BM1 Frontend Image Replace lets you swap out images on your WordPress site without ever touching the admin panel. Simply hover over any image on the frontend, click, and upload a replacement.

Perfect for:

  • Replacing demo or placeholder images during development
  • Letting clients review and update images without backend access
  • Quick image swaps during content reviews

How it works:

  1. Enable the plugin in Settings > BM1 Frontend Image Replace
  2. Visit any page on your site
  3. Hover over an image — a replace overlay appears
  4. Click and select a new image from your computer
  5. The new image is uploaded to the media library and all references in your content are updated automatically

Free features:

  • Works with any theme — no template modifications needed
  • Uploads new images to the WordPress media library (the original stays untouched)
  • Updates all references in post content
  • Supports Gutenberg block editor, Classic editor, and LiveCanvas
  • Lightweight — no jQuery dependency, minimal footprint
  • Translation-ready (including German)

Pro features (available at wp-frontend-image-replace.com):

  • Guest access via shareable temporary links (with expiry)
  • Activity log for all image replacements (Tools > Image Replace Log)
  • Priority support

A premium version with extended features is available at wp-frontend-image-replace.com.
