Overwrites stop working after WordPress updates
Overwrite Uploads silently stops replacing files after WordPress, PHP or plugin version updates, with no compatibility fix.

What's going wrong
Site owners who rely on this plugin to replace uploaded files report that it quietly stops working once they update WordPress, move to a newer PHP version, or upgrade the plugin itself. Uploads of a file with the same name keep both copies or leave the old file in place, and the plugin's last release predates several major WordPress versions. Some reviewers say they removed it and searched for another tool, while others would pay for a working version. The gap is a version-tested replacement that keeps working through core releases, with clear notes about which versions are supported.
