Wordpress Guru Needed Here - Plugin Name

wisdomkid · Nov 1, 2016

Hello, please i need your help.

Am having problems looking for a plugin that can help me, make my website attachment looks clean.

FOR Example;
The normal wordpress attachment url for PDF goes like this:

http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/bhw.pdf

But i want to have a cleaner URL like this.

http://www.example.com/myname/bhw.pdf

Please how can i achieve this?
Waiting to hear from you.
Thanks

What you need is mod_rewrite

Just edit the .htaccess file.

Search for mod_rewrite examples - there are plenty.

Thanks for replying. I don't know much about Mod rewriting and won't want to mess up this site, it's a big and ranking website.
Just thought there must be a plugin that does this thing effortlessly.

Either you create a new directory under your wordpress installation/root directory ("myname" in your case) and upload the files there or you could use a redirect plugin.

I have never thought of a redirection plugin though. Nice idea. I was going through google and came across plugins like Media file renamer, etc.
But they don't do what i need. I just need a clean attachment url,

May be check this plugin, it's mentioned that they support pretty url for download links, I haven't tried it though.

Thanks. Am currently going through this plugin, and it seems to change different links of my media attachment pages.
Will update you.

Thank you very much.
