Replacing an Image

This is a very important feature to implement. Firstly, it will prevent you from storing outdated images in your media library by allowing you to replace old images with newer more pertinent or updated images. What is even more helpful is that this will replace every instance of the image on your website. If you have an image on three different pages, using this method will replace all three instances simultaneously. This method also saves all of the Search Engine Optimized data added to the image. You access the feature simply by clicking on the image in the media library. On the lower right side you will see the title Replace Media next to the button ‘upload a new file’. Simply press that button to select a new file from your computer. Note the important options on the following page:
  1. Just replace the file
    • Note: This option requires you to upload a file of the same type (image/jpeg) as the one you are replacing. The name of the attachment will stay the same (permalink-2.jpg) no matter what the file you upload is called.
  2. Replace the file, use new file name and update all links
    • Note: If you check this option, the name and type of the file you are about to upload will replace the old file. All links pointing to the current file (permalink-2.jpg) will be updated to point to the new file name.
