EXISTING LIBRARIES

Bring the media
you already have.

Connecting a bucket prepares new uploads. Your existing attachments need their own synchronization workflow.

Test a sample, synchronize, and verify public delivery.
Test a sample, synchronize, and verify public delivery.

Start small, then scale up.

  1. Back up the database and original media files. Record the current mode, bucket, and root directory.
  2. Open Media → Stateless Settings and locate the synchronization tools.
  3. Run a small sample before a full-library job. Use the available resume or range controls for your installed version.
  4. Check original images and every generated size. Visit real posts, galleries, and shop pages while logged out.
  5. Review failures and retry affected attachments. A finished progress bar is not a substitute for checking the files.

Large libraries may need batches or WP-CLI on your host. Check the commands and options provided by your installed release before running unattended jobs.
