Replace link changing file name

    I’ve been having issues with files of a certain size and larger (3mb for example), where if I replace a file with another of the same name and select “replace and use the new file name” it will wind up appending -1 to the file. I haven’t had this issue with smaller files (133kb or so).

    I know the ideal use case for this is to select “just use the same name,” but this has been an issue for people I work with who don’t know to select the other option.

    So, it feels like this is a bug or unintended behavior, where uploading a file with the same name winds up creating a new file name rather than keeping it the same.

    Hey digitalcharlie,

    The ‘-1’, ‘-2’ and so on are not added by our plugin, but by WordPress. I’m afraid this is something we cannot control; WordPress adds them to files if it sees that another one exists on the same path with the same filename. I’m also not sure why that happens only to some of the images, so I would recommend you going to the Fixing WordPress forum: https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    Thanks!
