How to replace an image on WordPress without FTP client

2018-10-20

Normally, without a plugin, you would need to replace a media using an FTP client or a file manager and naming the replacement file to match the former image file. 

There is a simpler way of doing it. 

Install a plugin to replace images on your wordpress installation. There is a very handy plugin named “Enable Media Replace.”

First of all, go to plugins and type “enable media replace” in the plugin search field, then activate it. 

The button to replace a media

Click on “media”, choose the image that you want to replace. Click on it. scroll down the settings on the right of the picture, you will see a button named “upload a new file”. This is a button that was added by the “enable media replace” plugin. Choose a new image and you will see that on your website the former image will be replaced by the new image file.
