AWS EB, S3 & Media library thumbnail issue

Is it thumbnails to media uploads that are broken or other images in the admin like icons that come with WP?

If the latter, I had a similar issue that occurred when viewing the admin over HTTPS – it would loads assets over HTTP, causing them to not be displayed in the browser. Installing the plugin SSL Insecure Content Fixer fixed the issue.

Hi Erik, thanks for your reply! Yeah it’s specifically media upload thumbs, everything else seems fine.

On the frontend, images are calling the S3 bucket(and working great), but in the admin area I can see by inspecting the broken thumbs that they’re still pointing to the /wp-content/uploads folder within the EB instance :/

Hi all,

I got this problem too. When it got a response from admin-ajax.php it contains a url without replace to CDN, in my case S3 bucket url.

So, is this a bug or a configuration issue? I wonder if I need to go in and fix that on my side somehow by search-replace the urls?

Does anyone have any more insights on this?

Thanks, Peter
