 * Hello,
 * I want to replace an old image with a new one. But I want it to have the same
   url. I tried to save the new image by ftp in the same month and year folder, 
   but the new images don’t regenerate.
 * How can I replace an image by another one with the same url?
 * thank you

 * Hello!
 * It should be possible. I tested it, and it worked for me, but you have to replace
   the original image (the one without the size suffix). And the files should have
   the same extension (png, jpg, jpeg, etc.).
 * Also, before proceeding, I highly recommend you make a backup because any change
   directly in the files or in the database can cause unexpected behaviors.
 * I hope it works for you!
