  How do I replace the photo on a post with a different photo? I can only see how to add….not replace

  ps….I see there’s a “media replace” download…but when I try to install it requires payment as a winzip file.

  Hi, there is no specific tool to replace a photo with a different one, so you can just delete the old photo and add a new one in its place. Just let me know if you run into any issues with this process and I’ll be glad to help further.

  I see there’s a “media replace” download…but when I try to install it requires payment as a winzip file.

  It sounds like you might be looking at a plugin for a self-hosted WordPress.org installation, not something for WordPress.com. You’ve reached support for the free blogs hosted at WordPress.com. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  Just let me know if you need more help. Thanks!

  Thanks…I guess I’ll try that, but does that mean any followers get a notice of a new post when it’s essentially the same one, only a better version of the picture?

  If you edit an already published post, your followers shouldn’t get another notification when you make an edit to that post, whether you’re replacing a photo or making a text edit.
