Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

WordPress upload file names can be quite predictable sometimes, especially if uploading from the same camera – DKIM1004 comes after DKIM1003. If not all of the content on your site is public, this can be a problem as people can snoop on your media folder by guessing file names.

This plugin prepends a short 8 character hash to the beginning of every uploaded file. jpg. The hash is not cryptographically secure and just makes it a bit more difficult to guess file names.

The plugin works on all upload file types and all sizes of a given image get the same prefix.
