Kodlo Media Manager

Turn your Media Library requirements into clear, consistent upload rules.

Kodlo Media Manager adds a focused rules builder to Settings -> Media. Define which formats WordPress may accept, where each format is allowed, how large an upload may be, which image dimensions are acceptable, and how filenames should be formatted.

The plugin validates uploads on the server and provides early feedback in the standard WordPress media uploader. It uses native WordPress, PHP, and browser APIs and includes no third-party libraries or external services.

Why Use Kodlo Media Manager?

• Keep upload standards consistent: Replace written instructions with rules WordPress can enforce for supported upload flows.
• Start using SVG and WebP without code: Fresh installations include ready-to-use Media Library rules for both formats.
• Avoid an extra SVG upload plugin: SVG permission, MIME handling, size limits, and sanitization are managed in one place.
• Control each format separately: Give SVG, WebP, AVIF, video, document, font, and archive formats their own policy and limits.
• Reduce duplicate filename clutter: Optionally block an exact normalized filename when it already exists in the Media Library.
• Normalize filenames: Mirror WordPress locale-aware accent conversion, transliterate supported Cyrillic characters, apply a predictable separator, and validate the final name.
• Handle SVG locally: Sanitize canonical .svg uploads with an internal allowlist before WordPress stores them.
• Keep sensitive media processing local: Files are validated on your server without cloud processing, telemetry, or external services.
• Protect editorial workflows: Browser feedback and authoritative server validation apply the same upload policy consistently.
• Stay inside familiar WordPress screens: Configure everything on the native Media Settings page and use the standard media uploader.

SVG and WebP Ready After Activation

On a fresh installation, Kodlo Media Manager automatically configures SVG and WebP uploads for the standard WordPress Media Library. No code snippet, manual MIME filter, or separate SVG upload plugin is required.

SVG files are sanitized locally on the server before WordPress stores them. The plugin removes unsupported or potentially active content, rejects external references and malformed SVG documents, and accepts only the canonical .svg extension and image/svg+xml MIME type.

WebP files can be uploaded and used through the normal WordPress media workflow while the plugin enforces the configured MIME type, file size, image dimensions, filename, and duplicate rules.

Upload Rules

Each rule combines a file extension and MIME type with one of three policies:

• Allowed (Media Library Only): Accept the format in verified WordPress Media Library upload contexts.
• Allowed (Globally): Allow the format in other WordPress upload contexts as well.
• Blocked (Globally): Reject the format throughout WordPress upload handling.

WordPress uses several upload flows beyond the Media Library. Importers, plugin and theme installers, custom frontend forms, and third-party tools may upload files through different WordPress endpoints. The separate policies let you allow a format only where it is needed instead of enabling it for every upload flow on the site.

Allowed (Media Library Only) is the recommended choice for content files such as SVG, WebP, AVIF, PDF, and regular images. It includes uploads made through the standard Media Library modal used by WordPress editors and normal Elementor image controls. Selecting or reusing a file that is already in the Media Library is not restricted by these upload policies.

Use Allowed (Globally) only when the format must also work outside the standard Media Library, such as through an importer, a custom upload form, or a third-party tool with its own upload endpoint. Some specialized Elementor features or add-ons may use such custom endpoints even though normal Elementor image selection uses the WordPress Media Library.

An administrator can also set a per-format maximum file size and, for raster images, maximum width and height. Dangerous executable and active-content formats remain unavailable even if they are submitted through malformed settings data.
