    That may be what you want. But it’s a mistake to think that that’s what everyone wants.

    The new image may be totally different or have different dimensions that may not “work” for the older post that the old image was used in. Replacing older images willy-nilly like this can produce undesirable results.

    The beauty of WordPress (and open source) is that we can have choices!

    This plugin does what you want: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/overwrite-uploads

    If you prefer to write custom code rather than use a plugin, please see this WordPress Stack Exchange Q&A.

    Good luck!
