', ' ',  $my_image_title );
    
            // Sanitize the title:  capitalize first letter of every word (other letters lower case):
            $my_image_title = ucwords( strtolower( $my_image_title ) );
    
            // Create an array with the image meta (Title, Caption, Description) to be updated
            // Note:  comment out the Excerpt/Caption or Content/Description lines if not needed
            $my_image_meta = array(
                'ID'        => $post_ID,            // Specify the image (ID) to be updated
                'post_title'    => $my_image_title,     // Set image Title to sanitized title
                'post_excerpt'  => $my_image_title,     // Set image Caption (Excerpt) to sanitized title
                'post_content'  => $my_image_title,     // Set image Description (Content) to sanitized title
            );
    
            // Set the image Alt-Text
            update_post_meta( $post_ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', $my_image_title );
    
            // Set the image meta (e.g. Title, Excerpt, Content)
            wp_update_post( $my_image_meta );
    
        } 
    }

    I installed it in my function.php and it’s half working.

    It’s just working on uploading images but not with existing image attached to post.

    I may be understood bad, but I thought this function would to both : rename on upload AND rename existing images.

    Do you think I miss something here ?

    Hi there,

    that filter function only runs on add attachment – you can try running the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin which ‘may’ update your existing images.

    Ok, that’s what I was thinking. But meanwhile, the code was working with first image I uploaded and then for no reason, it’s not renaming image with post title, it’s now just filling alt fields with original image title… can’t find out why.

    Sorry i misread the topic, so its saving the Post Title on add_attachment,… unfortunately thats beyond me and the scope of this forum. You might find stackexchange has some experts to answer that one.
