This is not technically an alternative, but a workaround. For those DreamHosters who were using this, We pay for the DreamObjects service and it is such a useful plugin that helps us combine the Media Library with DreamObjects. I’m not sure what DreamHost has planned for the future of DreamObjects, but speaking with their support team, you can still direct the CName record to point to a link like cdn.mysite.com/image.jpg so everything could still work properly.
For those of you who were using this plugin, it was your daily routine of operations. For DreamHost to “end support” for DreamSpeed CDN doesn’t mean its the end for us who were actively using this plugin and have no alternatives, or why should we resort to using alternatives when DreamObjects is a great CDN source?
While the creator may no longer be supporting this plugin, there are ways to get around, so you can keep using DreamObjects. After all, we began using this plugin for a reason: to no longer have to upload files to our limited hard disks, but actually have CDN support. Honestly, it has really saved my ass from one or two website crashes this year. Having backed up the database fairly recently, I never even had to worry about any of the image files because they were stored on DreamObjects, so that is just extra peace of mind.
So… here is the alternative way to keep using this plugin:
1) Download the plugin
2) Extract and upload the AWS folder to your server
3) Create a new file called upload.php
4) The script you need is here: https://mypost.io/post/upload-to-dreamobjects-on-dreamhost
5) On your target PHP page, grab the key (filename) that was uploaded and use this URL manually as your img src.
This fix should do it for you.
If you use the Featured Image, you will have to use a plugin like: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/featured-image-from-url/
In my case, I am using Advanced Custom Fields where I enter the URL. So I hijacked my themes source files to detect for a thumbnail (already existing) and if it wasn’t detected, to check to see if that Featured Images variable (ACF) was not empty, and if it wasn’t empty, to use that URL as a featured image on my main page and on the single post pages too.
Note: You will no longer be using the actual Media Library built into WordPress. Once you get the URL, you will want to add the image URL to your posts immediately or keep track of everything you uploaded.
You can view an example of how everything is here: https://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com/
With the untrained eye, its barely noticeable, but for those who might suspect otherwise, you can tell there is a slight difference between a “WordPress Media Library Featured Image” and a “Advanced Custom Fields Featured Image”, but it is very passable and the code is nearly identical. There were just a few things I could not code in there, specifically with a property called srcset within the img attribute. Also, in choosing this method, it is unlikely that Jetpack’s Photon will be able to pick up those images, but since DreamObjects CDN is pretty fast, it shouldn’t be too much of a concern.
Yes, there is a little coding knowledge required, but it isn’t too hard to understand. Upload page -> Success / Fail page. That’s really all you need. Plug in your API keys, create your bucket, and make sure everything matches.
Hope this helps out anyone who had found themselves in a bind.
]]>I was able to fix this error myself, but I wanted to let you know about it.
File: dreamspeed/media/classes/dreamspeed.php
LINE 402
$url = $scheme . ‘://’ . $domain_base . ‘/’ . $dsobject[‘key’];
If somehow a file gets deleted from DreamObjects manually or doesn’t upload correctly, this line will still attempt to read it. Since it is empty, you will get a TYPE error.
To fix this error, simply check to ensure it is not empty.
if(!empty($dsobject[‘key’])) {
$url = $scheme . ‘://’ . $domain_base . ‘/’ . $dsobject[‘key’];
}
As a result, such as displaying a photo or a featured image, it will just show up as being blank.. nothing there. It is better to have this than to expose your errors on a live website.

https://thebloggingrapper.com/
https://thebloggingrapper.com/category/entertainment/tech-talk/page/3/
On the backend via editor I can see the “featured images” and etc but on the frontend, they’re broken.
Some images on the site I can see obviously. I wanna say they’re moved over but I’m not sure…
I’d prefer not doing any db commands because I’m a complete novice at that, I just want this plugin to work.
Can someone please look into this and help me?
]]>Is there anyway to have files from the theme folder copied into the dream objects bucket automatically or do we need to manually add these files into the bucket?
I have some videos in my theme and I’m using get_template_directory_uri(); to access the filepath. If I manually move these videos in my dream objects bucket how would I update the filepath in my theme?
I’m getting broken images on a number of my pages. Looking at the console I noticed that the image paths that are being served look odd:
When the images are being served correctly the path looks like:
https://i2.wp.com/tfcdn.objects.cdn.dream.io/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/imagehere.jpg
Do you know what would possibly cause the page to load the image paths incorrectly while some are fine? They’re all using the same page template.

@rickyprice – Pleas make a separate post for yourself. It’s incredibly hard (if not impossible) to help two people with DIFFERENT issues in one thread. And base don the things you’ve posted, I’m pretty sure you have a configuration error or a plugin conflict. The bottom line is this: If it DID work, and it mysteriously STOPS and resets itself (i.e. it lets you upload for a while, then it stops) then you have a conflict with one of your plugins or your theme, and the only way to determine which one is trial and error. By which I mean turning off ALL the plugins except DreamSpeed CDN and testing over and over. Except in your case, since it works for a while and stops, I doubt that would be effective. You have ‘something’ the DreamSpeed plugin doesn’t like, and it’s going to be insanely hard to figure out which one, if it’s possible at all.
There is a ticket in Dreamhost [enrgon5 133406810] CDN not uploaidng images. It has an admin log in so you can access the site.
The settings have not been touched
Vince has been working on it for a while. The problem started around April 4th, going back to that date I remember certain things happened:
1- The ammount of space was not enough in Dreampress and had to purchase an additional 10GB
2- If you go here https://adondeirhoy.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=dreamspeed-media you will see what Vince mentions in the last part of the ticket regading the alias in the CDN.
Hi,
Everything was working perfectly until recently.
I just noticed that the files served from my website (www.airmovie.fr) come from local and not from Dreamspeed CDN anymore.
I tried uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling, no success.
The files are still shown on the CDN side if I check in my media library.
Is that weird? What should I do?
Thanks a lot!
]]>Hi,
I am using Dreamspeed CDN and when I process images to make them optimized, the original file is usually already in my Dreamobjects bucket. So even if I have a newly optimized image on my server (having overwritten the previous), the website will keep displaying the old non-optimized image because that’s the one that is already in Dreamobjects.
Is there a way to force the re-upload of the new file to Dreamobjecta and overwrite of the old one?
If not, what would be the most efficient way to replace the old image by the optimized already in my /upload folder?
Thanks a lot!
]]>Hi!
I got Dreamspeed setup on my site (using a custom URL), then took a backup (BackupBuddy) and set it up on my local install (MAMP Stack). I want to disable the DreamSpeed CDN on this local install, but don’t have WP-CLI installed to run the wp-replace command. Do you know of an alternative method?
I tried using PHPMyAdmin to do a SQL search & replace for the string “cdn.thervgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads”, and that ran… but the site is still loading images from the CDN (src urls start with “https://i0.wp.com/cdn.thervgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads”).
Is there something I’m missing?
Thanks!
]]>I’m interested!
If I understand correctly, I continue to manage my (mostly jpeg image) resources through the WordPress media library, but the DreamSpeed plugin behind the scenes copies the files to regionally distributed DreamObjects buckets and seamlessly modifies the URLs – is that close anyway?
Is it safe to assume gallery plugins (EnviraGallery in my case) handle this gracefully?
Here’s what I need to know before I jump: is the metadata I have carefully added to each image in the media library (title, caption and alt text) preserved?
Thanks for clarification on this point.

Hi Mika,
I still show 26420 file(s) can be migrated to DreamSpeed on my site https://adondeirhoy.com. That is almost 50% of the images on the site.
Everytime I click on the Upload existing media button i get a 503 and only 5 files get uploaded.. this is actually frustrating as it would take forever for tehm to upload at this rate.
Any solution?
Thanks
]]>Hi,
Just activated the Dreamhost CDN and installed and configured the DreamSpeed plugin… but I have a question about the configuration: What does the “Serve accelerated files” option mean?
The description says: “Recommended. Results in fastest display of content. Requires you to activate DreamSpeed CDN in panel.”
But activating it precludes using a CDN alias (which I’d like to use).
Can someone explain this option a bit more… and maybe include why it is mutually-exclusive with a CDN Alias?
Thanks!
]]>Hello-
One more quick question on this. I am using an image optimization plugin (WP Smush). Is it possible to defer uploading an image to the CDN until after it has been processed?
Your plugin is really fast! It uploads the image to DreamObjects before the other plugin actually optimizes the image.
Currently I’m just leaving the “Copy files to DreamSpeed as they are uploaded to the Media Library” box unchecked until after the images have been processed. After uploading some images, then I go back and recheck the box and upload them.
Is there any way to make this process more streamlined? Either by deferring uploading the files to DreamObjects for x minutes, or making a “Upload New Items to CDN” button in the Admin bar that I can just click to fire off the upload process manually?
What do you think?
]]>All my images are loading fine with the upload and URL path rewrite to the new hostname (objects-us-west-1.dream.io). But my audio MP3’s, which are uploaded through Simple Fields Plugin are being served through the old hostname (objects.dreamhost.com).
If I edit the mp3 path from the old to the new hostname, the file loads fine.
I uninstalled/installed the plugin and did a complete bucket reset with no luck.
I also searched in the database, and could not find anything with the old hostname, just the new one.
Any known issues with non-images files?
]]>Greetings! Love the plugin so far!
Any luck getting the DreamSpeed CDN links working via https? I have a little blog project set up that I’m testing your plugin on. I have a test image in a DreamObjects bucket at:
https://objects-us-west-1.dream.io/cdn-meta-muncherelli/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/simpleimage.gif
This is the URL that is currently live to public visitors on my site. In order to CDNisize my gif, it needs to be pointing here instead:
https://cdn-meta-muncherelli.objects.cdn.dream.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/simpleimage.gif
I think this link over HTTPS works just fine!
I understand some people have been having trouble getting the DreamSpeed CDN to work without throwing an SSL cert error, however it seems to be working for me on this, and a few other sites I have tested it on without any issues.
Is there any way an option could be added to force the CDN url to be used? Yes, the file is being loaded from a different server, but I think the idea of using the DreamSpeed CDN is to get a geographically “close-ish” version of the file really fast.
I’d love to use this on all of my WordPress sites as I’m looking for a nice seamless CDN solution! The only thing holding me back is this issue.
Here’s a blog post I made on illustrating what I’m seeing:
https://meta.muncherelli.com/2017/testing-dreamspeed-cdn-plugin-ssl-https.html
Thoughts on this?
]]>I am setting this up for my site and notice that the media files are being served from objects.us-west-1.dream.io instead of from objects.cdn.dream.io. My site is using https, and all options are checked in the DreamSpeed plugin settings.
Is there a specific reason for this? I seem to understand from earlier threads that there was something relating to https not working. Is it so that *.objects.cdn.dream.io doesn’t work over https? It seems to for me, and I can’t see why there would be something wrong with the cert (unless it has something to do with wildcard certs, which would suck).
Anyway, I’d really prefer to have the images loaded from the cdn instead of from DreamObjects, as otherwise there isn’t much performance increase for me. Is there a way to do this?
]]>Hi Mika,
I’m trying to optimise all my images served by the CDN so that they load quicker. I’ve basically optimised all of the images on my local development server using EWWWIO,
So I uninstalled dreamspeed and wp search-replaced the URLs back to the dev site URLs. I then re-installed dreamspeed plugin and entered API keys for dreamobjects, using a new CDN bucket.
My thinking behind this was that it would see these as new images and start copying them over to the new CDN bucket, however now the images are ticked in the CDN column of Media section in WP still as before, but the links 404 as there are no files in the bucket.
Any help you could give me would be grand!
Cheers
Dan
]]>Hi there,
I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong while setting the Dreamspeed CDN plugin, but I looked at the documentation and support forum and haven’t found an answer yet.
I’ve been using this plugin on several sites for months and never had problems before, but I wasn’t using CDN, only DreamObjects buckets.
All the files in my Media Library have an URL like this:
https://objects-us-west-1.dream.io/xxxxxx/wp-content/uploads/xx/xx/filename.jpg
I’d like to use the CDN address like this:
https://objects.cdn.dream.io/xxxxxx/wp-content/uploads/xx/xx/filename.jpg
Am I doing something wrong in my settings?
Thanks for the help!
Hi Mika,
The site we’re using your plugin on is bpnww.no – which is addressing mainly the Scandinavian market. However, the CDN files are served from: https://objects-us-west-1.dream.io …
How can we make sure that, when browsing from Europe, the files will be served locally?
Thank you in advance,
Georg
Hello,
DreamHost support suggested this plugin to help migrate my site from an existing unlimited storage plan on an antiquated VPS to a new VPS with SSD and limited storage. My media library has about 65K images.
Aside from taking about 20 weeks to successfully move the media library to DreamObjects, what will happen when I hit the 20k limit on images?
]]>i’m able to upload the images fine using the media uploader. I checked my DreamObjects and can see the file loaded into the CDN great as well.
an image example is https://objects-us-west-1.dream.io/pkmedia/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1207-trump-main-300×250.jpg
However, in the media gallery it’s referencing the wrong url and not displaying the image in the media gallery, nor the front end.
an example that’s not showing correctly is https://pkmedia.objects.cdn.dream.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1207-trump-main-300×250.jpg
my bucket name is pkmedia, and i left everything else as default. can you let me knwo what setting i need to change to get it to show correctly on my wp site?
]]>Making a new post for the first time since the last plugin update, I now do not get pictures showing in the Media library view. It is pointing to the local storage rather than to the Dreamspeed CDN. I still get all the images properly on the front end, but when I try to add new media, it isn’t pointing to the CDN now.
I haven’t tried downgrading to the last good version – before I do that – is there anything else I should try? I am on multisite – if that makes any difference….
Website: https://memoriafoto.com/
]]>I have the green check mark on almost all of my images. From first page to the last page of images there are green check marks but I still have several red x’s.
You say “The uploader will automatically rerun itself on your images, no need to re-run!” Will it go back through automatically and get the images in the middle that it missed?
]]>So I just upgraded this plugin not too long ago.
But now, instead of my media URLs looking like this:
https://cdn.vanndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/jonbontvonesunsungfullepisode.jpg
They now look like this:
https:///wp-content/uploads/jonbontvonesunsungfullepisode.jpg
Any help with this issue will be appreciated.
]]>I have a limited amount of storage on my dreamhost vps account, which is why i went chose to use DreamSpeed. I see that the plugin will copy files from when they are uploaded to the media gallery over to my DreamSpeed bucket, but it doesn’t say what happens to the original uploaded images.
Are they kept on the host account, is it a cut and paste approach to put the files on dreamspeed (meaning they don’t stay on the host account they were uploaded to), or do they get deleted from the host account once they were copied to DreamSpeed? I hope that makes sense.
]]>Hello again,
I am using a plugin to optimze all media files. I noticed that this will not impact the actual files served because they are located inside the bucket and not in the media library?
How may I re-migrate the newly optimized media files to the plugin?
Thank you
