Set up image filename and alt text defaults

Aomark Suite 2.0.0 · Updated September 26, 2026

Choose a useful upload filename pattern and configure optional alt text generation, then understand what happens to new uploads.

Open the silent recording

Choose a filename pattern

Open Aomark Suite → Images and find the automatic rename settings. Select a pattern that creates a readable, specific filename from available image or parent content details. Avoid patterns that would give many unrelated files the same name.

1. Open Images → Image settings.
2. Choose a filename pattern that produces readable, distinct names.
3. Check how the pattern uses its available post or image values before enabling automatic rename.

Configure alt text

Enable optional AI alt text generation if it fits your workflow, then save the settings. Alt text should describe the meaningful content or purpose of the image in context; decorative images may need empty alt text rather than keyword phrases.

1. Review the alt text generation option in Image settings.
2. Enable it only if generated text will be checked for accuracy.
3. Keep decorative images empty when they convey no information.

Test one upload

Upload a representative image and inspect its Media Library record. Confirm the filename, attachment URL and alt text are sensible before relying on the behavior for routine uploads. Review generated text for accuracy and edit it when needed.

1. Upload one representative image after saving settings.
2. Open its Media Library record and check filename, attachment URL and alt text.
3. Correct the values before applying the same setup to regular uploads.

Plan around URL changes

Renaming changes the image URL. Suite maintains compatibility redirects for old media URLs when it can, but review important pages and external references after a rename. Existing images are managed separately with the bulk image renamer.

1. Before enabling automatic rename, check whether filenames are referenced outside WordPress.
2. After a rename, open the new attachment URL and a page that uses it.
3. Use Bulk Image Renamer to handle existing images separately.
