 * Sometimes the file does not change. If I deactivate the plugin and re-activate
   it will then update the file. Is anyone else having this issue? I’m not getting
   error message just no file change. Using theme AgentPro.

 * Perhaps the designer / owner could comment on how to resolve.

 * I see the full size image was updated but the thumbnails are not generated; which
   means it looks broken everywhere.

 * I have WP4.4.2 and the latest EMR, I click the file (a 2MB PDF file) from the
   Media Library, go to Attachment Details, click ‘Upload a new file’, select the
   replacement file which has the same name, choose ‘Just replace the file’ and 
   Upload. It seems to work and I see the Edit Media page and I click Update. The
   file has not changed.

 * Seems to be a cache issue with the thumbnails. I changed the image style through
   each one (circle, mosaic, etc) and then it cleared up.

 * My problem was also a cache issue. The 2MB PDF files were being cached by Chrome.
