Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Bromate Remote Media Bridge

Not by default. The plugin primarily rewrites URLs and redirects requests to a remote uploads directory. If "Download while navigating" is enabled, media files can be progressively cached and stored locally as they are viewed.

Yes. The plugin was designed specifically for environments where synchronizing the entire uploads directory would be impractical or unnecessary.

No. The feature progressively builds a local cache of media files that have actually been viewed. It is intended to reduce storage requirements and simplify development workflows, not to guarantee a complete copy of the remote media library. For complete migrations, a dedicated media migration workflow may still be required.

Yes. Any uploads-compatible URL can be used, including CDN endpoints.

URL rewriting still works because URLs are generated by WordPress. Direct media redirects require the request to reach WordPress. If your server handles missing files before WordPress loads, additional server configuration may be required.

Some servers, CDNs, security services, anti-hotlinking protections or rate-limiting rules may block automated server-to-server downloads. In these situations URL rewriting still works, but local media caching may be limited or unavailable.
