All images moved to S3, but not all URL's updated?

  • First, thank you for the free version of this Plugin, and for your time!

    I got all my images uploaded to S3, but not all of the URL’s on my site are pointing there after installing and activating the Plugin. So those images are appearing as broken (I enabled delete local version, and yes I confirmed the files are there) because they’re still looking for them on the server.

    I don’t know what I did wrong in setup? I know I can do a find and replace in the db, but I’d prefer to know what step I missed.

    Thanks for your time!

    Have you turned on the option to serve URLs from S3?

    Yup.

    Are the URLs that are not pointing to S3 for attachments that were uploaded before you installed the plugin?

    Where are the links situated – in the content of posts?

    Thanks again for your time.

    Nope. I manually migrated all of the preexisting ones and then did a find and replace of the database to point from local to the remote.

    And yes, the src images are all in Post content. As far as I can tell none of them are hard coded into the Theme or anything like that. What’s unusual though is that some images still point locally even though I cannot see any local database references.

    The site has a private front end but I can provide you access with links to the pages in question.

    May I know the table you altered with the new s3 url,is it the wp_post table under the guild column?.

    .. or you searched and replaced the content of your posts with the new s3 url?

    Hey @phpcentre,

    We didn’t modify a specific table actually, we just did a global find and replace via a text editor.

    @the Portland Company

    I believe the pro version of this plugin will handle what you are trying to do here.It will not only process your preexisting media files,it will also do a proper search and replace of the url of those preexisting media files that have been previously saved in post content with their new s3 url. Having said that,since you did a global search and replace, pick one of those posts with the broken images,go to the edit page of the post,check whether your search and replace did actually change the url of the images to s3 url?
