How to Use
1. Add a CDN asset without downloading
Use this when you want the asset to be served directly from the MediaValet CDN without storing a local copy.
- Go to Media > MediaValet CDN in the admin sidebar
- Click Select Asset from MediaValet and login with MediaValet account
- Browse Your Library — To select an asset, navigate through your library and hover over the desired file. Click on the [+] icon (labeled “Insert as CDN Link”). This will open the Get CDN Link popup. From there, choose the required format and select the appropriate size. Finally, click on “Insert CDN Link” to complete the process.
- The CDN URL, title, alt text, and expiry date are filled in automatically
- Optionally edit the title and alt text
- Click Add to Media Library — the asset is added to Library in WordPress and served via CDN
2. Insert assets in the Editor
- Open or create a post/page using the Editor
- Choose the file from MediaLibrary which was uploaded from MediaValet to WordPress.
- The asset is inserted into your post
3. Manage CDN assets in Media Library
After inserting a CDN asset you can manage it from Media > Library:
- Use CDN URL toggle — switch between serving the file from MediaValet CDN (dynamic) or a local WordPress copy (static)
- CDN URL field — view or edit the CDN URL directly
- Re-sync from CDN — re-download the latest version of the asset from MediaValet
