FAQ
When I upload files to the media library it doesn’t go to Azure. What gives?
You need to enable the “Use Azure Storage for default upload” option.
How do I use the CNAME option?
We will use the example of using the Azure CDN service.
- Specify a custom CNAME for your domain in the plugin settings, e.g. cdn.example.com.
- Point that CNAME at the endpoint for your Azure CDN in your DNS settings. For example, create the CNAME cdn.example.com to mycdn.azureedge.net
- Create a custom domain mapping in Azure to map mycdn.azureedge.net to cdn.example.com. This is important! If you do not do this you will break HTTPS.
That’s all there is to it!
I didn’t specify a CNAME at first, how can I change my files to use the CNAME?
You will have to do a search and replace in the posts and postmeta tables of your database. This plugin does not do that for you.
Can I disable access to certain settings?
Yes! Just edit the blue-storage-config.php file and change true to false for any of the settings you want to disable access to.
I’m getting an error when trying to upload to my zone redundant storage
This plugin does not support “Zone Redundant” storage accounts at this time.
