Tutoriel vidéo
Si vous n’aimez pas la vidéo ou si vous avez besoin de plus d’instructions, alors continuez à lire.
La première chose que vous devez faire est d’installer et d’activer l’extension Enable Media Replace. Une fois activé, il fonctionne hors de la boîte, et il n’y a pas de réglages pour vous à définir.
Tout ce que vous avez à faire est de visiter Media » Bibliothèque dans votre zone d’administration WordPress. Si vous utilisez la vue grille, vous devez passer à la vue liste.
Maintenant, localisez le fichier que vous voulez remplacer. Une fois que vous avez trouvé le fichier, placez votre souris près du nom du fichier, et vous verrez un lien libellé ‘Replace Media’.
Lorsque vous cliquez sur ce lien, vous accédez à la page de remplacement des médias. Là, vous devez téléverser votre nouveau fichier en cliquant sur le bouton Choisir un fichier.
Une fois le fichier choisi, deux options s’offrent à vous. Vous pouvez choisir de remplacer uniquement le fichier ou de remplacer le fichier, d’utiliser le nouveau nom de fichier et de mettre à jour tous les liens pointant vers l’ancien fichier.
Après avoir choisi l’une des options, il vous suffit d’appuyer sur le bouton Téléversement.
WordPress va maintenant téléverser votre fichier média, et l’extension va remplacer l’ancien fichier média. Si vous avez choisi d’utiliser un nouveau nom de fichier et des liens de mise à jour, l’extension s’en chargera également.
Vous pouvez maintenant visiter vos publications ou pages où vous aviez ce fichier média joint et voir qu’il a été remplacé par le nouvel outil que vous venez de téléverser.
Nous espérons que cet article vous a aidé à trouver un moyen plus facile de remplacer les fichiers joints dans WordPress.

I love your videos but please slow down on how to do it, older persons need to see it slowly.

Is there a way to batch replace? I’m a photographer and sometimes have over 100 images per blog post. I wanted to replace them with smaller file sizes to help with my pages speeds. Is this possible?
Many thanks
WPBeginner Support says
Not manually but there are plugins to help make the process easier for you that we cover in our list below:

If I use the plugin to just « replace image only » (with one of the same file name) will the alt text, image description, and image caption of the original image be overwritten or preserved. If they are preserved, this would save me a ton of time.
WPBeginner Support says
It should keep that information if it is able, you would want to reach out to the plugin’s support for specifics.

This option isn’t available in the new version as it just allows you to delete or edit it. if I delete it I don’t know the url to replace it with?
WPBeginner Support says
You may want to ensure you are in the correct view for your media library as the feature is currently available

Thank you for your post.
I installed enable media replace plugin in my site. But when I replace an image that I used in a blog post, I can see the image has been replaced in the media library. But When I check that image in the blog post, there is no change to that image and its file size. What I have to do to resolve this?
WPBeginner Support says
You may want to try clearing your cache and if that does not work, reach out to the plugin’s support for them to take a look at possible issues.

Can I do the same thing manually by replacing the image via FTP? Will that change the image?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Linda,
That would work. But WordPress will not be able to regenerate thumbnails and image sizes.

Can I disable this plugin permanently after all images have been replaced in media library ?
Fede says
Hi. I keep getting request timeout. Same as when uploading using usual wp means. That is why I had to switch to uploading via ftp and then loading them through a plugin meant for that. I really need to get this working since some of the images are not scaling properly nd need to change them. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks.

Riccardo says
Hi thanks for the article, the plugin works great. There’s one thing I don’t get though: the image replacement seems to only affect the image in its original size, when the site displays the image in other formats (thumbnails, previews, etc…) I can still see the old image file.
How can I force the image replacement on all the other image files (e.g. imagename-300×200.jpg)?
thank you
Rehan says
Please use Regenerate thumbnails plugin to regenerate your images. after that you will see the replaced images.
Leed says
Thanks a lot.
You help me for this problem.

The Enable Media Replace plugin poses a security threat, I would totally avoid it. Its a shame to suggest users to use dangerous software. Please research before posting.
The exploit holds since 2011.

WPBeginner Support says
Hi Panagiotis,
The issue was immediately resolved by the plugin author in the very next release (please see plugin’s changelog and scroll down to version 2.4).
This is why we recommend users to keep their WordPress site and plugins updated.

Panagiotis Tabakis says
Yes, you are correct. I’m sorry, I saw a support post which the plugin author didn’t answer and thought it wasn’t resolved.
The exploit was patched @ 09 February 2011 (the same day).
I wonder why the author hasn’t replied but I will inform the forum users.
Again, sorry.
WPBeginner Support says
No problem
It’s good to be cautious about security issues. Hopefully, your answer on the support forums will help other users.

I am running WP 4.6.1 bootstrap and I want to remove a background photo and replace it with one that is in my galley. Can you tell me how to do it, Thanks
Sky says
I followed the steps and in the library the new image is displayed but where the image is located on the home page remains the old photo. Not sure what to do…
Christian Scholz-Flöter says
Maybe it’s a browser cache related issue and you need to clean/delete the browser cache. If you don’t know how to do it, google your browser’s brand name and « clear browser cache ».
jorge says
This plugin works great in the media page. However I would like to also replace images/media from within the media modal window inside a post/page edit page without leaving the page. Any ideas?
Thanks for this amazing post!
Marilyn says
I wish I had known this sooner! I didn’t detach my media files before I deleted them. I replaced them with a new image. The problem is that resulted in broken images. Even though I go back and reattach/choose the correct image down the road it breaks again. In my Easy recipe program I see the placeholder for the deleted image and the program searching for it. Is there a fix for this? Unfortunately there are about 200 files doing this.
Rosy says
Hi, unfortunately the « replace media » link is not showing as an option?
