Biggest opportunity: Swap “change attachment file” and “download image” for “replace” and “deleting”. “change attachment file” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “replace” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “download image” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “deleting” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 600 of 17.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,764 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 4 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Finalmente un plugin che da la possibilità di sostituire le immagini via url
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Alex 六十 Karpov2.3y ago
I think you miss regeneration. Cleaning cache is unhelpful. Kindly add manual image regeneration please. Awesom plugin!

I’ve been migrating an image gallery of about 9000 images collected since 2006, from a third party gallery, to Foo Gallery. It’s been a laborious manual process. Along the way, I find images that need some simple editing, and re-uploading. But neither Foo Gallery nor wordpress allows for a basic image replacement. So I tried this, and it works very easily. It does take a little time and a few refreshes for the new image to appear correctly in Foo Gallery (deleting the WP cache helps), but I’m very pleased with the result.

This little plugin is a real gem! Small, simple and effective. Very neat! Only one thing I would add, the option to replace ‘Product gallery’ images for products (WooCommerce) from ‘Edit product’ screen.

“Easy Replace Image” m’a permis de remplacer rapidement une image en trois cliques sans devoir revoir ou corriger l’ensemble des pages sur lesquelles se retrouvait l’image en question. Cependant, j’ai constaté que les modifications ne s’affichaient pas sur le navigateur de travail (Chrome), mais tout était OK sur les navigateurs témoins (firefox et Microsoft Edge). Après avoir vidé le cache de chrome tout était OK. Merci Julia Cazan pour votre travail. This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by Paul Noël.
