Add Modern Image Formats to Network Upload Types
Adds WebP and AVIF to the file types every site on the network may upload, without editing the "Upload file types" list in Network Settings.
Snippet Library
WordPress code snippets, ready to use
3,040 free snippets from the WPIDE team and the community. Copy the code, or add any snippet to your site in one click with WPIDE.
Add a Random Suffix to Uploaded File Names
Appends a short random string to the name of every uploaded file (for example report-k3f9q2.pdf), so private documents cannot be found by guessing their URL.
Add the Date to Uploaded File Names
Prefixes uploaded file names with the upload date, such as 2025-03-14-team-photo.jpg, so files sort chronologically on the server and in downloads.
Alert When PHP Files Appear in the Uploads Folder
Scans the uploads folder once a day for PHP files, which never belong there and usually mean a backdoor, and emails the administrator and shows a dashboard warning when new ones show up.
Allow Contributors to Upload Media
Lets users who can write posts but not upload files (the Contributor role) add images to their drafts. The role itself is not changed in the database.
Allow Font, eBook and Data File Uploads for Administrators
Lets administrators upload web fonts (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, OTF), EPUB eBooks, JSON and GPX files to the Media Library, which WordPress blocks by default.
Allow JSON, CSV and Other Data File Uploads
Lets administrators upload data files such as JSON, CSV, XML and Markdown to the Media Library, which WordPress blocks by default.
Allow Only Images and PDFs for Non-Administrators
Limits the file types authors, editors and other non-admin users can upload to common images and PDF documents.
Allow Only Safe File Types to Be Uploaded
Limits uploads to common images, documents, audio and video, and rejects files with a hidden second extension such as photo.php.jpg.
Allow SVG Uploads for Administrators
Lets administrators upload SVG files to the Media Library. Files containing scripts, event handlers or javascript: links are rejected.
Block Duplicate Uploads
Stops the same file from being uploaded twice by comparing a fingerprint of each new upload with files already in the Media Library, and tells the user where the existing copy is.
Block PHP Execution in the Uploads Folder (Apache)
Adds Tools > Uploads Protection with a button that writes .htaccess rules to your uploads folder so PHP files there can never be run, even if one slips through an upload.
BuddyPress: Turn Off Cover Images
Disables cover image uploads for member profiles and groups, keeping profiles simple and saving storage.
Categories for the Media Library
Adds a "Media Categories" taxonomy to attachments, so you can organise uploads and filter the Media Library list view by category.
Change the Big Image Size Limit
Sets the size above which WordPress scales down very large uploaded images (2560 pixels by default), for example to 1920 pixels to save disk space and bandwidth.
Clean Up File Names on Upload
Converts uploaded file names to lowercase, removes accents and replaces spaces and symbols with dashes, for tidy and portable URLs.
Default Upload Limits for Contact Form 7 File Fields
Gives every Contact Form 7 file field a safe default list of allowed file types and a maximum size, unless the field already sets its own.
Default Upload Limits for Gravity Forms File Fields
Gives every Gravity Forms file upload field a safe list of allowed file types and a maximum file size when the field does not set its own.
Default Upload Limits for WPForms File Fields
Gives every WPForms file upload field a safe list of allowed file types and a maximum size when the field does not set its own.
Disable PDF Preview Images
Stops WordPress from generating preview images for every uploaded PDF, saving disk space and server time when you upload many documents.
Disk and Database Usage Widget
Shows how much space the uploads folder and the database take, recalculated once a day, so you notice a full hosting plan early.
Email Alert When Disk Space Runs Low
Checks free disk space on the server twice a day and emails the admin when it drops below your threshold, before uploads, backups and the database start failing.
Image Guidelines Note in the Upload Screens
Shows a short note with your image rules, such as recommended sizes, file types and the need for alt text, right inside the media uploader and Media > Add New screen.
Limit How Many Files Non-Administrators Can Upload per Hour
Caps uploads at 30 files per hour for each user who is not an administrator, which limits the damage a compromised author account or a buggy front-end upload form can do.
