Rename image uploads with width in filename

2 Views

I am attempting to change the name format that WordPress uses to rename uploaded files. For example, when I upload an image with filename cat-picture.jpg WordPress will create scaled versions and rename the filename to variations of cat-picture-{WIDTHxHEIGHT}.jpg. Is there a way I am able to move this width & height attribute to the beginning of the filename so instead I get variations of {WIDTHxHEIGHT}-cat-picture.jpg? So, in the context of this example, I’d like the filename to be renamed to 600x400-cat-picture.jpg. Thoughts?

I’ve looked at this post and this post, but I am unable to come up with a working solution. Here’s my code:

add_filter( 'wp_handle_upload_prefilter', 'modify_uploaded_file_names', 20);
function modify_uploaded_file_names( $image ) {
    // Get default name of uploaded file and set to variable
    $imagename = $image['name'];
    // Case switch for multiple file extensions
    switch ( $image['type'] ) {
        case 'image/jpeg' :
            $suffix = 'jpg';
            break;
        case 'image/png' :
            $suffix = 'png';
            break;
        case 'image/gif' :
            $suffix = 'gif';
            break;
    }
    // Get size of uploaded image and assign to variable
    $imagesize = getimagesize($image);
    // Re-structure uploaded image name
    $image['name'] = "{$imagesize[0]}x{$imagesize[1]}-{$imagename}.{$suffix}";

    return $image;
}

  1. I’ve managed to do it with the filter image_make_intermediate_size.

    Probably all the path/filename.extension dismembering and remaking could be optimized or made in a single stroke fashion, but alas, I’ll let that to the reader:

    // The filter runs when resizing an image to make a thumbnail or intermediate size.
add_filter( 'image_make_intermediate_size', 'rename_intermediates_wpse_82193' );

function rename_intermediates_wpse_82193( $image ) 
{
    // Split the $image path into directory/extension/name
    $info = pathinfo($image);
    $dir = $info['dirname'] . '/';
    $ext = '.' . $info['extension'];
    $name = wp_basename( $image, "$ext" );

    // Build our new image name
    $name_prefix = substr( $name, 0, strrpos( $name, '-' ) );
    $size_extension = substr( $name, strrpos( $name, '-' ) + 1 );
    $new_name = $dir . $size_extension . '-' . $name_prefix . $ext;

    // Rename the intermediate size
    $did_it = rename( $image, $new_name );

    // Renaming successful, return new name
    if( $did_it )
        return $new_name;

    return $image;
}
