## Description

**Be careful when using this plugin.**

Sometimes you may need to update files, like product or property photos, without
deleting old one before uploading new one. In such cases you can use this plugin
to replace old files with new ones.

OverWrite It makes a filename search in `wp-content\uploads` folder recursively 
and replaces first matching file with the uploading one.

Keep in mind there is no excluded files, folders or file types so **double check
everything before uploading anything** while the plugin is active.
