Overwrite Uploads

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   It’s kind of working. I uploaded a bulk of 150 pix. all with a very simple name A10.jpg A11.jpg and so on. The Plugin worked. Some old versions of the images still remain in some part of the website. Maybe a caching problem…. But so far so good. PS: Newest Version of WordPress – Jan. 2020 und WooCommerce 2020…

   I used this plugin for years and found it super helpful but it doesn’t work any more with WordPress 5.2 and I had to de-install it. A pity it wasn’t maintained!

   This plugin seems incompatible with the current version of WordPress. I installed it and tried to upload an image to overwrite another one…and there was no change. WordPress preserved the initial upload just as it normally does.

   Couldn’t find any instructions on how this is supposed to work nor any trace of it inside admin after install and activation.

   Great plugin. Very simple to use, and it stops your media library getting cluttered up with old files. It also means you can keep the names of your local files and files on your website completely in sync.
