    Hi,
    I used the replace media feature on a website where EZZZ image optimizer is used to optimize and create webP images.

    I realized then that while your plugin is doing what it should:
    The name of the image did not change.
    The jpg declination of images were replaced, but:
    My browser was still displaying the webP images, which was the old image.

    Deleting the webP image on the server solved the problem !

    Are you aware of that problem ? Would it be possible to make it delete the webP images while replacing ? That would be great !

    Were you trying to replace an existing WebP image with a JPG image that gets converted to WebP on upload?

    >> The name of the image did not change.

    This is the intended behaviour, so that no existing links to an image will break.

    >> My browser was still displaying the webP images, which was the old image.

    So, there is an old-image.webp, which is replaced with the new image but still having the filename old-image.webp and deleting the old-image.webp somehow solved your problem?

    I’m a bit confused, as the file deleted should be the newly uploaded file(name), not the old file(name). Please try to explain your scenario step-by-step.
