Thread: Frontend image uploaded files are renamed

Frontend image uploaded files are renamed

Hello everyone,

I recently started testing out CP 3.6.1 ( I think it's the latest one released prior to 4.0 and 4.1), I noticed few issues including the following:

When the user uploads photos from their Dashboard, the image files are renamed with numerical entries (example: original-file-name.jpg is renamed to 449699-100x100.jpg), yet if I upload the photos from the backend, the file names are preserved as "original-file-name.jpg"

Not sure why this is happening but this is crucial when it comes to internal search and SEO ranking, is there a workaround or a fix to leave the original file names intact upon uploading them?
