Featured Images not showing up after moving media to Amazon S3

I think I may have found the culprit. Network Posts Extended adds the subdomain to the featured image URL, but this doesn’t work for Amazon S3.

For example, Network Posts Extended will try to draw a featured image from https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/charlie.weathertogether.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/09/Mt-Rainier-Webcam-September-Snow-150×150.jpg, but the correct URL is https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/weathertogether.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/09/Mt-Rainier-Webcam-September-Snow-150×150.jpg.

Let me see if I can create a patch.

Could you do me a favor and add this to the .htaccess file and see if it fixes the issue? If it doesn’t I’ll work on a patch.

#Force non-subdomain:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/charlie.weathertogether.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/weathertogether.net/$1 [L,R=301]

Unfortunately, the .htaccess code doesn’t work. If you could make a patch, I would be very thankful. Since this is a multisite install, it would have to cover all subdomains, not just charlie.weathertogether.net.

Thank you so much,
Charlie

I have made an update. In the settings area there’s a checkbox that says Don’t touch image url. That must be checked on each subdomain that wants to use any external place that will hold your images.

Please try it out and let me know if it works.

It works brilliantly! Thank you SO SO much!!!
