Wrong url’s

Clarification:

I run the sync. The image url’s in frontend are changed to e.g. “https://storage.googleapis.com/test-bucket/2024/03/2024/02/image.jpg”

And no images has been uploaded to the bucket.

Did you manipulate your database yourself via a find and replace? Perhaps you got your find/replace string wrong.

No I’ve done nothing to the database my self. Should I?
The wrong url appears after I run the sync.

Is the sync suppose to upload the existing uploads to the bucket?

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?

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”

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.

Perhaps there is another plugin or your theme is somehow conflicting. Are you able to disable other plugins and do a test to confirm?

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

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.

About the url’s.

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

But unfortunately, no images are uploaded.

Also the wp_sm_sync table is always empty.

One idea for me is to set the folder setting to: /
Then I upload all folders manually to the bucket.
Then I run the sync to get all url’s pointed to the bucket instead of locally.———–
The alternative is to only have the wp-stateless plugin activated and not sync at all, instead I have something like this in the functions.php

add_filter('wp_get_attachment_url', function($url, $attachment_id) {
  $newUrl = str_replace(home_url('wp-content/uploads'), BUCKET_URL, $url);
  return $newUrl;
}, 99, 2);

I understand that the sync is creating a post_meta. 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

Hello @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

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 (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.

Thanks!

Hello, I have the same issue:
Connected with the Google bucket
Synced files (they are synced successfully), files in a bucket /year/month/file
When enabling stateless mode – browser tries to get <bucket_url>/<cur_year>/<cur_month>/<year_when_file_uploaded>/<month_of_upload>/filename

Hello @nenych,
A couple of questions:

1. What is the Access Control setting for your Google Storage Bucket? Is it Fine-grained or Uniform?

2. Also please open Edit page for any image in Image library and check Stateless section. There should be the list of image sizes with links. Is it present?

Thanks!

Access Control is Fine-grained
No, in the stateless section there is nothing, only the button “Regenerate and sync with GCS” (Does not work: Check your server configuration)

Hello @nenych ,

Thanks for the provided info and for posting you server status previously. But in addition could you please also paste the info copied from Media / Stateless Settings / Status, the Info section?

Thanks!
