Not Replacing the enlarged image

By Tony Hisir (copperrefections) on April 19, 2022

Hi, I love your plugin. Thank you. We have about 2,000 images that we would like to replace with higher resolution ones. Your plugin is replacing the image nicely with the new High-Resolution one for the product but it is not replacing the enlarged one. When clicked on the product image, it looks all pixelated. It is still using the old, low-resolution one and when it enlarges the low resolution bigger image looks pixelated. How can I fix this? It will also be great if it deletes the old, replaced ones. Thanks, Tony

Did not work

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">Previous review was "Doesn't always replace other sizes."</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p class="">Tried this plugin again. This time it just didn't work at all. Drag and drop to replace did not work, and then when I had the image selected, clicking the button to continue did nothing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

It was a long time I was looking for this kind of functionality. Very good job! Thank you for this awesome pluing. I suggest to add the possibility to replace the images with images that are already in the media library.

very good
