Images deleted from media library no longer show in post

  • Hello,

    When I upload a featured product image (Woocommerce) through the media library, it copies the image correctly to S3. But when I delete it from my media library, the featured image disappears.

    I hope I’m missing something obvious, but it seems wildly illogical to have a plugin that is supposed to save space on my server, but it only works if the image has to be on the server *and* in S3, thereby doubling the space required, not to mention the effort!

    Thanks!
    Nancy

    P.S. I’m thinking a plugin that serves featured image from a URL is a more elegant solution here. In fact, I think the S3 browser will let me export URLs, which will be convenient to copy and paste.

    Please confirm what you mean by “when I delete it from my media library”?

    If you mean turning on WP Offload Media’s “Remove Files From Server” setting? Then what URL is the featured image trying to use when not displaying, and what URL should it be using?

    If you mean you actually go into the Media Library and “Delete Permanently”? Then no, please don’t do that, WP Offload Media only works with properly registered Media Library items.
