Description

The Enable Media Replace extension synchronizes library file replacements with the SearchWP index, automatically reindexing the new content whenever you replace an image, PDF, audio, or document through the Enable Media Replace plugin. Designed for those who maintain active media libraries and use SearchWP to index documents, it ensures search results always reflect the currently published file, without manual index rebuilding.
