Ya, WordPress doesn’t have an abstracted filesystem like XenForo does, so we can’t just say everything going to the uploads folder goes to R2, instead we do need to hook into things upstream (which frankly is a pain in the ass), so the R2 stuff does work by hooking into the media system. I’ll...

Do you have an example of one of the plugins so I can go digging on it? It would be nice if they at least used a different prefix so someone could differentiate them.

Is the media flagged as being in R2 (orange cloud when browsing it in WordPress media system)? Ya, it’s not particularly great… their logging system is designed more for building specific queries and running those queries (it’s why Cloudflare itself doesn’t even let you see it in their normal...

Is the file in your local filesystem still? There wouldn’t really be a way to log things that *didn’t* happen. Once a logging system is in place, we could log things that did happen or we could log things that tried to happen but failed. For the failing part though, internally the mechanism...

Ya, it’s pretty unbelievable how bad it is internally. Building this plugin for it brought me close to losing my mind. See this thread: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/rant-about-wordpress.212371/

Probably something that could be sent to the error logging system once I get that sorted out. Did I mention how dumb I think it is that WordPress has no internal error logging system? 😀

Ya that’s what I was just going to say (the issue that the screenshot didn’t have a public URL). At one point the system did try to automatically fix issues like that, but it was causing more problems that it was solving (there are times where someone doesn’t want a domain reassigned to the...

Does that rsz_166666.gif object exist in the R2 bucket if you browse/search for it in the R2 dashboard?

Ya… we’ll see. The other issue is other sites (you may or may not own) could have referenced the original URL as well, so it’s always going to make sense to do the redirect even if it’s just to pick up “strays”.

It really just comes down to if people use the media block to add images to posts or not. It’s pretty common to not do it that way (I’m guilty of it myself). Some plugins inject images there own way, other times authors just use HTML to add <img /> tags. But ya… usually it’s themes or plugins...

Ya, it’s already on the to-do list. I do wish WordPress had a central logging system like other frameworks/platforms, but they don’t, so it’s a lot more involved. But it’s coming regardless.

If the images were added to posts via the media block, the URLs should update automatically. If it was some other method, they wouldn’t. It’s going to be a good idea to create a redirect rule to handle cases where they weren’t done with the media block. See this thread for how to do that...

The 15 media that didn’t get moved could be because there’s an issue with them to begin with. Usually this is because the local files that are supposed to be moved are missing for whatever reason (nothing to actually move when it tries). The short version is if it’s unable to find the file...

The from/to being the same is a purely cosmetic thing that was fixed already for the next version (purely cosmetic though, no underlying functionality is affected). Does the actual moving of media work? As far as Elementor notices, that looks like something unrelated (specifically some...

Ya that should be it. It’s definitely a non-standard way of doing it (I wouldn’t recommend doing it that way normally, best to use WP-CLI for most cases even if it’s not quite as fast). But yes.. that should work.

Yep, as long as you do the the modifications it would be good.

Honestly I haven’t tried it, but it would *probably* work (try it with a backup). The WP-CLI command has a specific option for the number of processes to use, so you can bump that up if your server can support it (it defaults to just a single process).

Are you able to locate one of the 3 in the media library (they are listed there at the bottom)? Can’t think of a reason that it would be skipping like that unless there was something internally wrong with those media items. If you pull up one of those media items in the WordPress admin, do they...

Migrating with rclone is going to be a little tricky because it’s more than just the underlying files (there are changes to the meta data record in the WordPress database for each media item that’s it’s R2). Certainly not an impossible task if rclone is the only option, but it would be a little...

It will change the URL of the media object in real-time (as they are migrated in the case of existing images being migrated). Be aware that only trickles down to posts that used the normal WordPress media blocks. If media blocks were bypassed (like a post done with raw HTML with <img /> tags...
