Not Replacing the enlarged image
by Tony Hisir·3 years ago

Hi,
I love your plugin. Thank you.

We have about 2,000 images that we would like to replace with higher resolution ones. Your plugin is replacing the image nicely with the new High-Resolution one for the product but it is not replacing the enlarged one. When clicked on the product image, it looks all pixelated. It is still using the old, low-resolution one and when it enlarges the low resolution bigger image looks pixelated.

How can I fix this?

It will also be great if it deletes the old, replaced ones.

Thanks,
Tony

<p class=””>Tried this plugin again. This time it just didn’t work at all. Drag and drop to replace did not work, and then when I had the image selected, clicking the button to continue did nothing.</p>
