Frequently Asked Question
update references
Will old image references be updated automatically?
Yes. That is 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 during replacement. neo Replace takes into account, among other things, content from posts and pages, post meta fields, WordPress options, ACF fields and data structures stored by page builders.
This reduces broken image links, broken media references and unnecessary manual rework.

Relevant FAQs for 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 wherever the old product image was previously used. This saves a lot of time, especially in larger shops, because images do not need to be replaced individually in each product.
Preview image usage
Can I see where an image is used before replacing it?Yes, with the Pro version. neo Replace can show you before replacing where an image is used in posts, pages, or database fields. That way you can see in advance where the new image will later appear on your website.
This preview is particularly helpful for important media like hero images, product images, logos, PDFs, portfolio images, or images on landing pages. You gain more control over the replace process and can better assess which areas of your site 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 in 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 ranking losses due to broken links.
