add a wp-cron job to automatically mangle urls

[pixeline]

Hi!

The mangle feature is really helpful! I was wondering if you could add a wp-cron task that automatically mangles urls, every hours or every day ?

Thank you!

Could you explain the use case for this? The plugin automatically mangles the slugs on upload. The manual tool is only meant for cases where you install the plugin on an existing site with attachment URLs that are in the old format.

Ah, i was unaware of that. I noticed i ran it once. It had 2000 entries or more. Then a day later, there were 14 new entries. so i assumed it was due to bloggers uploading 14 new files.

It seems that in this case there would be a bug. While this plugin hooks into the image upload, it’s possible that some plugins bypass this process and therefore the slugs will not get processed. If you want, I could provide some code to help find out what images are using the old slug format.

Unrelated to this, I’m actually planning on adding a feature that will display a notice on the admin screen when there are slugs that haven’t been processed yet. This could help in cases likw you described.
