What it covers.

WordPress has no built-in way to replace a media file. The usual workaround is to upload a new one and manually update every page, post, and template that references the old file. This plugin removes that work.

Replaces in place. The attachment ID stays the same so every existing reference updates automatically. Old thumbnails are deleted and regenerated.

  • Keep the same attachment and links.
  • Update all existing uses at once.
  • Replace common image formats and SVG files.
  • Media Library list view: Replace file row action.
  • Media modal when editing posts: Replace file link in the sidebar.
  • Edit Media screen: Replace file meta box.
