  Hello,

  I have a question regarding an effective repalcement of a picture/image:

  My website has many pages. There is a kind of logo on every page, reffering to the same image in the background (a picture in my media library). I want to change this image, because this image gets small updates. The new image has the same name like the old image. I don’t want to edit every page with first deleting the old image and then adding the new image.
  My idea is to change the image in the background (in the media library?) and then the image at all pages gets updated automatically.

  How can I do this?

  Thanks for your help!

  You can’t do this. The content of a page doesn’t change when you make changes elsewhere. The image code of the page says display the image that has this URL, in such and such a way, and on wordpress.com there’s no way to upload an image and make it have the same URL with a previously uploaded image.

  If you’re going to need this again in the future, then instead of inserting the image the normal way you can insert it as a background image via CSS editing: then you’ll be able to change the image URL once for all in the CSS editor.
