There is a bug with replacing media, and this is what it is…

When replacing a PDF I found that after replacing the media “disappeared.” The file was still in uploads, the post was still there, the relationship was still valid, but…the _wp_attachment_metadata serialized array is missing in wp_postmeta for the post_id of the replaced media.

I see a lot of people having this issue. You will need to rebuild this missing record and the file will appear as it should.
