    Hi! I just configured CDN via Blob using your plugin on a new site. I copied the uploads director from the old site to blob but images are not displaying in media library and I see no thumbnails on post. How can I fix that?

    Hello @alexcatalin

    Thank you for reaching out.

    Just to confirm, you uploaded the images from the old website (different URL) to the blob and not have copied the images to the new website?

    Thanks!

    Hello @alexcatalin

    Thank you for the information.

    Well, this is a normal behavior in this case. When configuring a CDN from any website, the CDN fetches the information from the origin, rewrites the URL in order to use CDN URL, and serves the assets fetched from the origin from the CDN.

    In your case, you are trying to serve assets from a different origin on your CDN and show them on the new website.

    This is not how the CDN works.

    What you should do is to copy the uploads content to your new server, and then configure the CDN to serve the assets.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks!
