 * After editing an image within wordpress, it always creates a new file name.
    
   There is no option within wordpress to replace the old one, and/or replace all
   links to that image?

 * To replace media, you can use the replace media plugin. Otherwise, WordPress 
   does not overwrite files. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-media-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-media-replace/)
