Additional Media Cloud settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you’ve connected WordPress with your Object Storage, you are almost ready to test it out. However, before that, there are a few additional settings you might wish to enable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to the Cloud Storage<\/em> settings under the Media Cloud<\/em> menu and scroll down to Upload Handling<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here you can see a few helpful features that will allow you to utilise your Object Storage as if it were just an extension of your Cloud Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enable the settings you want. For the most streamlined experience, we recommend turning on the following options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
• Overwrite Existing Files<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Delete Uploaded Files<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Queue Deletes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Delete From Storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  You can read the descriptions for each option on your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Testing the file upload<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  Having created and connected your Object Storage instance, you are then ready to start uploading your files to it. You can now do this directly from your WordPress Media library!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Go to the Add New option for your Media section. Then click the Select Files<\/em> button or simply drag and drop files to the upload box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Once you’ve uploaded something, you should see a confirmation of the upload on the same page. You can then verify the upload was successful by viewing the files in your Object Storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  As you can see in the example above, WordPress scaled the uploaded image to a number of different sizes. You could then embed these into any of your WordPress pages or posts as if they were stored on your WordPress host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Conclusions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  Congratulations! You should now have integrated your Object Storage instance with your WordPress site greatly increasing your media usage possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
