Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Uploads Relay for Local Development by Carl Alberto

No. The plugin is designed exclusively for local development and will only function when wp_get_environment_type() returns local. This is a safety measure to prevent unintended use in production.

Proxy only when missing locally keeps your local upload URLs intact and only fetches from the remote server when a file is not found locally. This is the recommended mode for most use cases. Always rewrite URLs to remote changes all upload URLs site-wide to point to the remote server. This is the fastest option but means all media is loaded from the remote server, even if files exist locally.

No. The plugin simply requests files from the remote server's uploads URL. As long as the files are publicly accessible, no changes are needed on the remote server.

Yes. When caching is enabled, proxied files are saved to your local wp-content/uploads/ directory. You can set a maximum cache size in megabytes to limit disk usage.

No. The plugin does not collect any user data, usage statistics, or telemetry. The only external requests it makes are HTTP GET requests to the remote server URL that you configure in the plugin settings. No requests are made until you explicitly enable the proxy and provide a URL.

By default, the plugin proxies common media file types: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG, PDF, MP4, MP3, DOC, DOCX, and ZIP. You can customize the allowed extensions in the settings.
