 * Hey [@colkav2015](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colkav2015/)! 👋
 * These logs just indicate that you don’t have any method selected in the auto-
   renaming settings, but that shouldn’t affect what you do with manual renaming,
   it should still work as expected. Are you experiencing an issue with manual renaming,
   or does the filename change still go through?

 * Hi, thanks for your response. I checked other files and they rename just fine,
   but there’s several that won’t rename. I suspect it’s because some, not all, 
   have accents. eg é…
 * I’m not too sure how many are affected at this stage. Hopefully it will be manageable,
   and i’ll download, rename the affected files, and re-upload them.
 * Thanks again.
