## Description

WordPress plugin which removes all accented characters like `åöä` from future uploads
and has easy wp-cli command for removing accents from current uploads and attachment
links from database.
 This helps tremendously with current and future migrations
of your site and helps you to avoid strange filename encoding bugs.

Sanitize accents from Cyrillic, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Hungarian, Czech,
Greek, Swedish.
 This even removes rare but possible unicode NFD characters from
files by using [PHP Normalizer class](http://php.net/manual/en/normalizer.normalize.php).
These usually happen if you have mounted uploads into your vagrant box in OS-X.

This plugin is wordpress multisite compatible.

uploads

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/wp-sanitize-accented-uploads`
    directory, require it in composer `$ composer require devgeniem/wp-sanitize-accented-
    uploads` or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Use the Settings->Plugin Name screen to configure the plugin

## FAQ

  Does this fix my uploads if my filenames have already been corrupted

No, sorry :(. You need to start using this before the problems arise in preventive
way.

  How to use wp-cli command

After the plugin installation and activation you can run `$ wp sanitize all` in 
terminal to sanitize all current files.

See `$ wp sanitize --help` for more.
