 * Hi, I may misunderstand how this plugin works and am hoping that someone can 
   help me understand what I can expect and what not or help me fix my problems.
 * I’m trying to build a truly stateless WordPress instance using docker containers
   and kubernetes. in order to do that I need to either load all medial library 
   content into the container image, which makes it impossible to dynamically load
   new content into a running instance and persist it beyond the containers lifespan
   or use an external cloud storage as Google cloud storage with a plugin that redirects
   all urls pointing to the media library content to the storage bucket.
    Using 
   this plugin I was hoping to have found a solution but it doesn’t really seem 
   to work. I have restored a few hundred files into a running container, then synchronised
   them using WP-Stateless into my Google cloud storage bucket successfully and 
   finally enabled the plugin in stateless mode. We are using a custom frontend 
   plugin which uses the WordPress rest api to consume content. Loading any of these
   images or pdf files seems to continue to load them directly from the media library.
   When I restart the container or scale the number of replicas (instances), it 
   naturally boots without any of the content files and even though the plugin is
   still enabled and set to stateless mode, i don’t see any of the images or pdf
   files any longer. They do exist in the Google storage bucket though.
 * Am I missing something?
 * Thanks,
    olaf

 * Hi [@olaflexemo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olaflexemo/),
    Your suggested
   changes for **the_content_filter** will be in next release. Can you check with
   other types of non image file other than PDF? Maybe other plugin causing problem.
