Title: Media Cloud for Bunny CDN, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean and more Author: interfacelab Published: July 12, 2016 Last modified: April 9, 2024 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/ilab-media-tools/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=2795439) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/ilab-media-tools/assets/icon.svg?rev=2795439) # Media Cloud for Bunny CDN, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean and more By [interfacelab](https://profiles.wordpress.org/interfacelab/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ilab-media-tools.4.6.4.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ilab-media-tools/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ilab-media-tools/#reviews) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ilab-media-tools/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ilab-media-tools/) ## Description Media cloud is a revolutionary plug-in for WordPress that will supercharge the performance of your website and radically transform the way that you work with media in WordPress. Media Cloud works by moving your images, media and other files from your WordPress server to online cloud storage such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, DreamHost Object Storage and many others. You can then serve that media through a CDN like Amazon Cloud front, Cloudflare, Fastly and others. Beyond cloud storage, Media Cloud also has deep integration with Imgix, the leading real-time image manipulation and optimization CDN. Media Cloud is the first plugin for WordPress to bring the full benefit of what Imgix offers – simplifying your development efforts, reducing your site’s page load times and opening up creative options that simply haven’t existed until now. Media Cloud also provides advanced image editing tools that provide improved cropping options, effects, filters, watermarking and more. **NOTE**: This plugin requires PHP 7.1 or higher #### Upload to S3, Cloudflare R2, Minio, Google Cloud Storage, Digital Ocean Spaces, DreamHost Object Storage and others Automatically copy media uploads to the cloud and serve them directly from your cloud storage provider, CloudFront or any other CDN. #### Video Encoding with Mux Upload videos and encode them nearly instantly to adaptive bitrate HLS that plays back smoothly and beautifully on any device regardless of bandwidth.

This plugin is the best integration available for WordPress. Upload your images to S3 with our S3 tool and then host the media with Imgix, providing you with real-time image processing and automatic format delivery. Forget ImageMagick, Imgix is light years ahead in quality and speed. #### Native support for Google Cloud Storage Now supports using Google Cloud Storage for uploads without having to use Google’s S3 compatible interop mode. #### Automatically Tag, Categorize and Caption with Amazon Rekognition Use Amazon’s latest AI tools to tag and categorize your images when uploading to Amazon S3. With Rekognition, you can automatically detect objects, scenes, and faces in images. #### Advanced Image Editing When integrating with [Imgix](https://imgix.com), Media Cloud by ILAB provides the most advanced WordPress image editor.

WP Offload Media provides a very small subset of everything Media Cloud provides. This plugin is an essential part of our own development stack when creating WordPress solutions for our clients and as client needs grow around media, and dealing with media in WordPress, Media Cloud gains new features and improvements. ### Why should I use Imgix? One of the headaches of managing a WordPress site is dealing with server disk space. If you just use the S3 functionality of this plugin, you are already one step ahead. Using S3, all of your media is centrally located in one place that you can then distribute through a high performing content delivery network to improve page load speeds for your site. You also don’t have to worry about disk space on your servers anymore. Imgix is a content delivery network with a twist. In addition to distributing your media, it also allows you to edit them, in real-time. and deliver the edited version through their CDN without altering the original. Want to add a new image size to your theme? You can do this with Imgix without having to use a plugin to recut all of your existing media to this new size. Imgix optimizes format delivery and a bunch of other things. It’s seriously the greatest thing to happen to WordPress and web development in the history of ever. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ee2f33ca5476dc36a95c0e495317666fdb6121624ef16ad17883c3d0fdf48c1f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[error con Web Stories de google](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-con-web-stories-de-google/)󠁿 [fullcompras](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fullcompras/) May 15, 2025 Funciona muy bien, pero veo que tiene problema con el plugin Web Stories de google, espero corrijan eso ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1f0321a6d61fb1bdbaff45492977057fb0bdd31bb26b98001584fe7cba03292b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-40472/)󠁿 [pnem](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pnem/) May 4, 2025 Fantastic plugin. Support doesn’t respond quickly (or sometimes ever). But the plugin works great. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e441e04f6b950a4657dfee21d05c6a6b330b50a95e7c3fcb93a81aad2991e0f4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Promising features, but no support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/promising-features-but-no-support/)󠁿 [sergio01870](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergio01870/) March 25, 2025 We have subscribed to the paid version and for a month send several support questions and still no reply. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3a737e8ab973c8de94f0f8fc77b4ae111283e4193661c4c7ae06abdc9e026869? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Abysmal support with ridiculous refund policy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-support-and-plugin-11/)󠁿 [techdaddies](https://profiles.wordpress.org/techdaddies/) March 1, 2025 We purchased the pro version of the plugin for a client site about a year ago. We encountered multiple bugs in the plugin and the author was originally responsive. Then we encountered something larger and they went MIA. Never heard from them again so we stopped using the plugin entirely and switched to something else. Yesterday we received an email that our license had been renewed. Prior to this email, we had not received a single notification about an upcoming invoice or renewal. About 1 hour after our card was charged for the renewal, I contacted them to request a refund and they respond that their refund policy is that I only have 14 days AFTER THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE to request a refund. IE, even though I’m requesting a refund of this renewal charge about 1 hour after the charge hit, that’s too late. I should have requested the refund within 14 days of the original purchase. This is a blatant money grab for Jon and whomever else is on their team. They will bill you for a renewal without warning you that the renewal is coming, hoping that you won’t realize, and will then fall back on their “14 day” policy to refuse you a refund of your renewal fees. In short, ridiculous. Find another plugin with an author with some sort of integrity. Because this one isn’t it. Avoid. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/44fe0b6e4cb844b05d76a904cee6a99d14ff879fffd758f8dfd9374e47ac9f10? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This stuff really works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-stuff-really-works/)󠁿 [smastromattei](https://profiles.wordpress.org/smastromattei/) November 9, 2024 Great plugin, configured Cloudflare R2 with one minute. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/80f0a8151ab509c26e6a6bcb359021bc3135b1a6a299e63348347b79dafe7b31? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[BY FAR THE BEST MEDIA OFFLOAD PLUGIN FOR WP! EVEN SO, IT HAS BEEN ABANDONED 🙁](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-must-have-for-media-based-sites/)󠁿 [nikola888](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikola888/) September 15, 2024 I started developing my app with MediaCloud and I was amazed about how great this plugin is built. Not only the UI but also the huge amount of settings which MediaCloud offers is just awesome. They really thought about every single detail and I can only imagine how much effort has been invested in this project. Also, the support was really good and pretty quick helping me get some issues fixed. Once set, MediaCloud works like a charm. Backend and frontend uploads work perfectly. All image dimensions are served in backend and frontend without a single issue. Also, XML uploads with WP All Import work without a single issue. Plus, MediaCloud, BESIDES OF NOT SLOWING DOWN YOUR WP, IT REALLY INCREASES SPEED AND PERFORMANCE! Unfortunately, THE PLUGIN HAS BEEN ABANDONED. This was a big hit for me as 90% of my app is based on media files managing infinite amounts. I was so angry and disappointed as I was only a few weeks away from launching, that I changed my plugin-review from 5 to 1 star. And now, I’m changing it again to 5 stars! There are 2 reasons: 1. I hope that this review reaches MediaCloud ‘s developer to serve him/them like a small light at the end of the tunnel. I would be the happiest guy in the world if MediaCloud celebrates itss comeback! Reason nr. 2: I’ve spent one month now testing all existing plugins for offloading media files and there is no single one which could be close by far to MediaCloud. Right now, there are 2 categories of available plugins: In one, there’s a plugin whose brand includes the word “brains” and who are trying to take over the whole market for their app. Besides of having a really disgusting name & logo, they are charging such insane amounts of money that you can actually buy a brand new MacBook M3. Also, they’re limiting the number of uploads if you prefer to buy a new MacBook instead of paying their fake “lifetime” license which only includes updates during the first year. The second category of available plugins are trying to provide solutions which are simply not working. They are not only slowing down your WP, they ALL are having huge issues with compatibilities and not only that, also images are not served properly braking your frames, slowing down significantly the upload speed and a really laaaaaarge etcetera. Those like me, who understand the huge importance of outsourcing media files to the cloud, can only hope that MediaCloud will get back and continue such an insanely great project. Once people realize, how important serving media files via cloud + CDN actually is, MediaCloud will be the big rockstar on the sky!

Due to an issue with our build process Gutenberg blocks were excluded * Updated Freemius SDK * Fixed issue with weird dialogs displaying in admin (missing CSS files due to new build process) #### 4.6.3 – 04/03/2024 * Added `Ignore Errors` option to migrate task to continue processing even if errors occurred during import. * Added `--ignore-errors` switch to `wp mediacloud:storage migrate` command (see above) #### 4.6.2 – 03/22/2024 * Fix for Bunny CDN region list #### 4.6.1 – 03/22/2024 * Added beta support for Bunny CDN as a storage provider. - Note that Bunny CDN doesn’t support ACLs so it can’t do signed URLs like other cloud storage providers, so it is not suitable for WooCommerce, EDD or anything else where you want to protect individual files. - You can protect directories though and any files in a specified directory will be signed. This is probably a moving target feature wise. - Also note that this works differently then Bunny’s WordPress plugin. Bunny’s plugin works via pull where Media Cloud is push (it uploads your media to Bunny CDN). Which way is better is up to you to decide, though you can’t use Bunny’s plugin in a dev environment or on a localhost during dev. * Added documentation for Bunny CDN * Fixed Migrate to Mux task. * Migrating media now migrates .webp and .avif files regardless of what plugin generated them. * Fixes for some PHP 8.2 errors and notices. #### 4.5.27 – 03/13/2024 * Fix for assets tool where bucket name appears in URL. * PUSH Asset mode deprecated. PUSH mode was meant for edge cases and PULL mode is superior in every way. Will display warning if you have it enabled in PUSH mode. #### 4.5.26 – 03/10/2024 * Fix for assets tool. #### 4.5.25 – 03/10/2024 * Update Freemius SDK * Fix for deprecation notices * Fix for issue with mux shortcode * Fix for bug in storage tool #### 4.5.24 – 09/27/2023 * Fix Clean Uploads task to deal with crusty databases that have URLs in the _wp_attached_file meta field. * Added `media-cloud/storage/verify/settings` filter to enable skipping cloud storage settings verification. Only use this if you are using a strict IAM policy that prevents Media Cloud from verifying your settings. * System compatibility test now takes upload prefix into account when testing cloud storage * Deprecate Wasabi. Wasabi is not a suitable cloud storage provider for Media Cloud’s purpose. If you are using Wasabi currently, nothing will change. If you are not using Wasabi, you will not be able to add it as a cloud storage provider. #### 4.5.23 – 09/07/2023 * Massive performance improvement for multisite. * Some fixes for PHP 8.2. Still don’t recommend using 8.2 with WordPress. 8.1 and 8.0 work fine though. #### 4.5.21 – 07/21/2023 * IMPORTANT: This includes an important security fix for a third party lib. Please update ASAP. * Added missing us-west-1 region to Rekognition #### 4.5.20 – 12/12/2022 * Media Cloud can now offload elementor form submission uploads to cloud storage. You must enable this in the **Integrations** settings. (Premium) * Added a task **Migrated Elementor Forms** to migrate existing form submission uploads to cloud storage. (Premium) #### 4.5.19 – 12/9/2022 * Added `--skip-processed` flag to `mediacloud:storage makewebp` command to skip any attachments that already have webp metadata associated with them. (Premium) * Added a setting to _Cloud Storage_ settings called _Force WebP_ that forces Media Cloud to return .webp urls for images that have webp metadata associated with them. Note this does not do any sort of content negotiation or browser sniffing, it simply returns the webp url for the image. Consider that only IE 11 and much older versions of Safari do not support webp. #### 4.5.17 – 12/8/2022 * Added `wp mediacloud:storage syncAllLocal` command to download all cloud storage files to your local server. * Added integration for WPForms to automatically upload files to the cloud. (Premium) * Added task to migrate existing WPForms entries to cloud storage. (Premium) * Added new **Generate EWW WebP** task to generate webp files from images on cloud storage. EWWW Image Optimization plugin must be installed and activated and working in local mode (NOT cloud mode). (Premium) * Added `wp mediacloud:storage makewebp` command to generate webp files using EWWW( see above). (Premium) * Updated Freemius to latest version. #### 4.5.16 – 12/4/2022 * Added integration for Gravity Forms to automatically upload files to the cloud.( Premium) * Added task to migrate existing Gravity Forms entries to cloud storage. (Premium) #### 4.5.15 – 12/1/2022 * Fix for edge case when migrating Offload Media and Leopard Offload links. #### 4.5.14 – 11/30/2022 * Media Cloud will now import setting from Leopard Offload if you are upgrading. This only works for S3 and S3 compatible cloud storage. If you are using Google, you will have to set that up manually. * When upgrading from Leopard Offload, your links will be migrated as needed, but you can manually run a background task to do them all in one go. * If using Leopard Offload with WooCommerce, after migrating to Media Cloud you must run the command line tool `wp mediacloud:integrations fixLeopardWooLinks` to replace the weird link shortcode that Leopard Offload uses. This tool is only in the premium version. (Premium) #### 4.5.12 – 11/25/2022 * Workaround for a bug in Fluent Forms when Fluent Support is integrated with Fluent Forms, for example when you are creating tickets in Fluent Support via a Fluent Form. (Premium) * Give a different error message if PHP_MAJOR_VERSION is not defined. * Updated to latest Freemius version. #### 4.5.11 – 11/09/2022 * Fix for StorageImageEditor class that should improve compatibility with other plugins using the image editor but storing the results in non-standard places. Should fix problems with a variety of form and social plugins (Gravity, Peepso, others). #### 4.5.10 – 11/09/2022 * Fix for broken Crop, Edit Image and Replace Image buttons in the media library. * Fix for issue with image URLs #### 4.5.9 – 11/08/2022 * Fixed a bug with the AWS SDK with DigitalOcean that resulted in urls missing the scheme (eg the https:// part). This bug seems to be with the AWS SDK MultiRegionClient and not with Media Cloud. * Fixed another AWS SDK MultiRegionClient bug where the path style endpoint setting was being ignored. #### 4.5.7 – 11/07/2022 * Fixed internal help links * Updated support links (bye bye Freshdesk!) #### 4.5.6 – 11/04/2022 * (Premium) Integration for Fluent Forms plugin. Offload image and file uploads to cloud storage. * (Premium) Integration for Fluent Support plugin. Offloads ticket attachments to cloud storage. #### 4.5.5 – 10/31/2022 * Admin notices are now only shown to users with the `manage_options` capability. * (Premium) Direct Uploads for Cloudflare R2 has been implemented. **IMPORTANT**: You must set up CORS on your bucket and that process is mildly convoluted. Please see this video tutorial for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =7_4Q0WQVNUI #### 4.5.4 – 10/29/2022 * Fix for assets tool in push mode * Added option for assets tool in pull mode to process rendered page to force assets to be pulled from CDN for scripts and styles that are included on the page in non-standard ways * New assets tool tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYHHjO27tng #### 4.5.3 – 10/15/2022 * Fix for compatability issue with WP All Import Pro * Added new Wasabi regions #### 4.5.2 – 10/15/2022 * Fix for compatability issue with Presto Player #### 4.5.1 – 10/11/2022 * Integration for WP All Import Pro. When enabled, during an import, Media Cloud will not process any images imported during the process. This is to prevent the import from timing out. After the import is complete, a Migrate to Cloud Storage task is run to move the imported media to the cloud. * Image Optimization will not work with the WP All Import Pro integration. It’s recommended that you use the EWWW plugin for image optimization if that’s something you need. #### 4.5.0 – 10/7/2022 * Support for Cloudflare Storage R2. * Cloudflare R2 does not support direct uploads though we will be working on it in the future. * R2 also does not support signed URLs, but that is a limitation of R2 and not Media Cloud’s integration with it. #### 4.4.4 – 10/7/2022 * The video player front-end javascript files are now only included on pages that use the player. If you run into issues with this, you can set a toggle in the settings to always include the scripts. Note that for Elementor users, the player scripts are always included because there isn’t a reliable mechanism to tell if a player is being used on a page before it’s too late to enqueue the scripts. You can blame Elementor for this. * The elementor video player widget was removed from the previous version on accident, it has been included again. * Fix for asset tool * Fix for `block_categories` deprecation warning (thanks @joshuafredrickson) #### 4.4.3 – 10/5/2022 * Ability to specify colors for video.js player in the Video Player settings. #### 4.4.2 – 10/2/2022 * Fixes for PHP 8.x compatibility * Implement changing poster image for video files * Fixed how additional buttons are displayed on attachment detail pages * Fixed downloading video with video player * Fix for getting rendition URL for mux encoded videos * Updated video.js library to 7.20.3 * Updated related video.js plugins to latest versions * Fix mux transfer task to work with large files and give better feedback. Note: Mux transfers wait until the mp4 renditions are encoded by mux before transferring. This can take a while for large files. * Remove preflight admin notice * Added support for Supabase Storage. This support is only provided for specific development scenarios, you should not use Supabase Storage for general purpose storage because you think it’s inexpensive. Supabase Storage support is for when you need to _integrate_ with an application already using Supabase. * Added a new `Transfer Mux Video` task that allows you to transfer encoded videos from Mux to cloud or local storage to serve the videos from other services and CDNs instead of Mux. Use Mux to encode, serve the result elsewhere. * Added a `Regenerate Filmstrip` task to generate new filmstrips for Mux encoded videos that might not have had them generated. * The Gutenberg block now supports outputting the video’s dimension to insure that there isn’t any reflow on document load. * Fixed INFO log messages with regards to PHP 8.1. * Transferred Mux videos display HLS logo instead of the Mux logo in the media library. * In the list view in the Media Library, the Mux or HLS logo is now displayed. * The `Relink Mux Video` task will relink any videos that were transferred with the `Transfer Mux Video` task unless they’ve been deleted on Mux. * You can setup Media Cloud to automatically transfer Mux encoded videos to local or cloud storage after they’ve finished being encoded by Mux. * Added `wp mediacloud:video transfer` command to transfer videos from Mux to cloud or local storage. * Added `wp mediacloud:video relink` command to relink videos that were transferred from Mux to local or cloud storage. * Added toggle to `Video Player` settings to replace the WordPress admin default video player with the native video player using HLS.js. This allows you to preview Mux encoded videos in the admin without having to create a post. * Added toggle to override the default WordPress video shortcode and replace it with the Media Cloud Video Player. You should, however, consider switching to the Media Cloud Video Player shortcode instead because it performs better. * The Elementor Media Cloud Video Player widget now supports playing non-Mux videos. * Added `hls` object to WP REST Attachment object that includes the playlist url, poster image url, filmstrip url, width, height, duration, mp4 fallback rendition url and subtitles. * Added the ability to add captions (via a VTT text file) to any video, regardless if it’s Mux encoded or not. This feature is available on the edit detail screen for a video attachment. You must be using the Media Cloud Video Player feature. * Removed `yuloh/bccomp-polyfill` dependency. #### 4.4.0 – 4/7/2022 * **IMPORTANT**: This release has a breaking change if you are using the **Mux/ Video Encoding** feature. If you are using the video.js or hls.js video player, you will need to enable the separate _Video Player_ feature to continue using those players. There will be a notification in WordPress admin warning you about this, but only if it applies to you. * Upgraded video.js player to latest 7.19.0 * Upgraded hls.js player to latest 1.1.5 * Separated the video player into it’s own feature from the video encoding feature. * Video player now supports playing any uploaded videos, not just Mux encoded videos. * You can now allow video downloads for logged in users only in _Video Player Settings_ * The Video Player gutenberg block allows you to override the download setting for an individual video. * Filmstrip generation can now be enabled regardless of video player in use. #### 4.3.11 – 3/8/2022 * Added new option to imgix to disable `urlencode()` the filename which may cause issues for certain unicode characters in filenames. If imgix is working fine for you, you should not turn this on. * Fixed missing regions in the setup wizard for Wasabi #### 4.3.9 – 3/4/2022 * Fixed Imagify API integration. #### 4.3.8 – 3/2/2022 * Update to latest AWS SDK. Fixes critical issue where deleting items from cloud storage would fail due to a bug in the SDK. If you are using S3 or S3 compatible storage, you need to upgrade to this. * Fixed a misspelling in the wizard #### 4.3.7 – 3/1/2022 * Various fixes for **BuddyBoss** and **BuddyPress** * **Migrate to Cloud** task will now copy BuddyBoss media that isn’t related to profile images or cover photos, meaning any media uploaded to timelines, groups, forums, etc. Use the Migrate BuddyPress task for cover photos and profile images. * Fixed a caching issue for BuddyBoss/BuddyPress where changing cover images where would not update the cover photo. * Full support for BuddyBoss’s video and document uploads. * **Note** if you want to delete uploads from your local server, you will need to turn on both **Delete Uploads** in **Cloud Storage Settings** and **Delete Uploads** in the BuddyPress integration settings. * Fixed a bug preventing the background delete task for BuddyPress from working. #### 4.3.6 – 3/1/2022 * Critical fix for some libraries that were not being imported correctly. On some systems this would cause a fatal error depending on what other plugins you had installed. #### 4.3.4 – 2/28/2022 * **NOW REQUIRES PHP 7.4** Installing on PHP < 7.4 will not work and result in errors. * Fixed an issue that would prevent certain tasks from running * Sign up to be notified about our new product for WordPress coming in April 2022: [Preflight for WordPress](https://preflight.ju.mp) * Fixed compatibility with BuddyPress 6.x * Fixed compatibility with BuddyBoss 1.8.x including video. **Note:** Mux encoding does not work with BuddyBoss and it’s impossible to make it work. You can have it enabled and Mux will encode videos but the videos that are played on the front end will be the uploaded MP4 source. It’s best to turn Mux off if you are using it with BuddyBoss. * Added new Wasabi and S3 regions. * All third party libraries have been updated to the latest versions. * Fixed MUX gutenberg block registration * Filmstrip generation with Mux now warns you if GD is not installed * Media Cloud now makes **EWWW Image Optimizer** run during the upload process which fixes a lot of issues with other plugins like Elementor. You can disable this in **Cloud Storage Settings** if your uploads have become unbearably slow. * Fixed compatibility with **EWWW Image Optimizer** bulk optimizer. * Generated `.webp` file names are stored in S3 metadata. * `.webp` files are deleted from cloud storage when deleting an upload. * When queueing deletes, you can now specify the delay in minutes before items in the queue get processed. * Built-in image optimizer now properly queues deletes if that setting is enabled. * For the free version, if you are using Elementor with an image optimizer that isn’t **EWWW Image Optimizer**, you are going to have problems and that configuration isn’t supported. You should consider a switch to EWWW or upgrading to the premium version. * For the premium version, if you are using Elementor with an image optimizer that isn’t **EWWW Image Optimizer**, make sure to turn on **Queue Deletes** in **Cloud Storage Settings** and **Auto Update Elementor** in **Integration Settings**. * Fix for images specified in the customizer when using the Astra theme. * PDF thumbnails generated with the ImageMagick extension are now uploaded to cloud storage properly. * Fixed an error with PDF uploads and ImageMagick that would prevent the PDF from being uploaded to cloud storage in certain circumstances. * Fixed the Render PDF functionality of imgix to now properly render PDFs. * Large PDF uploads would cause a fatal memory error on some systems. Now, you can now upload PDFs of any size without issues (subject to WordPress and web server limitations). * PDF upload speed should be greatly improved. If you don’t care about generating PDF preview images, you can improve it even more by turning off **Extract PDF Page Size** in the **Image and PDF Upload Handling** section of **Cloud Storage Settings**. * Added a new setting **Background Only When Using the Media Library** that, when enabled, limits image optimizations to only run in the background when using the WordPress Media Library pages in the admin, otherwise the image optimizations will run during the upload. Enabling this could improve compatibility with some plugins. * Image Optimizations that fail would prevent the upload from being transferred to cloud storage. That has been fixed. * Updated the Imagify Image Optimization driver. * Background optimizations now start a lot a sooner. * Added **Update URLs** task to search and replace URLs in the WordPress database. * Added a switch to the **Migrate to Cloud** task that will do a search and replace for migrated URLs during the migration process. * When files are deleted from the server, everything about the deletion is now logged when debugging is enabled. * Fixed issues with WordPress 5.8 and 5.9 * Fixed compatibility with PHP 7.4 and 8.0 * Updated latest Freemius SDK #### 4.2.37 – 6/22/2021 * Fixed an issue when running tasks that contained no data. * Fixes for Google Web Stories integration (Premium). #### 4.2.36 – 6/20/2021 * Added new options to Rebuild Thumbnails task. You can now specify which media items get rebuilt; either all of them, only those that are missing sizes or those that are missing specific sizes. * You can now specify which image sizes get regenerated. You can specify either all of the image sizes, only the ones missing or a single specific size. * In **WordPress Admin -> Media Cloud -> Settings** in the **Batch Processing** tab, you can now defer execution of any tasks that you trigger from the bulk action drop-down in the Media Library list view. This is useful if you need to process a variety of items spread out across multiple pages but don’t want to queue a bunch of single tasks to do so. * The **Fix Cloud Metadata** task will now allow you to specify only to work on items that are missing cloud metadata. * You can now select which images to process with the **Sync Local** task. * A new batch action for the **Sync Local** task has added to the Media Library’s list view. It’s called **Download to Local Server** * The Media Cloud task heartbeat will now only be sent one time per user per browser regardless of the number of open tabs or windows. Previously, if an administrator had 15 tabs open in the same browser, it would send 15 heartbeats. Now only 1 tab will send a heartbeat and when that tab is closed, another open tab will take over sending the heartbeat. Note that heartbeats are only sent by administrator level users or users with the `mcloud_heartbeat` permission. * Fixed a javascript error with the real time debug log viewer. * Rebuild thumbnails will now correctly rebuild thumbnails when Imgix is enabled. * Minor UI tweaks. #### 4.2.35 – 6/17/2021 * Fixed Replace Image functionality which would fail to work on certain versions of MySQL due to an SQL query being used being not compatible. * Added a drop down to control how tags are managed when replacing an image. Controls if they should be merged, replaced or do nothing. Default is Replace. * Replacing an image now replaces the title of the attachment. * Removed option to delete media after migration because too many people were shooting themselves in the foot. After a successful migration, it’s important you check to make sure your media has been migrated successfully and then run a Clean Uploads task after to remove files from your server. * Removed `--delete-migrated` from `wp mediacloud:storage migrateToCloud` command. * Fixed a warning for `Logger.php` #### 4.2.34 – 6/17/2021 * Added a toggle to make the **Debug Log** display log entries in realtime. * Added a toggle to **Batch Processing** settings that allows you to disable your theme and any plugins when processing items in the background. Turning this on will not effect your front-end or WordPress admin, it’s only applied when Media Cloud is processing a task in the background. If you are having issues running the migration or import task, try enabling this option. #### 4.2.33 – 6/15/2021 * Fix for video and audio short codes using Classic Editor when using a storage provider with a path style endpoint and pre-signed URLs. * New warning that you are using a path style endpoint with DigitalOcean when you don’t need to. The only time you’d need to do that is if your bucket contains a period, for example your bucket’s name is `my.bucket.is.cool`. * Fix for php NOTICE warnings for imgix images with malformed metadata. #### 4.2.32 – 6/13/2021 * Fix for **Import from Cloud** task where it would show an error that there was nothing to import. * Fix for tasks not updating the progress UI in certain instances. * Fix for errors with the `set_time_limit()` function on systems where that function is disabled. * Fix for error with Smart Slider integration. #### 4.2.31 – 6/8/2021 * Fix for Imgix with BuddyPress avatars and cover images.

Will be removed in future versions of Media Cloud. * Added a warning if you have **Replace srcset on image tags** enabled. * **Cloud Tools** menu renamed **Cloud Tasks**. * Fix for custom defined image sizes in the **Image Size Manager** not showing up in the WordPress media selector. (Premium) #### 4.2.30 – 6/7/2021 * Complete overhaul of BuddyPress and BuddyBoss integration. (Premium) * Added a new _Migrate BuddyPress Uploads_ task which will migrate existing avatar and cover images to cloud storage. Previously, Media Cloud would migrate these as they were requested on the front end. (Premium) * Added a new WP-ClI command, `wp mediacloud:buddypress migrate` that wraps the _Migrate BuddyPress Uploads_ task. (Premium) * Renamed Computer Vision WP-CLI command from `wp vision` to `wp mediacloud:vision`. * Renamed the task manager WP-CLI command from `wp taskmanager` to `wp mediacloud: tasks`. * Fixed bug for when you have privacy for uploads set to private, but don’t have signing enabled, the error message wasn’t dismissible. * Added new setting _Enable Real Time Processing_ to BuddyPress integration that controls the real-time uploading of avatar and cover images. When disabled, you must run the _Migrate BuddyPress Uploads_ task manually to upload these things to cloud storage. (Premium) * Fixed compatibility with rtMedia for BuddyPress. (Premium) * Fixed the `mediacloud:storage replace` command to search all wordpress tables, including custom ones. (Premium) * **Note:** if you are using rtMedia with BuddyPress, you will need to run the CLI command `mediacloud:storage replace` after running the _Migrate to Cloud_ task. You will only need to do this once. (Premium) #### 4.2.29 – 5/25/2021 * Fix for `x-amz-bucket-region` notices * Easy Digital Downloads now download as files instead of opening as images or videos in the browser. (Premium) #### 4.2.28 – 5/14/2021 * Fix for NOTICE errors with srcset generation #### 4.2.27 – 5/8/2021 * Fix for potential fatal crash with certain integrations #### 4.2.26 – 5/8/2021 * Fix for compatibility with Root’s Sage theme framework * HOT FIX: Fix for fatal error if Beaver Builder Pro is installed and Compatibility Manager is enabled. * Fix for EDD integration with variable product pricing * Added option to EDD integration that enables downloading the original unscaled image when the download is an image. #### 4.2.23 – 5/5/2021 * More fixes for srcset generation. * Ability to turn off `ixlib` and `wpsize` query parameters for imgix image URLs. To disable these query parameters, toggle _Remove Extra Query Variables_ off in Imgix settings. * You can now specify the default cropping mode and crop origin for imgix images in the _Imgix Settings_. This crop mode and origin will be overridden for manually cropped images or images that have had their crop mode set in the _Image Editor_. #### 4.2.22 – 5/3/2021 * Fix for srcset generation with Imgix. * _System Check_ has been renamed _System Test_ * Added a plugin/theme check to the _System Test_ that pinpoints any _potential_( emphasis on potential) issues with activated plugins or your current theme. * Added a new _Compatibility Manager_ tool that allows you to disable hooks in other plugins or themes that might be causing issues with Media Cloud. You must enable this tool in Cloud Storage Settings in the Advanced Settings panel. Once activated, this tool will show you all the hooks that are activated on your WordPress install that might interfere with Media Cloud. **Note that just because a plugin or theme shows up in the list, this does not mean it’s incompatible. You should only use this tool if directed by Media Cloud support**. * Cleaned up the _Debug Log_ UI * The _System Test_ now allows you to run a single specific test instead of having to run all tests every time. #### 4.2.20 – 4/17/2021 * Added SFO3 region to DigitalOcean setup wizard * Added a new top level menu item to WordPress admin called _Cloud Tools_ that contains all of Media Cloud’s tools and tasks. The main Media Cloud menu was getting way too large. This only affects non-multisite WordPress sites. * You can turn off the _Cloud Tools_ menu, reverting to previous behavior, in _Cloud Storage Settings_ in the _Display Settings_ section. #### 4.2.18 – 4/15/2021 * New feature allows you to upload a new image file to replace an existing one.( Premium Only) * Added buttons to various media screens to regenerate thumbnails for the media being viewed.

If you are using the premium version, this does not affect you. #### 4.2.7 – 3/15/2021 * You can specify different privacy levels to different image sizes defined in your theme using the Image Size Manager. This is useful if you are selling stock photos and want to make high-res variations private until sale. * Added a new setting for Imgix, **Serve Private Images**. When enabled, private images, or image sizes that have had their privacy level set to private, will be rendered through imgix. When disabled, any private images or private image sizes will be served from cloud storage using signed URLs, if that’s enabled. * If you change the privacy for an image size, make sure to run the **Update Image Privacy** task that can be found in the **Task Manager**. * Fix for direct uploads when the upload doesn’t have a mime type, for example .
