BE Media from Production

Installation

Once the plugin is installed, add the following constant to wp-config.php with your production URL.

`

define( ‘BE_MEDIA_FROM_PRODUCTION_URL’, ‘https://www.billerickson.net’ );
`

Alternatively, you can use the filter in your theme’s functions.php file, a core functionality plugin, or a mu-plugin:

`

add_filter( ‘be_media_from_production_url’, function() {
return ‘https://www.billerickson.net’;
});
`

Installation via WP-CLI and constants

`

wp plugin install –activate be-media-from-production
wp config set BE_MEDIA_FROM_PRODUCTION_URL https://www.billerickson.net –type=constant
`

Using with WP Migrate DB Pro

WP Migrate DB Pro is my preferred tool for pushing/pulling databases between environments. The Media addon allows you transfer media between environments along with the database.

When redesigning a website, I keep all the media on my development server and push up new media uploads along with the database.

Set up a “push” profile to push your local database to the development server. Make sure “Media Files” is checked and select “Compare, then upload”.

Set up a “pull” profile to pull the development database locally. Do not include media in your pull. Any missing media will be handled by BE Media from Production.
