Wrong URL with CDN

  • My site uses a CDN-based URL for any image I upload, as soon as it is uploaded. Since the images haven’t been transferred to the CDN, I get a ‘missing image’ on my website.

    Moreover, unless I manually upload, images just don’t get sent to the CDN. The queue does not show errors.

    Perhaps the theme is creating a “non-standard” image size, and W3 doesn’t recognize this as a file to upload from wp-content? That would be very weird. Here’s the file that I’m currently having trouble with (note the 432×432 size):
    https://f3d2f3313d45b3a6cec5-9cccc87e0594dcb7d2bd367a3d3ec10d.r41.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mieke_hipsta-cropped1-432×432.jpg

    Note also, if I manually “import attachments into the media library”, I can see these files, but not the missing file. And, yes, the missing file does exist in the “wp-content/uploads/2014/10/” directory.

    wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mieke_hipsta-cropped1.jpg OK

    I’ve had this problem for a while with W3 Total cache, and I’m not the only one. Can this be fixed?

    (Note: my work-around is to add “wp-content/uploads/2014/*” to custom files in the CDN section, then manually upload the custom files.)

  • Origin push CDNs are a pain and notoriously hard to troubleshoot, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and frustration if you switch to an origin pull CDN product like MaxCDN.
