 * Hi,
 * At the moment when I upload new files to the media library and these already 
   exist, WordPress will automatically extend the new file name with “-1”.
    What
   I am looking for is that it will replace the current file with the new uploaded
   one and keeping all current links/associations it has with a product for example.
 * Hopefully I have been able to explain my self 🙂
 * Regards,

 * Thanks for your request, which has come up before, most recently in this topic:
 * [Bulk update, do not crash ID-numbers](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bulk-update-do-not-crash-id-numbers/#post-10515993)
 * You can find more information about replacing media files in that topic and the
   earlier topics it links to. As you will see, MLA does not have any features to
   do this but there are other plugins you can use to accomplish your goal.
 * I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems
   or further questions regarding the information in the earlier topics. Thanks 
   for your interest in MLA.
