Thanks for the input. (being verbose for archival purposes should someone come upon this question someday)

For most of my data/architecture, I’ve gone with custom post type so that I can utilize WP features and other plugins (such as adding a rating/review feature later), which can be displayed. This also allows for each Brand and Product to have it’s own page created in WP in order to utilize said features and functionality, that is why we use WP isn’t it :-), and I don’t want to have to re-invent the wheel ding it homegrown (my old world, which is why I ask these questions).

As for the Pods plugin or using something else… I have played pretty extensively with both at this point. While the commercial plugins may be a bit more polished, they have limited functionality, often designed for you to buy add-ons to get that function. Sure Pods has a steeper learning curve which I’m fighting, but it is far more flexible. I am creating a master/list/detail price comparison site with it now (or trying to figure it out ?? )

Data that needs to be updated and acted upon (i.e. scraped pricing data that needs to be matched up to products) will be done in an Advanced Content Type (ACT) using it’s own database table. And while matching to a CPT isn’t optimal, that data can be exported to a separate table specifically for that purpose since products don’t change that often and the gain/benefit of the WP features on an actual system post (i.e. can use comments, reviews, etc. as mentioned above) outweigh the negatives.

I am having this problem as of 4/24/19, and have deleted and re-done everything per the instructions (new user, buckets (done form inside plugin, not from console), etc.)

“Access Denied” is on the settings page and the plugin doesn’t work ??

I am running into this problem still (4/24/19), and I even deleted everything, recreated a new IAM User per the instructions, and created a new bucket from inside Offload Media Lite…

Still says “Access Denied” ??
