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 allows WordPress to load data from a number of neighborhood-related APIs to be presented on a single page or within 
your own pages / posts.
Info is recovered by calling the following APIs:
<ul>
<li>Real Estate Market Stats (via <a href="http://www.zillow.com/webservice/" rel="nofollow ugc">Zillow</a>)</li>
<li>StreetAdvisor (via <a href="http://www.streetadvisor.com" rel="nofollow ugc">StreetAdvisor</a>)</li>
<li>Walk Score (via <a href="http://www.walkscore.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Walk Score</a>)</li>
<li>Google Maps (http://maps.google.com./maps/api) </li>
</ul>
To use the modules on the pre-generated Local Market Explorer “virtual pages,” you don’t need to do anything other than link to 
or visit the specially-crafted URLs that Local Market Explorer intercepts. The formats of these URLs look like this:
<ul>
<li><http://www.yoursite.com/local/city/state/></li>
<li><http://www.yoursite.com/local/neighborhood/city/state/></li>
<li><http://www.yoursite.com/local/zip/></li>
</ul>
For example, to load the Local Market Explorer for Seattle, WA, you’d simply need to point your browser to 
<http://www.yoursite.com/local/seattle/wa/>. If you have spaces in your city name, you can use hyphens for the spaces in 
the URL, like so: <http://www.yoursite.com/local/laguna-beach/ca/>. You DO NOT need to pre-initialize these 
URLs to work; simply having Local Market Explorer installed is enough to get any of these URLs to load the appropriate data.
To use the modules with your own pages and posts, you only need to insert the Local Market Explorer shortcode text via the 
page / post editor. There’s a small map icon in the toolbar editor that can help you do this.
More information and help can be found in the “Help” tab in the admin once the plugin is installed.
This plugin is open-source donationware. We’re willing to accept and integrate well-written patches into the code, but the 
continued development of the plugin (new features, bug fixes, etc) by the plugin author is funded by either donations or 
companies willing to pay a fee to have their data integrated. You can thank Zillow, and <a href="http://www.streetadvisor.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">StreetAdvisor</a> for funding the 
vast majority of the development thus far. This plugin is currently funded by <a href="http://www.streetadvisor.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">StreetAdvisor</a>, and being developed by <a href="http://caffeineinteractive.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Caffeine Interactive</a>.
If you’d like to contribute a feature suggestion or need to document a bug, please use the 
<a href="http://localmarketexplorer.uservoice.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">User Voice forum</a> set up specifically for that purpose. With User Voice, each user 
gets a fixed number of votes that they can cast for any particular bug or feature. The higher the number of votes for an item, 
the higher the priority will be for that item as development commences on the plugin itself.
