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.
