Upload to CDN without loading from CDN

Hello @issacchua

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
You can exclude specific folders and files from being uploaded to the CDN and also, you can remove the extensions of the theme files you do not want to be uploaded to the CDN.
In Performance>CDN>Advanced, remove all image files extensions from:
wp-includes file types to upload:
Theme file types to upload:

Aso, in the Rejected files list, add the path of the files/folder you wish to exclude:
for example /wp-content/uploads/

I hope this helps!

Hi Marko,

Thanks for your reply. I actually wanted the images to upload to CDN, however, on the website, we still display the file served from local. (I know I know, it is a weird request to ask…)

So to give an example, when I upload a file in media library, I would like the file to be uploaded to CDN as well. However, on my web page that displays the image, I want that image to load from local host instead of CDN. Hopefully, there is an option that allowed me to do such switch.

Hello @issacchua

Thank you for your feedback.
As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, you can add the path of the file you wish to exclude being served from the CDN in Prerformance>CDN>Advanced>Rejected files:
for example:
/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/image.jpeg
make sure to save all settings and purge the cache.
Thanks!

Yes, that works! Thanks Marco!

I need to figure out the regex to exclude everything in the upload directory with different subdirectories now.

Hello @issacchua

You are most welcome.
You can use placeholders and exclude specific directories:

{uploads_dir}/date/sub-folder1/
{uploads_dir}/date/sub-folder2/

Thanks!

Hi Marko,

It actually can be as simple as:

/

I am using this works as well:

^(.*\/)([^\/]*)$
