描述
By default WordPress doesn’t overwrite an existing file if you upload a new one with the same name and directory. Instead, it appends a number to the end of the filename in order to make it unique, e.g., filename.jpg becomes filename1.jpg.
That isn’t always the desired behavior, so this plugin makes it so that any files uploaded will automatically overwrite existing files in the same folder, rather than creating a second file with a unique name. It will not overwrite files in other folders.
After activating the plugin, you won’t need to do anything else, it’ll start working automatically. If you run into problems, please check the FAQ and existing support forum posts before opening a new support request.
安裝
For help installing this (or any other) WordPress plugin, please read the Managing Plugins article on the Codex.
Once the plugin is installed and activated, it will start to work automatically.
常見問題
-
Why do I see multiple copies of the file in the Media Library
-
WordPress allows files to have the same name if they’re not in the same directory. So,
wp-content/uploads/2013/11/pizza.jpgcan live alongsidewp-content/uploads/2013/12/pizza.jpg. This plugin only deletes existing files if they are in the same folder that the new file will be placed in. -
Can I make a donation to support the plugin?
-
I do this as a way to give back to the WordPress community, so I don’t want to take any donations, but if you’d like to give something I’d encourage you to make a microloan with Kiva.
-
Do you support this plugin?
-
I’m happy to fix reproducible bugs, but I don’t have time to help you customize the plugin to fit your specific needs.
