File Media Renamer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plugin solves a major problem for many WordPress users. Conceptually, it is exactly what I was looking for. However, it will need more testing to find out if it is compatible with all the themes, plugins and pagebuilders I use.

   This saved the day! Phoenix Media Rename completely crashed my site on several occasions due to it using up all my shared allowance with just a few moments of work. Which further resulted in many broken images that destroyed my website and social media presence. I was about to give up hope when I stumbled across this gem. Within a day, I had renamed nearly 25k images and was able to repair much of the damage done by the other program. This was a life saver. Wish I had found it first. Read the instructions carefully to avoid issues with images linked on other sources. Since my website was already destroyed by the other plugin, I went ahead and renamed without abandon. If I had a huge social media presence, I would be wary of renaming file names.
