Overview
This plugin allows the user to define AWS access keys and allows other plugins to hook into it and use the AWS SDK that’s included.
The plan was for this plugin to be a dependency of several plugins and all could use the same AWS SDK. We realized however that there are problems with this idea and we’ve taken another approach.
This plugin was used by our plugins (WP Offload S3 and WP Offload S3 Lite) but it is almost certainly used by other plugins we’re not aware of. So although it is no longer needed for our plugins, we’ll leave it here for others.
Requirements
- PHP version 5.3.3 or greater
- PHP cURL library 7.16.2 or greater
- cURL compiled with OpenSSL and zlib
- curl_multi_exec enabled

Practically useless for established sites
by Tharindu·9 years ago
Installed on an established site. And it’s useless. If you have an established site, buy that other plugin they are advertising. This one is useless for old images.
Works Well Enough
by Nuanced Media·9 years ago
Takes a bit of tweaking, but all around does what it advertises.
Pretty Good All Around
by sean913·10 years ago
This plugin is great for connecting to your AWS account for other services to use it. Some usability issues could be better, some errors on install and activate with certain versions, but if you’re up to date it should work great.
Fantastic – transparent functionality
by assortedchips·10 years ago
I am very impressed with this plugin, and I am using only the free version along with its companion WP Offload S3. I like how they are transparent – you don’t even realize it is there and behaves as if you were saving everything locally. There have been a few bugs here and there, but the team addresses them quickly.
Interfering with Easy Digital Downloads and its Amazon S3 plugin.
by azazy·10 years ago
Download links and rewriting urls is so broken with Easy Digital Downloads, EDD Amazon S3 and EDD Frontend Submissions.
