    Hi Does anyone know how I can access images that already exist in an S3 bucket?

    I have existing S3 storage that I am using for my first WordPress site. I have a second WordPress site that accesses the same S3 storage and bucket. How can I get my second WordPress site to access the older images in the S3 bucket??

    WordPress creates actual posts for each file you create so It won’t be able to automatically detect images that way. Unfortunately you can’t do what you’re asking unless the site is a clone of the other.

    A lot of people have asked for “importing” feature but it’s a tall order with a lot of edge cases. Until I get a client that has the need I can’t see myself building the feature out.

    Part of the problem, perhaps the biggest problem, is that you have to generate thumbnails and other image sizes. So you’d have to download from S3, then make all the different sizes and upload those sizes back to S3.

    Sorry!
