    I can’t think of any reason. The only other thing that may touch media is litespeed plugin.

    Hi, @blazmate,

    Can you please clarify what you mean by “old files”? Do you mean files on the file system or references to the image on your pages?

    Either way, could you please tell us, step by step how to reproduce this? It would be useful if you could let us know what plugins you are using and what version too.

    Thank you,

    I goto file A
    Drop in file B to replace

    In Media Library I can see now I have B
    In filesys I have A-100×100.jpg
    A.jpg

    It did remove the webp files. Which litespeed plugin creates.

    blazmate, I am sorry, but I still don’t fully understand the steps to reproduce the issue. Can you please elaborate on this?

    • What WebP files are you talking about?
    • Could you please share a screen recording of the issue, showing both the media library and the file system before and after the replacement has been done?
    • Could you share with us a list of all your installed plugins and their versions?

    Thank you,

    I made a test site, inside I have these plugins

    Custom Post Type UI
Enable Media Replace
Slider Revolution
litespeed
WP File Manager
Yoast SEO

    litespeed plugin creates webp versions of jpg files
    https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/imageopt/

    Now I look closer I don’t think it’s related. Litespeed takes care of webp, the main file is what’s left behind.

    Here’s a test I did next with litespeed plugin both ON and OFF
    The file left is actually different each time. Is it because those sizes are made by other random plugins?

    Hi, blazmate,

    First, you can take out of the equation the WebP files. Enable Media Replace cannot know how those WebP files were generated, and therefore it will not replace them. So basically you need to re-optimize those images (once replaced) in order to generate again the WebP files.

    Now, about the 100×70 and 60×60 thumbnails, can you tell me what generates them?

    Thank you,

    60×60 I’m guessing Featured Image Admin Thumb
    100x maybe CSS3 Responsive Compare Pricing Tables?

    Hi blazmate,

    I don’t know about CSS3 Responsive Compare Pricing Tables (I don’t have a license for it), but I just installed Featured Image Admin Thumb, and I tried to replace an image and it worked for all the files.

    This is the original upload: https://i.imgur.com/jpgLdCT.png
    And this is after I replaced the image (see the 60×60 file): https://i.imgur.com/mN0Qmub.png

    I’m not sure what can be happening, but if we can’t reproduce the issue I’m afraid I wouldn’t know how to help you ??

    Maybe you can try deactivating all plugins except Enable Media Replace, and then activate them one by one while uploading and replacing images until you detect what plugin is causing the issue?

    Thanks,

    found this if it helps

    [09-Feb-2021 23:22:08 UTC] PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /wp-content/plugins/media-file-renamer/classes/rest.php on line 246

    That’s not from us, blazmate ?? Our plugin is in the folder enable-media-replace, not media-file-renamer.

    Oh ignore the log thing then.
