<p>Converts Cyrillic, Georgian, Arabic and Chinese characters in post, term slugs and media file names to Latin characters.</p>
<p>This plugins uses parts from following plugins:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/arabic-to-lat/" rel="ugc">Arabic-to-latino</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyr3lat/" rel="ugc">Cyr to Lat enhanced</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-pinyin-slugs/" rel="ugc">Pinyin Slugs</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>The problem</h4>
<p>WordPress cannot sanitize all languages correctly which leaves pretty permalink with bare post ID. There are a few separate plugins to handle sanitazing but they won’t generally play along nicley and end up often removing parts from other languages.</p>
<h4>The solution</h4>
<p>This plugins combines the few working slug sanitazing plugins so that they will work together.</p>
<p>If you need only one of above plugins, you can (and probably should) use them instead of this. If you are in need of multiple of these plugins, this is the conflict-free combination for you.</p>
<h4>What this plugin sanitizes?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Post slug</li>
<li>Term slug</li>
<li>Filename</li>
</ul>
<p>These are sanitized with WordPress’s filter and done in post save etc.</p>
<p><strong>Notice:</strong> There is no bulk sanitizing option right now. If you are in need of it, some of the plugins above have their own solutions so adding the feature here wouldn’t be such a big hassle. Send a PR!</p>
<h4>What about language X?</h4>
<p>Send PR to add other languages to the mix.</p>

<p>Safe SVG is the best way to Allow SVG Uploads in WordPress!</p>
<p>It gives you the ability to allow SVG uploads whilst making sure that they’re sanitized to stop SVG/XML vulnerabilities affecting your site.  It also gives you the ability to preview your uploaded SVGs in the media library in all views.</p>
<h4>Current Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sanitised SVGs</strong> – Don’t open up security holes in your WordPress site by allowing uploads of unsanitised files.</li>
<li><strong>SVGO Optimisation</strong> – Runs your SVGs through the SVGO tool on upload to save you space. This feature is disabled by default but can be enabled by adding the following code: <code>add_filter( 'safe_svg_optimizer_enabled', '__return_true' );</code></li>
<li><strong>View SVGs in the Media Library</strong> – Gone are the days of guessing which SVG is the correct one, we’ll enable SVG previews in the WordPress media library.</li>
<li><strong>Choose Who Can Upload</strong> – Restrict SVG uploads to certain users on your WordPress site or allow anyone to upload.</li>
</ul>

Safe SVG

Our agency has a talented illustrator who is adept at creating SVGs, particularly with self-contained CSS animations. We would be loading them all manually from the theme folder with no path to easily add new or replace existing SVGs without developer involvement if it weren't for this plugin. We install Safe SVG on pretty much all sites we custom build for our clients.

I'm really hoping for some additional features to come to this plugin to better support the Gutenberg editor, since the core image block doesn't handle SVGs well. But that doesn't affect my 5-star review as the most reliable SVG upload plugin.

Agency go-to for SVG uploads

Why Automattic hates SVG has always been a source of confusion to me. Why shouldn't uploading SVG be as easy and straightforward as any other kind of (supported) image? Then again, it's true that you can write malicious code inside a SVG rather easily. The solution? Safe SVG. It cleans up a malformed or malicious SVG during the upload, so that when it arrives in your Media Library, it will already have been sanitised.

The plugin is as simple to operate as it is useful. All parts of WP that require opening the Media Library browser will now accept SVGs as well. As others have remarked, there are some outstanding issues when previewing SVGs inside Gutenberg. No surprises there — this plugin has predated Gutenberg, and (at the time of writing) has been abandoned for about two years, during which Automattic has been eagerly upgrading WordPress.

The author has not gone away, though. He is still actively developing the sanitising part of the plugin, using a library he has developed and posted on GitHub, and which has accepted several contributions and gone through many code reviews. It's possibly the reference library for SVG sanitation written in PHP.

And fortunately he's now back and has released a brand new version as of late February 2022 :)

Incredibly useful!

Great plugin, does what it says. Should be core functionality.

Why is this not a part of core?


Great plugin! very usefull, but please can you add the possibility to add an inline SVG on the block pasting svg code?



Thanks!
