Missing extension in file upload to wordpress. How to fix?

[Mec]

Describe the problem/error/question

Hi all,

I’m trying to fetch an image from Unsplash, Upload it to Wordpress and set it as featured image in a wordpress post. And it works, almostish…

It uploads the image to Wordpress, however it doesn’t add the file type after the file upload.
For example it uploads image: x123 but is missing the filetype for example .jpg so it becomes
x123.jpg

Any ideas on how this could be added to this flow?
I think things need to be fixed on Upload to Wordpress node.

Please share your workflow

Is there a chance the image doesn’t come with the extension in the file name field when downloading? n8n does unfortunately not process the content-disposition header when downloading something, so you might need to rename your file first before processing it further. I’ve shared an example a while back over here:

HTTP Request Node: Read filename from content-disposition header when downloading files

Hey @asuhan, I am not aware of a way to set the filename from the content-disposition header in your screenshot on the fly unfortunately, so I have converted this into a feature request for the time being. As a workaround, you could manually rename the file like so if needed: [image] This example code is built upon this snippet provided by a helpful Stack Overflow user and further uses getBinaryData() and setBinaryData(binaryData) to manipulate the binary data receive…

Hey @Mec

The workflow can be a little simpler. The first HTTP node downloads the image from Unsplash, the second uploads it to the WordPress instance and the third adds the image as a featured image in the post with indicated ID.
