Title: Wrong url’s Last modified: March 21, 2024 --- # Wrong url’s * Resolved [tangurin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tangurin/) * (@tangurin) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/) * Hello, * wp-stateless has connection with the bucket, I know that works. Also the permissions. * The problem is that the url’s are wrong. In the media library in admin i get url’s like: “…..test-bucket/2024/03/2024/03/” multiple year and month.In the frontend, the url’s are still pointing to local media. Many of my images are displayed from ACF content. * Can I just upload the images to the bucket, activate the plugin and the replace some url’s in the database? Is the plugin changing something in the database when running the sync? I think it’s the sync that duplicate the year/month. * Thanks in advance Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [tangurin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tangurin/) * (@tangurin) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17520723) * Clarification: * I run the sync. The image url’s in frontend are changed to e.g. “[https://storage.googleapis.com/test-bucket/](https://storage.googleapis.com/test-bucket/)** 2024/03/2024/02**/image.jpg” * And no images has been uploaded to the bucket. * Plugin Author [Eric Sopp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ideric/) * (@ideric) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17520841) * Did you manipulate your database yourself via a find and replace?

Should I? The wrong url appears after I run the sync. * Is the sync suppose to upload the existing uploads to the bucket? * Plugin Author [Eric Sopp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ideric/) * (@ideric) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17520979) * Not sure why this would happen. WP-Stateless uploads the file, and then stores the URL to the file on the attachment object. It’s a simple process. * What do you have set as your Folder path in WP-Stateless settings? And what is value presented in the “Preview” field in WP-Stateless settings? * Thread Starter [tangurin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tangurin/) * (@tangurin) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17520988) * Okey strange. * I’v did not change those values: * /%date_year/date_month%/ * “[https://storage.googleapis.com/bucket/2024/03/lu2pxsk1-your-image-name.jpeg”](https://storage.googleapis.com/bucket/2024/03/lu2pxsk1-your-image-name.jpeg”); * It has only been a problem when I use sync. not when I upload a new image. And to be clear, when I run the sync, no images are transferred to the bucket. * Plugin Author [Eric Sopp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ideric/) * (@ideric) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17521030) * Perhaps there is another plugin or your theme is somehow conflicting. Are you able to disable other plugins and do a test to confirm? * Thread Starter [tangurin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tangurin/) * (@tangurin) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17525171) * Hello, * I ran a complete test now with no plugins, only my theme with my images I have locally. 1. I start with a empty bucket. A wordpress 6.4.3 with only wp-stateless plugin activated. Mode: Stateless. File url replacement: disable. Folder: Single site/ date_year/date_month/ 2. The database contains a lof of images and the uploads folder too. All images in the media library are showing from the uploads folder. 3. I go to Media -> Stateless settings -> Sync. At “Media Library Images” I find:“ Total Items: 5526”. I click do nothing else but click the button “Run”. 4. The status bar is showing up and the queued are increasing against the total number of files and the Processed are slowly counting up, as it should. 5. Right now when I am writing this, the processed is at “252”. If I go into the bucket at Google Console, there is no images uploaded. 6. When I look into the media library, the images are not working because the url’s are pointed to an empty bucket, but also with wrong urls /month/date/month/date. Multiple. This is the url of the first image: [https://storage.googleapis.com/xxx-offload-testing-bucket/2024/03/2024/03/DSC02044-scaled.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/xxx-offload-testing-bucket/2024/03/2024/03/DSC02044-scaled.jpg) * Still, there is no images in the bucket and the url’s are wrong. The problem is with the sync, because when I upload an image manually, it works. It uploads to the bucket and the url is correct. - This reply was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by [tangurin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tangurin/). * Thread Starter [tangurin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tangurin/) * (@tangurin) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17525191) * About the url’s. * I tried to change the setting “folder” to only a “/”.

Will this slow down the site in some way? I mean will there be a sql query for each media to get the bucket url? If that’s the reality, then I guess my second option with the add_filter() would be a better choice to improve the performance of the site. * **Please tell me what you think of these alternatives and if there will be a performance cost to use the plugin instead of add_filter**. * Thanks in advance * Plugin Author [Oleksii Bolhunovskyi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obolgun/) * (@obolgun) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-urls-4/#post-17538301) * Hello [@tangurin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tangurin/), * Thank you for the provided info and tests that you made so far. This is very strange situation, I’ve made some tests and I’m not able to reproduce  /%year%/% month%/ duplication for any files. * > I tried to change the setting “folder” to only a “/”. > Instead of /%month%/% > date%/ > When I sync the url’s are correct: > [https://storage.googleapis.com/xxx-offload-testing-bucket/2024/03/DSC02080-scaled.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/xxx-offload-testing-bucket/2024/03/DSC02080-scaled.jpg) * No, this is also not correct. If the folder is set to “/” the resulting image URL should be [https://storage.googleapis.com/xxx-offload-testing-bucket/DSC02080-scaled.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/xxx-offload-testing-bucket/DSC02080-scaled.jpg)( without year/month part). * This brings me to the idea that “2024/03” is considered as a part of the image file name. So the file name in your system is **2024/03/DSC02080-scaled.jpg** but in order to work correctly it should be just **DSC02080-scaled.jpg**. For now I have no idea how this can happen. * Could you please provide us the info about your system? In WordPress please go to “Tools”/”Site Health”/”Info”, next click on the “Copy site info to clipboard” button and send the result to us.
