Upload the `media2url` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin directly through the **Plugins -> Add New** screen in WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Click on the **Media2URL** item in your WordPress admin menu. 4. Click **Connect Media2URL** to link your free or paid account via secure one-time authorization, or paste your API Token directly in Settings. 5. Once connected, open any file in your **Media Library** and click **Upload to Media2URL** to test cloud synchronization. ## FAQ ### Does Media2URL modify my existing image URLs directly in the WordPress database? No. Media2URL dynamically filters image URLs at runtime via official WordPress core filters (`wp_get_attachment_url`, `wp_get_attachment_image_src`, `wp_calculate_image_srcset`). Your database contents and original metadata structure remain completely untouched and standard. ### What happens if I deactivate or uninstall the plugin? Your WordPress attachment records remain intact. The plugin filters delivery URLs dynamically; deactivating the plugin immediately reverts image delivery to your local WordPress server files without any destructive changes to your post content. Remote files on Media2URL are never deleted when uninstalling the plugin. ### Is there an artificial trial or local paywall in this plugin? No. In accordance with WordPress.org Guideline 5, this plugin contains no trialware, no countdown timers, and no artificial local restrictions. Free accounts can use the plugin indefinitely within the limits of the standard Media2URL Free service plan. ### How does the one-time authorization flow work? When you connect, WordPress generates a secure state token and redirects you to Media2URL. Once you authorize the site, Media2URL redirects back with a single-use authorization code. WordPress exchanges this code directly with Media2URL over HTTPS to obtain a site-scoped API credential. Long-lived credentials are never exposed in browser URLs. ### Can I migrate my entire existing Media Library to Media2URL? Yes! Users with an eligible paid plan can use the built-in **Bulk Migration** tool to queue and process their entire media library in background batches with pause, resume, and failed item retry capabilities. ### What happens if an image is replaced on Media2URL? Using the **Asset Replacement** feature, updated images can be uploaded to replace existing assets while maintaining the exact same public URL and WordPress attachment ID, eliminating broken image links across external sites. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Media2URL: Cloud Media Storage & CDN” is open source software.
