Replace Images Without Changing the URL

Re-Uploading Isn't Replacing

WordPress has no way to swap a file in place - so updating one image turns into a hunt across your whole site.

A New Upload, A New URL

Upload a corrected image and WordPress creates a brand-new attachment with a brand-new URL - the old one keeps showing everywhere it was used.

Old image still live on every page
Manual Find-and-Replace

To actually update it you'd track down every post, widget, gallery and menu that referenced the old file and edit each one by hand.

Every reference, updated one by one
Stale Caches, Old Version

Even after you swap the file, browser and page caches keep serving the old image - so the fix isn't visible when it matters.

Fix that visitors still can't see
