Because of the construction of WordPress, the plugin can not change the previous images .
Indeed, if you look at the content of an article in WordPress ( post_content ) you notice that the URL of the images are hard and not dynamically generated .
The plugin WP Original Media Path will change the WordPress behavior in dynamic applications such as wp_get_attachment . In general : all dynamic queries that use the uploads folder.
If you want to modify your images to be called HTTPS ( for former content) you need to change the database .
You can read this topic that can give you the tracks on the changes.

You should search and replace in your database references http : // to become https: // in your post_content .
Warning ! Be careful before changing this kind of thing . Save before
just ran into this post through google. And it doesn’t provide the answer I’m looking for. However to fix the image replacement problem ? https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/ is a great plugin to do just that without SQL.
