This is a WordPress plugin built for development & staging sites.
What does it do?
Staging CDN works similar to a CDN but instead of referencing a CDN it references all media from an existing production site. 
The plugin is very lightweight and only rewrites the src url if the file does not exist locally
Who is it for? What is its purpose?
The plugin was built for developers to speed up their workflow so they can spend more time developing and less time keeping their environments in snyc.

Staging CDN

This plugin allows you to reference all media content from your live site.

This plugin will let you manage the post references. It is like “node reference” in Drupal CMS module functionality.
Use Reference Settings page to configure publications connections.
After configuring step you will see additional metabox(s) on post editor page. Now you can choose articles of referenced post types to attach it to article you edit.
Plugin stores connected article list to post metas. For template you can use, for example, get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_ref_ID’, true) to receive that list. As ‘ref_ID’ you should use a meta key configured on Referenced settings page earlier.
Plugin allow you to configure widgets to view the list(s) of attached articles.
