User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Replace Image plugin for its simplicity and efficiency in updating images and files without the need to change URLs or refresh caches manually. This plugin saves time by allowing users to update media files directly from the media library, avoiding the hassle of re-uploading and re-linking content throughout the site. Additionally, it helps maintain organized media libraries and is highly beneficial for batch operations or regular content updates. However, some users encounter issues with cache not updating promptly and instances where old images remain in the media library, necessitating extra steps or troubleshooting. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a highly recommended tool for frequent media updates.

This plugin works for Images AND files so before I found this plugin I was deleting the original file, then uploading the updated version. I then had to go to everywhere the file was installed and update it’s URL and then the cache had to be refreshed until I could be sure that everything was ok. Now with Replace Image I simply upload the updated file and open the original and click replace, simple, no changing URL’s or playing with cache, love it.

Tried the others, didn’t work, tried this one, worked first time and seems more intuitive to be able to copy alt text etc. Thank you for producing and maintaining this valuable tool. The community thanks you.

Crazy that one needs to add a plug-in for something so basic, but since one does, I’m sure glad for this plug-in! But DO delete those caches! Wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it wasn’t working and that was the answer.

Not much to add. I downloaded this because I often have to make ongoing adjustments to images but have them placed in context with code and styling applied, so don’t want the faff of having to copy and paste all the deets into place once a new image is created. This plugin does a great job of replacing existing images in situ without fuss. Thanks! This topic was modified 3 months, 2 weeks ago by merrydown.
