WP-Stateless – Google Cloud Storage

To fix this issue, I ran the following command to disable Uniform Bucket-Level Access:

gsutil uniformbucketlevelaccess set off gs://yourbucket

If you don’t have gsutil installed, you can create a new bucket through the Google Cloud Console and ensure that detailed object-level permissions (ACL) are enabled.Explanation:

• Uniform (Bucket-Level Access Enabled): This setting enforces consistent permissions at the bucket level using IAM roles only. It disables object-level ACLs, meaning individual object permissions can’t be customized. While it’s more secure for some use cases, WP Stateless seems to require detailed object-level ACLs to function correctly.
• Detailed (Object-Level Permissions Enabled): By disabling Uniform Bucket-Level Access, you can manage permissions for individual objects using ACLs. This flexibility allowed WP Stateless to sync media files without issues.

After disabling Uniform Bucket-Level Access, the sync worked perfectly, and I didn’t encounter any further problems.

I had a problem with the plugin, and they solved it in less than a week. Great response time!

This is a dead plugin. There is no support. Support forum is dead an you won’t get a response. Conflicts with so many other plugins that unless you have a simple static site (which means you probably don’t need media offloading), you will end up wasting your time chasing gremlins that at the end of the day, point back to WP Stateless as the culprit. UDX needs to just pull this plugin or sell it to someone who cares enough about the WP community to maintain it. They are hurting people. Very disappointing.

The plugin is a promising plugin with nice features, but works very bad and lacks of some features that for me are important. For example, instead of to allow to use the default service account in the instance, you have to install the service account JSON which is less secure.
Another thing that lacks is the possibility to continue the syncs or even ignore the errors. If the process fails (which happens all the time), you have to restart the process from the begining. The sync is badly done and it stops without reason. Three days I have lost trying to sync a site and all the time the process stops without even saying why, it just says that has synced one image and nothing else. The plugin just stops saying that is syncing images and the progress bar doesn’t continues, but the plugin still thinking that is “in progress”.

If your site is new then will works fine for you, but If your site already have uploads in local, you will loose your mind trying to upload the files using the sync feature.

Another problems that I have found is that the plugin doesn’t fully cares about the constants (at least in multisite). The admin page shows the correct settings but when you are using the plugin they are not respected, giving “empty settings” errors when uploading. The support is almost inexistent and they are obsessed with the idea that the problem is that I don’t know how to use the constants. Looks like I am too stupid to know how to correcly use a “define” in PHP.

Great plugin – used for our site to reliably offload our images without issues. Timely help and support from their support team as well. Would recommend!
