Frequently asked question
update references
Are old image references updated automatically?
Yes. That's exactly what neo Replace was built for. When replacing a media file, existing references in the WordPress database are updated so the new image appears wherever the old image was embedded.
This is especially important if the filename, the file extension or the image format changes when replacing. neo Replace takes into account contents from posts and pages, post meta fields, WordPress options, ACF fields and data structures stored by page builders, among others.
This reduces broken image links, damaged media references and unnecessary manual follow-up work.
Relevant FAQs about updating references
WooCommerce
Can I replace product images in WooCommerce?Yes, neo Replace is compatible with WooCommerce and is well suited for replacing product images, gallery images and other shop media.
When you replace a product image in the WordPress media library, existing links remain intact and the new image can automatically appear in the places where the old product image was used before. This saves a lot of time, especially for larger shops, because images do not have to be exchanged in each product individually.
Preview image usages
Can I see where an image is used before replacing it?Yes, with the Pro version. neo Replace can show you before replacing which posts, pages or database fields use an image. This lets you see before the swap where the new image will later appear on your website.
This preview is especially useful for important media like hero images, product images, logos, PDFs, portfolio images or images on landing pages. You get more control over the replace process and can better assess which areas of your website are affected.
Redirects & references?
What happens to my existing image URLs after renaming?When renaming, neo Rename automatically updates all references in your WordPress database, including post content, ACF fields and even PHP arrays. Additionally, a 301 redirect ensures that the old image links already indexed by Google remain accessible. This keeps your SEO performance stable and prevents losing rankings due to broken links.
