The Dangerous Reason for Files not uploading to CDN in WordPress

 

This happens with bigger to medium blogs with thousands of pictures.  Its not solitary, usually apart from Files not uploading to CDN, there will be problem with magnification, images will not load etc.

 

This problem happens due to apparent corruption of wp-content/uploads folder. Most keeps the settings of CDN tools to default and that points to uploads folder. These CDN tools, mostly uses cURL function to upload the files. Somehow, these plugins can not delete the older junks of combined files, the set deletion chmod never works.

Now if some one garbage the website’s backup on uploads folder, it becomes more pathetic to open. We are mentioning a case, where the webmaster consulted us to solve the problem. His problems were :

 

  • Files not uploading to CDN
  • No thumbnails are showing
  • No minification, as if there is no Plugin working

 

He tried himself to regenerate the thumbnails and it created more problems. When we tried to open the uploads folder, WinSCP failed, crushed. We understood its so big that its not possible to open normally. We tar it from shell, oh dear, the size of uploads folder in tar-ball was 2.5 GB ! There should be not more than 700 mb files from calculation.

 

 

Files not uploading to CDN in WordPress

 

 

Filezilla will usually not show the minified files in SFTP. You will need WinSCP to open the uploads folder manually. Its better if you can delete or move the other folders (non native WordPress folders like backup folder), making it a bit ‘light’ in size.

WinSCP might crash few times, your target is to delete the old minified files and odd files, it will look like a junk actually. Normally there should be only year-wise archives. After deleting the junks, take a backup of the uploads folder, and in our described way, create a test WordPress installation and you will see, everything is working fine.
