Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about neo Replace - Simple replacement using drag & drop

The main features of the Replacer plugin are: ✅ Replaces the file and keeps references intact 🎉 ✅ Easy file replacement via drag and drop ✅ Supports images, videos, audio files and PDF documents ✅ Direct integration into the media library ✅ Automatically regenerates thumbnails ✅ Preserves description, caption text and alt text ✅ Reliably replaces across the entire website Short and sweet

The plugin neoReplace is a WordPress plugin for replacing images, videos, PDFs and other media files directly in the media library. You simply drag the new file onto the existing file and neoReplace swaps it out. Existing image references are automatically updated, thumbnails are regenerated and important metadata such as alt text, description and caption are preserved. This lets you replace media in WordPress without having to manually swap every image on pages, posts or in page builders. Galleries supported

Yes, when renaming or replacing images, the image references in all common WordPress galleries are updated as well. Supported galleries include, for example: NextGEN Gallery, Envira Gallery, FooGallery, Modula Image Gallery, Photo Gallery by 10Web, Meow Gallery, Responsive Lightbox & Gallery, Visual Portfolio, Justified Image Grid, The Grid and many more.

With neoReplace you replace an image right where you expect it: in the WordPress media library. An action link appears on the existing media that opens the replace popup. After that you can either select the new file traditionally or simply drag and drop it into the popup. After uploading, neoReplace replaces the file, creates appropriate new thumbnails and updates the existing references in your WordPress database. As a result, the new image appears automatically wherever the old image was used. Updating references

Yes. That is exactly what neoReplace was built for. When replacing a media file, existing references in the WordPress database are updated so the new image appears wherever the old one was embedded. This is especially important if the file name, the file extension or the image format changes when replacing. neoReplace takes into account content from posts and pages, post meta fields, WordPress options, ACF fields and data structures used by page builders, among others. This reduces broken image links, faulty media references and unnecessary manual rework. Supported formats

With neoReplace you can replace images, videos, audio files, PDFs and many other media formats. All common file types that can be uploaded to WordPress are supported. These include, among others, JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, SVG, GIF, TIF, BMP, MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, MP3, WAV, PDF, TXT and ZIP. For example, you can replace a JPG image with a PNG, WEBP or AVIF without having to reinsert the file on every page afterwards. Metadata preserved

Yes. When replacing a file, neoReplace preserves important media information such as alt text, description and caption. This is particularly useful if you only want to swap an image for technical or design reasons while keeping the existing SEO texts. Optionally, when replacing you can choose whether the file name, title and slug from the newly uploaded image should also be adopted. This gives you flexibility to decide whether only the file itself is updated or whether the media name should be adjusted to the new file as well. Regenerating thumbnails

If the new image has a different resolution than the old one, the number or size of generated thumbnails may change. neoReplace maps the new preview images to the existing image sizes as sensibly as possible so your site can continue to serve appropriate image versions. Page builders

Yes. neoReplace is designed for common WordPress setups and page builders. These include, among others, Elementor, Bricks, Divi, Gutenberg, the Classic Editor and many more builders. The plugin searches for image references not only in regular post content but also in data structures commonly used by page builders. These include plain URLs, JSON data and serialized PHP arrays. As a result, neoReplace can update images even where manual replacement quickly becomes confusing. WooCommerce

Yes, neoReplace is compatible with WooCommerce and is well suited for replacing product images, gallery images and other shop media. When you replace a product image in the WordPress media library, existing links remain intact and the new image can automatically appear where the old product image was used. This saves a lot of time, especially in larger shops, because images do not have to be replaced manually in each product. SEO benefits
