Smart Media Replacement is a WordPress plugin that allows you to replace media files while maintaining their original URLs and metadata. This is particularly useful for updating files like PDFs, images, or other documents without breaking existing links, especially when organizing media in year and month based folders.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Replace media files while maintaining original URLs</li>
<li>Preserves all existing links (both internal and external)</li>
<li>Maintains file metadata and relationships</li>
<li>Simple and intuitive interface in the WordPress Media Library</li>
<li>Supports all file types supported by WordPress</li>
<li>Validates file names to prevent accidental URL changes</li>
<li>Enforces dimension matching for images to prevent layout issues</li>
<li>Automatically handles WordPress scaled images</li>
<li>Validates file type matching to ensure consistency</li>
<li>AJAX-based replacement with error handling</li>
</ul>
<h4>Important Requirements</h4>
Filename Matching 
The new file MUST have exactly the same filename as the original file. For example, if your original file is <code>logo.png</code>, your replacement must also be named <code>logo.png</code>.
Image Dimensions (Images Only) 
For images, the replacement MUST have identical dimensions (width × height) to prevent layout issues.
File Types 
The replacement file must be the same file type as the original. The plugin validates MIME types to ensure consistency.
<h4>Privacy</h4>
This plugin: 
* Does not collect or transmit any user data 
* Does not use cookies 
* Only processes files locally on your server 
* Does not communicate with external services
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to the WordPress Media Library</li>
<li>Find the file you want to replace</li>
<li>Click on the file to view its details</li>
<li>Look for the “Replace File” button in the attachment details</li>
<li>Click “Replace File” and select your new file</li>
<li>The replacement will happen automatically</li>
</ol>

Smart Media Replacement

Replace media files while maintaining their original URLs and metadata. Update PDFs, images, or documents without breaking existing links.

This plugin allows you to define words or phrases that, whenever they appear in your posts or pages, get automatically linked to the URLs of your choosing. For instance, wherever you may mention the word “WordPress”, that can get automatically linked as “<a href="https://wordpress.org" rel="ugc">WordPress</a>“.
Additional features of the plugin controlled via settings and filters:
<ul>
<li>Text linkification can be enabled for comments (it isn’t by default)</li>
<li>Text linkification can be made case sensitive (it isn’t by default)</li>
<li>Text linkification can be limited to doing only one linkification per term, per post (by default, all occurrences of a term are linkified)</li>
<li>Text linkification links can be set to open in a new window (it isn’t by default)</li>
</ul>
You can also link multiple terms to the same link and only define that link once in the settings via use of a special link syntax.
A number of filters exist to programmatically customize the behavior of the plugin, all of which are documented.

<h3>Hooks</h3>
The plugin exposes a number of filters for hooking. Typically, code making use of filters should ideally be put into a mu-plugin or site-specific plugin (which is beyond the scope of this readme to explain). Bear in mind that most of the features controlled by these filters are configurable via the plugin’s settings page. These filters are likely only of interest to advanced users able to code.
c2c_linkify_text_filters (filter)
The ‘c2c_linkify_text_filters’ hook allows you to customize what hooks get text linkification applied to them.
Arguments:
<ul>
<li>$hooks (array): Array of hooks that will be text linkified.</li>
</ul>
Example:
<pre><code>/**
 * Enables text linkification for custom fields.
 *
 * @param array $filters The filters handled by the Linkify Text plugin.
 */
function more_text_replacements( $filters ) {
 $filters[] = 'the_meta'; // Here you could put in the name of any filter you want
 return $filters;
}
add_filter( 'c2c_linkify_text_filters', 'more_text_replacements' );
</code></pre>
c2c_linkify_text_comments (filter)
The ‘c2c_linkify_text_comments’ hook allows you to customize or override the setting indicating if text linkification should be enabled in comments.
Arguments:
<ul>
<li>$state (bool): Either true or false indicating if text linkification is enabled for comments. The default value will be the value set via the plugin’s settings page.</li>
</ul>

 */
function my_text_linkifications( $text_to_links ) {
 // Add text link
 $text_to_links['Matt Mullenweg'] => 'https://ma.tt';

 // Unset a text link that we never want defined
 if ( isset( $text_to_links['WordPress'] ) ) {
 unset( $text_to_links['WordPress'] );
 }

 // Important! Return the changes.
 return $text_to_links;

function selectively_disable_text_linkification( $display_link, $old_text, $link_for_text, $text_to_link ) {
