# Replace image doesn’t work

 * I have seen couple of topics with exact same issue, but no solution.
 * “Replace image” doesn’t replace the “preview thumbnail”, only the image that 
   you see after clicking.
 * Cache is cleared, deep refreshing, nothing helps.
    **The source for the thumbnail
   is not replaced in the database of the gallery! **
 * Can you do something about it? Removing image and adding another is not the solution,
   because when you want to replace an image inside the gallery it messes all the
   tile order 🙂

 * Hi,
    I looked at the plugin code, and added couple of lines in function replaceImage
   in admin/js/photoblocks.grid.js. It helped.
 *     ```
       selection.map(function(attachment) {
                 attachment = attachment.toJSON();
                 $block.data("conf").image.url = attachment.url;
       /* added lines */
                 $block.data("conf").image.id = attachment.id;
       	  if (attachment.sizes && attachment.sizes.thumbnail)
                     $block.data("conf").thumbnail = attachment.sizes.thumbnail.url;
                 if (attachment.sizes && attachment.sizes.large)
                     $block.data("conf").large = attachment.sizes.large.url;
       /* end of added lines */
                 $block.css({
                   backgroundImage: "url('" + attachment.url + "')"
                 })
               });
       ```
