Hi,
I have just become aware that GeoDirectory V2 does not store all uploaded images in the WP media library. This has completely ruined my plans for image processing and handling.
I need to use the Cloudinary service to offload storage of all the images for processing – Cloudinary has integrations with CDN, AI to add alt text automatically, AI to add captions to videos automatically and much more.
The Cloudinary plugin works with the WP media library to handle all the images automatically.
Even if don’t use Cloudinary I would want to use the Offload Media (formerly Offload S3) plugin to store them all on Amazon S3 for cheaper storage costs – adding more space to my server account is way more expensive.
And Cloudflare CDN doesn’t work automatically with the uploads directory – I know you can adjust some settings to fix that.
Would it be possible to pay a third party developer to change how GD handles images
and use the WP media library? I am guessing there is so much inbuilt core co codethat would be affected such that it would really need to be the core GD team that made this change.
Would it be possible to pay the core GD team to add an option to use the media library for image storage?
Another advantage of using the media library with Cloudinary is that you can let people upload videos and Cloudinary transcodes them from the WP media library and handles all the playback automatically.
Thanks,
Dale.
