Make Filename Lowercase

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 · 100% 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.

   It’s perfect, but I recommend downloading the plugin and just grabbing the few lines of actual code and adding that to functions.php. I’m glad it is a plugin, though, because this was certainly the easiest way of finding the needed code!

   Does one job, and does it well. In my case I needed to rename images to lowercase to ensure they had unique names regardless of case. UNIX servers allow ‘MIxEdCasE.jpg’ and ‘mixedcase.jpg’, but then backing up to a windows machine creates problems with them overwriting. This plugin solves that problem, so thanks.
