  You can upload the image using that same file name, but since it’s April now it will be saved as 2014/04 instead of 2013/03.

  Yes I know that, but the point is that the url will not match, and therefore bloggers who have that url in their widget will be affected. Hence I wanted to replace like for like.

  I’m sorry, that won’t be possible. Those using the old link will high likely need to update its URL. Best practice is to let each image keep its unique URL. However, there are no restrictions if you set up a self-hosted WordPress installation. We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested:
