Replace from Library Instead of Uploading?

    Is it possible to replace an image in the media library with another image already in the media library instead of uploading each replacement image individually?

    Logis is we have 2,000 images to be replaced and a single upload of 2,000 images will be quicker than uploading each image separately.

    Thx

    Hi markxkr,

    At the moment, Enable Media Replace is designed specifically to replace files by uploading a new version from your local device. Replacing one media item with another existing item in the Media Library isn’t supported, as it falls a bit outside the plugin’s intended functionality, especially when we are talking about 2,000 files to point to the same one — it’s more about updating a file rather than reassigning or re-linking images.

    Because of this, it’s unlikely that such a feature will be added in the future.

    As a workaround, if you need to bulk replace or reassign images already in the Media Library, you might consider using a plugin that can perform bulk updates or manage media attachments more flexibly, or handling it via a custom script if you have development resources available.

    Best regards,
