Extension to store images to S3

  • Hello, I have the UM WP plugin. I’d like to store all user-uploaded images in S3 since it’s not scalable to store them all on the server. I write server code and could easily do this if it was my code base. How can I write an extension to achieve this: to intercept uploads, run my code to store them in S3, and modify the stored URL?

    Thanks

    Hi @timbergski

    UM is using the wp_upload_dir() and its filter hooks. It should work with other AWS storage plugins that use wp_upload_dir to modify the base directory path and URL.

    Hello, I tried the plugin “Offload Media Lite” (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/). When I upload a file to the media library, this plugin also uploads the file to S3 as expected, and uses the S3 URL. However, when I upload an image to the profile page from ultimate member, the URL is pointing at my server (as before) and nothing appears in my S3 bucket.

    I searched the S3 plugin’s code and it does call wp_upload_dir() multiple times (as one would expect) but I’m not sure what the filter hooks are (which you refer to), or whether it is calling them.

    Is there something else I need to do to make this plugin work, or should I be using a different plugin? How would I be able to tell what plugin is compatible?

    Many thanks.
