常見問題
-
What image formats are supported?
-
JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files inside the uploaded ZIP are processed. All other files are left untouched.
-
Are the original filenames preserved?
-
Yes. The plugin always preserves original filenames — generated placeholders use the exact same name as the source file automatically.
-
Is the original ZIP modified?
-
No. The uploaded ZIP is extracted to a temporary directory. The originals are never modified; a new ZIP containing only placeholders is created and saved.
-
Does it work with nested folders?
-
Yes. The plugin recursively processes all images inside the ZIP regardless of folder depth, and the full folder structure is preserved in the output archive.
-
What are the server requirements?
-
The plugin requires PHP 8.0+, the GD image library (enabled by default on most hosts), and the ZipArchive PHP extension. Both are standard on virtually all WordPress-compatible hosting.
-
Is there a file size limit for the uploaded ZIP?
-
The plugin itself has no hard limit, but your server’s
upload_max_filesizeandpost_max_sizePHP settings apply. If large uploads fail, ask your host to increase these values or use a staging environment where you control the PHP configuration.
