Descrição
Stop fixing media titles by hand. Keep every upload clean and consistent.
SEO Media Manager turns attachment titles such as coastal_walk-uk-2026 into readable, consistently formatted text using rules you choose. Preview the result before saving, protect abbreviations such as UK and PDF, and choose whether to copy the result to alternative text, captions and descriptions.
The original media file is never renamed or modified.
Start with Free for future uploads
- Automatically format attachment titles when media is uploaded.
- Replace hyphens, underscores, periods, tildes and plus signs with spaces.
- Choose letter case and capitalisation.
- Keep selected whole-word abbreviations uppercase.
- Try an editable example filename in the live preview before saving your rules.
- Optionally copy the formatted result to alternative text, captions and descriptions.
Free starts with the attachment title assigned by WordPress. It does not batch-process existing library items.
Use Pro for the backlog already in your library
If your future uploads are tidy but years of existing media still need attention, SEO Media Manager Pro applies saved rules to a selection or the complete Media Library.
- Choose exactly which attachments to process, including file-type filters for images, SVG, PDF, documents, audio or video.
- Leave the settings screen while a saved background job continues, then return to its progress.
- Cancel further processing after the current worker finishes.
- Add original-filename and fixed-title sources for new uploads, extended cleanup and phrase removal, and parsing at capital letters or number groups.
- Receive Pro updates and priority email support.
Pro uses Action Scheduler in bounded groups of up to 20 attachments. Your server must run WordPress scheduled work. Back up the database and check a small sample before changing existing metadata; cancellation does not undo completed changes.

Choose the right text for each field
Tidying a title is not the same as writing a useful image description. Review whether your source text is suitable before copying it to alternative text or captions. Decorative images can need empty alternative text. The plugin does not guarantee search rankings or automatically rewrite image attributes already stored in post content.
Developer filters remain available for defaults, formatted titles and alternative text.

Perguntas frequentes
-
Does batch processing change the original media files?
-
No. It updates WordPress attachment metadata only. The stored file is not renamed or modified.
-
Can I process only selected attachments?
-
Yes, with Pro. Open the Batch processing tab, choose Custom selection, select the attachments, and start the background job.
-
Can I process only one kind of media?
-
Yes. The Pro batch screen can limit either the complete library or a custom selection to images, SVG, PDF, documents, audio, or video. The chosen filter is saved with the job.
-
Do I need to keep the settings screen open?
-
No. Action Scheduler processes the library in small background groups and saves progress between requests. You can leave the screen and return later. As with other WordPress scheduled tasks, a site with WP-Cron disabled needs a working server-side cron runner.
-
Will this update images already inserted into posts?
-
No. The plugin changes attachment metadata in the Media Library. Image attributes already saved in post content are not automatically synchronised, so review existing embedded images separately.
-
Will a batch preserve existing alternative text and captions?
-
Version 1.3.0 replaces the output fields you select; it does not have a fill-missing-only mode. Turn off copying to fields you want to keep, or exclude those attachments from the batch. Back up the database and test a small selection first.
-
What happens when I deactivate a Pro licence?
-
The plugin stays active and shows the Free interface. Your paid settings remain stored, but paid rules and batch processing are unavailable until a valid licence is activated again.
-
Will existing Format Media Titles settings be kept?
-
Yes. Version 1.3.0 imports the established
fmt_optionssettings and keeps a compatibility copy for a safe rollback. The WordPress.org slug remainsformat-media-titles, so existing sites continue to receive updates from the same listing. -
Are developer filters available?
-
Yes. The established seo_media_manager_defaults, seo_media_manager_title, and seo_media_manager_alt filters are preserved.

1.3.0
- Merge the former Free and Pro codebases into one SEO Media Manager source and Freemius product while keeping the
format-media-titlesWordPress.org slug and theseo-media-managerPro folder. - Add a compatibility loader that keeps existing Free installations active during the main-file transition and preserves their saved settings.
- Make an unlicensed Pro package fall back to the Free interface; activating or deactivating the licence now switches the available feature set without replacing the plugin.

- Add the redesigned four-step settings screen and editable live preview to Free.
- Add durable server-side background processing for large existing Media Libraries, powered by Action Scheduler.
- Save progress between 20-item groups so work can continue after the settings screen is closed or refreshed.
- Add a Pro file-type filter for images, SVG, PDF, documents, audio, and video.
- Add safe cancellation, duplicate-worker protection, and a clear saved progress summary.
- Keep each job consistent by using the selected settings and library boundary captured when it starts.
- Add a top-level Home, Settings, and New Features experience with clearer first-run guidance and a privacy-safe support summary.
- Add an outcome-led Free-to-Pro comparison on Home with a real background-processing preview and transparent annual pricing, while keeping the Pro Home focused on its available tools.
- Add the shared More from WPGO Plugins companion section to the bottom of Home.
- Redesign the formatting-rules screen and add a live filename preview that follows the current unsaved settings.
- Show a short Settings saved confirmation without keeping a timestamp or repeating it after refresh.
