# Compatibility Settings

[Rename Media Files: Improve Your WordPress SEO](https://wpfactory.com/item/file-renaming-on-upload-wordpress-plugin/) includes a Compatibility tab that keeps renaming from interfering with a few plugins that handle their own file uploads. The Compatibility tab is a Pro-only feature. This guide covers each option and what it does.

### Where the settings live

Go to **WPFactory > File Renaming** in your WordPress admin. The settings page is titled **File Renaming on Upload**. Open the **Compatibility** tab, which is added by Pro.

### Compatibility options

Each option targets one plugin and is off by default. Turn on the ones that match the plugins you run.

- **Buddyboss:** `buddyboss` disables renaming for BuddyBoss profile uploads, preventing conflicts with profile and cover images.
- **Gravity forms:** `gravityforms` fixes Gravity Forms entry exports so file upload fields continue to work correctly.
- **WPForms:** `wpforms` fixes WPForms file uploads so submitted files are handled correctly.

### Options reference

| Setting | Option ID | Default | Free/Pro |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Buddyboss | `buddyboss` | Off | Pro |
| Gravity forms | `gravityforms` | Off | Pro |
| WPForms | `wpforms` | Off | Pro |
