Media replace not working for files of the same name

    Hi,

    I’m having an issue with replacing a file with a different file that has the same name. Basically, I’m trying to replace “test.pdf” with an updated file called “test.pdf” and it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried checking the URL with “?whatever” at the end to see if it is a caching issue but I still see the old file. If I rename the file “test-v2.pdf” then the file replacement works as expected.

    Any help would be appreciated. I’m not sure if this is something I’m doing wrong but I’d like to be able to replace a file with an updated file that has the same name.

    Thanks.

    Hi @hudyb,

    Can you please send us the URL of the PDF? Can you also send us the PDF that is supposed to be displayed (the “new” file)?

    Thank you,

    Just had the same experience – replacing a file with a file of the same name adds “-1” to the file name & URL.

    Hi,

    I am facing the same issue. I tried to replace the old image with the new image (with the same name and different name) but the plugin doesn’t seem to do the job. I tried adding the ‘?random” string but both the images are same so it doesn’t look like caching issue.

    Can you please help?
