## Descripció

**Devenia Replace Media** lets you replace any media file in WordPress while keeping
the original URL intact. Useful for updating images without changing links.

#### Key Features

 * **Keep Your URLs** – Replace the file while keeping the URL, helping avoid broken
   links.
 * **Works Everywhere** – Media Library list view, Elementor gallery editor, and
   standard WordPress media modals.
 * **Preserves Metadata** – Captions, alt text, titles, and descriptions stay intact.
 * **Automatic Cache Busting** – Appends a version parameter after replacement, 
   which can help browsers and CDNs fetch the updated file.
 * **Regenerates Thumbnails** – All image sizes are automatically regenerated after
   replacement.
 * **MCP/Abilities Support** – Agents and automation can replace an existing attachment
   directly instead of uploading duplicates.
 * **Simple Interface** – Just click «Replace File», upload your new file, done.

#### Where It Works

 * **Media Library** – «Replace File» link appears in the list view actions
 * **Elementor Gallery Editor** – Blue «Replace File» button in attachment details
 * **WordPress Media Modal** – Works in the standard media selector used by Gutenberg
   and Classic Editor

#### Use Cases

 * Update product images without changing URLs
 * Fix typos in PDFs or documents
 * Replace outdated screenshots
 * Update seasonal images across your site
 * Swap placeholder images for final versions

#### Why Cache Busting Matters

When you replace an image, browsers may show an older cached version. This plugin
appends a version parameter to image URLs after replacement to help caches fetch
the updated file.

## Instal·lació

 1. Upload the `devenia-replace-media` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. That’s it! Look for «Replace File» links in your Media Library

## PMF

### Will this break my existing links?

The file URL stays the same; only the file content changes.

### Does it work with CDNs?

Often, yes. The cache-busting version parameter can help CDNs serve the updated 
file, but behavior depends on your CDN configuration.

### What file types can I replace?

Any file type that WordPress allows in the Media Library: images (JPG, PNG, GIF,
WebP), documents (PDF, DOC), audio, video, and more.

### Can I replace an image with a different file type?

Yes. For example, you can replace a JPG with a PNG. The URL path stays the same,
but the MIME type is updated.

### Does it preserve my captions and alt text?

Yes. All attachment metadata (title, caption, alt text, description) is preserved.

### I replaced an image but still see the old one. What do I do?

Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). The plugin adds cache-busting 
parameters, but your browser may have a very aggressive cache. For images replaced
before installing this plugin, the cache-busting won’t apply.
