how can I change all wordpress media file url to custom cdn url?

Question

any function can apply change all image URLs to CDN instead of modifying media.php in wp-includes folder ?

Answer 1

I did this by using wp super cache. One thing that confused me was that you have to turn on the caching, even if all you want is the CDN rewriting.

I looked at a number of other CDN/rewriting plugins and nothing worked.

Answer 2

You can place this in your functions.php file:

add_filter('wp_get_attachment_url', 'replace_media_url');
function replace_media_url($url) {
    $custom_url = 'https://mybucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com';
    $path = 'uploads';// the path in the CDN
    
    // Check if the URL is a media URL
    if (strpos($url, 'wp-content/uploads') !== false) {
        // Replace the media URL with the custom URL
        $url = str_replace('wp-content/uploads', $path, $url);
        $url = str_replace(site_url(), $custom_url, $url);
    }
    return $url;
}

Every time your media is accessed, WordPress will return the CDN URL instead (even in the admin area).
