[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Not automatically uploading all thumbnails to CDN

Just in case anyone has a similar problem to me, ive found a work around solution.

I’ve set W3TC to upload changed files every hour, and set “wp-content/upload/*” in my custom files list.

This however means that some of the thumbnails are still not displaying for anywhere up to an hour.

So to solve this, add this to your .htaccess files on your cdn domain

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|gif|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . http://www.mydomain.co.uk/%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
</IfModule>

This basically redirects any request for an image that doesn’t exist back to your main domain.

This has worked for me, but if your using a different set up, you may need to tweak it.

I would still like to know how i can make it automatically and instantly upload like the rest of the thumbnails though, so i would be grateful for any information

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Frederick,

I have it sent to auto upload changed files every hour.

And every hour, the missing thumbnails are uploaded. Im looking for a way to get all the thumbnails uploaded when they are created.

Also, It seems that the .htaccess file on my CDN is being overwritten by a default file.

This is causing my temp fix to stop working (as it gets rid of my file).

Is there a way to stop the .htaccess file from uploading to the cdn and overwriting my temp fix?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Frederick,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Im not too familiar with CDN technology, so i guess i’ll have to find a way to make this work for me.

Thanks again for your help on this

Mike
