How To Rename Uploaded Media Files in WordPress: 3 Plugins

We all upload files to our WordPress sites almost every time we want to publish a new post. WordPress manages your uploaded files and gives you some options when it comes to editing and deleting your items from your media library. Renaming the files you have already uploaded without having to use a FTP or SSH client is not as easy as it should be. Thanks to these 3 plugins, you can rename your WordPress media faster:

Media Rename: this plugin allows you to change the name of your files after you have uploaded them to your WordPress site.

Rename Media Files: adds a field in the Media Library section, so you can change the name of your files after uploading them. It updates links too.

There are a few other ways you can go about renaming the files you have already uploaded to WordPress. The above plugins make the job a bit easier.
