When spinning up a staging or local development environment, you might not need the full uploads directory, but you also don’t want to see broken images throughout the site.
This plugin lets you use the production server for missing media. Define the production URL using a wp-config.php constant BE_MEDIA_FROM_PRODUCTION_URL or filter be_media_from_production_url.
In all cases, if a local file exists, it will be used in preference to the remote file.

BE Media from Production

We are using the plugin from GitHub for quite some time. Now it will be even easier, great work!

Awesome!

Sites that heavily rely on media were painfully to maintain. Not only did I have to get the local database in sync on my development machine, but also the media to get a good picture of how the site will look after a new feature I added. With this plugin this becomes a breeze as I do not have to download all media to my local machine anymore. This saves time and diskspace. Thank you Bill for this awesome plugin.

Makes maintaining sites a breeze

Just a really great complement to localhost development, especially since pretty much every backup/export utility allows excluding certain directories, like wp-content/uploads

Many thanks!

So glad I found this

Incredibly useful plugin when doing local development work on sites with huge media libraries, when you don't want to fill up your local hard drive with or spend time syncing with your remote site.

Very useful, works perfectly

For developers - Uses local media when available, and uses the production server for the rest.

Backup Migration

Our hosting does daily backups but it is always nice to have a tool that can quickly make a backup on demand. This plugin is what we need

Really easy backups

It worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much for a great plugin.

Worked as promised.

Simple and Fast


...and it's very well built. Solid backup plugin!


Works Like a Charm...


This plugin was handy in my scenario because other similar plugins with big names in the market were not useful to me even migrating a site with a size less than 50 MB some had limits and others had migration available in the premium version.



The free version of this plugin helped me a lot. Thanks to the Developers. 


Best option in market


Well, I will only say that, this plugin is far more better then other plugins on the web. very fast and smooth migration. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work guys. :)  


Awesome Plugin!!!


Its good plugin for backup compared to others.


Its good plugin for backup


Seriously, this free plugin beats even the premium alternatives.Thanks, Inisev! 🏆



A tip for people moving away from WP Engine:By default, they place some files in the /wp-content/ directory might break the import process on the new server.This can be avoided by deleting anything under /wp-content/mu-plugins/ that you haven't inserted yourself.In my case, I also had to remove /wp-content/object-cache.php


simply the best 👌


I know it doesn't look the "WP" way, but I like the look of this plugin.Nice and easy to use. The only thing I would say is that if you run out of space it doesn't really say that. so check that if it doesn't backup.
