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.

This plugin will tell you what environment type you are on, and what the debug settings are.
If you have only one version of your site this plugin may not be useful to you.
Make sure every version of your site has its ENV defined in wp-config.php. We support both the new official WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE constant, and the community classic WP_ENV.
<pre><code>define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'production' );
</code></pre>
