Overwrite file option?

    Is there an option available to overwrite an existing file in the bucket? I have a file that gets uploaded several times a day, but needs to overwrite the previous version rather than appending the name and creating a new file. Thank you.

    Hi @aquaphase,

    Thanks for reaching out to us this Sunday night.

    By default, when you upload files with the same name to Amazon S3, it’ll overwrite the existing ones. This behavior might cause data loss, especially when you allow file uploads by multiple users.

    That’s why our SSU plugin adds suffixes to duplicate files.

    In case you want to overwrite duplicate files, simply add the following custom code to your (child) theme functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'ssu_enable_unique_file_name', '__return_false' );

    Let us know if it works for you.
