<p>Bromate Remote Media Bridge helps WordPress installations share the same database across multiple environments without requiring a full copy of the uploads directory.</p>
<p>Instead of synchronizing gigabytes of media files between environments, the plugin allows WordPress to use a remote uploads directory while keeping the local media library structure intact.</p>
<p>The plugin can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rewrite attachment URLs generated by WordPress.</li>
<li>Rewrite responsive image URLs in srcset attributes.</li>
<li>Redirect media requests to a remote uploads directory.</li>
<li>Progressively cache remote media files locally while visitors browse your site.</li>
<li>Reduce deployment complexity for large media libraries.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is particularly useful for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Local development environments using a production database.</li>
<li>Staging and pre-production environments.</li>
<li>WordPress redesign and migration projects.</li>
<li>Large sites where synchronizing the entire uploads directory is impractical.</li>
<li>Long-running projects where the production media library changes frequently.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Example</h3>
<p>A local site generates:</p>
<pre><code>https://local.example.test/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image.jpg
</code></pre>
<p>Bromate Remote Media Bridge rewrites it to:</p>
<pre><code>https://production.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/image.jpg
</code></pre>
<p>When “Download while navigating” is enabled, the file may also be downloaded automatically and stored locally the first time it is requested.</p>
<p>This creates a progressively warmed local media cache containing only the files that have actually been viewed.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Rewrite WordPress attachment URLs.</li>
<li>Rewrite responsive image URLs (srcset).</li>
<li>Redirect direct media requests.</li>
<li>Progressive local media caching while browsing.</li>
<li>Automatic local storage of viewed remote media files.</li>
<li>Excluded URL support.</li>
<li>Environment-specific configuration through constants.</li>
<li>Optional debug logging.</li>
<li>No custom database tables.</li>
<li>No front-end assets.</li>
<li>Works with shared databases across development, staging and production environments.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>The remote uploads URL should point directly to the uploads directory of the environment containing the media files.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads
</code></pre>
<p>You may also configure the plugin using constants in wp-config.php:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'BROMATE_REMOTE_MEDIA_BRIDGE_ENABLED', true );

define( 'BROMATE_REMOTE_MEDIA_BRIDGE_BASE_URL', 'https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads' );

define( 'BROMATE_REMOTE_MEDIA_BRIDGE_DOWNLOAD_WHILE_NAVIGATING', true );

define( 'BROMATE_REMOTE_MEDIA_BRIDGE_DEBUG', false );
</code></pre>
<p>Constants take precedence over saved settings.</p>

<p>On a busy site you can’t afford to make changes to <em>live</em>, <em>published</em> posts without reviewing and approving them first. <strong>Revisionize</strong> clones your post, page or CPT to a draft that gives you the freedom to tweak, edit and experiment with the content. Preview your drafted changes and/or <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/public-post-preview/" rel="ugc">share the preview</a> with a 3rd party to approve the changes. When you’re happy, publish the revision, which will copy your content changes to the original post. Alternatively, schedule the revision to publish your content at a specific time.</p>

<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<ul>
<li>Gutenberge. Revisionize is not compatible with the default Gutenberg editor. You must install the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/" rel="ugc">Classic Editor</a> plugin. </li>
<li>WP Recipe Maker. There have been reported issues that indicate Revisionize does not work with this plugin. However, we could not verify these reports. Use at your own risk. </li>
<li>Some plugins store content in their own database tables, which Revisionize knows nothing about. It’s possible that publishing a revision will not save changes for these types of plugins. Revisionize will only work with content stored in the <code>wp_posts</code> and <code>wp_postmeta</code> tables. </li>

Revisionize

This plugin solves a problem with approval workflow that has plagued WordPress for a long, long time. Kudos for providing the community with a solution, and congratulations on the perfect review scores!

Excellent plugin

We have a workflow requirement where content is updated on a weekly basis and should be published on a Saturday evening on the same page/URL. Without this plugin, it would mean having to manually do it every time... on a Saturday evening... which is not fun. With this plugin, we can even set up scheduled content for weeks to come. Kudos!

Excellent workflow solution!

Draft up revisions of live, published content. The live content doesn't change until you publish the revision manually or with the scheduling system.
