Replace uploaded media ID instead

  • Awesome plugin – but there’s one major drawback that makes it useless for most use cases.

    Example when using a front end form to upload an image – this maps the uploaded Media ID to the required fields for featured image or custom fields etc.

    What would make this plugin useful is if it can replace the existing .heic file’s allocated ID with the new .webp

    so instead of
    .heic = ID = 1234
    .webp = ID = 1235

    needs to be
    .heic = ID = 1234
    .webp = ID = 1234 (replaces the .heic file with the .webp)

    Hope you can make this work!

    Sure, this would be a great feature. Right now, the plugin saves attachment IDs in meta key _heic_support_copy_of on both the uploaded .heic and the generated .webp attachment posts.

    I thought about this feature. I decided that launching without on/off switch was too intrusive, and having settings was too complicated. I would very much enjoy adding this feature. Hopefully it happens!

    I’m marking this topic not a support question because it is a feature request.

    +1 on this. A great feature wold be a setting to replace the id and also remove the heic-image from the media gallery after conversion.

    Thanks for your awesome work!

    If either are you are still using this plugin and capable of retrieving the new version from github, I’d love your feedback before I launch the update here www.remarpro.com. Thanks.
