Same bucket, same files, different websites

    Hi team,

    Thanks for nice plugin.

    One question: I have 7 websites, which mostly share same media (like 70%). I uploaded on one website so far (with versioning enabled). Now how it is possible to fully reuse same media, instead of uploading and duplicating (creating other versions of same image) ?

    Thanks

    Hi @raffiyeghiazaryan,

    Re-using the same offloaded media from separate sites is not possible unless the sites are purely duplicates of each other, with only one being used to offload the media, and the clones of that site not able to manage media.

    We do not recommend trying to do that though, it is very easy to break one site by accidentally removing or updating offloaded media from another, if the sites have their own databases.

    If the sites are exactly the same except for a domain name change, then we’d recommend using domain mapping on a single site.

    Otherwise, the safest bet is to manage each site’s media individually, unless they happen to just be staging or development versions: https://deliciousbrains.com/strategies-handling-large-wordpress-media-libraries-dev-staging-environments/
