Set your upload folder and your RETURN URL and click Save Settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\nQ: What does DreamAPI do?\nA: DreamAPI makes a connection to DreamObjects and allows you to upload or delete files. In addition, DreamAPI also turns DreamObjects back into a CDN from a \nstorage-only application.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Can I use DreamAPI without a plan? \nA: You will need an account at DreamHost and DreamAPI and you will also need to have a bucket within DreamObjects.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Is DreamAPI free?
\nA: DreamAPI is not free and requires registration of your API key.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Can I change the default DreamAPI link to a custom domain?\nA: You will need to set the DNS records of your DreamHost DreamObjects storage bucket. Visit DreamAPI.link for more details. \nAfter you have ensured this process is complete, you can set the return url in the Settings which will display a custom domain link instead of the DreamObjects link.<\/p>\n\n
Q: How much storage space do I have?\nA: DreamAPI.link only makes the connection between your WordPress website and DreamObjects, but you can visit DreamHost's DreamObjects page for more details here: \nhttps:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/cloud\/storage\/<\/p>\n\n
Q: Will my original files be deleted after they are uploaded?\nA: Since you are not uploading directly to the Media Library, no files will ever be stored on your server longer than they need to be.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Will DreamAPI delete files from DreamObjects if I delete them on WordPress?\nA: Deleting files from your DreamObjects Media Library on WordPress will delete them from your DreamObjects bucket.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Will my files be deleted if I delete them from DreamObjects?\nA: If you delete your files directly from DreamObjects, they will no longer show up in the DreamObjects Media Library on your website.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Can I change the upload folder?\nA: You may change the folder to anything you want. \nNote: Changing it will not automatically move any files from the old folder to the new folder.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Can I upload the WordPress Media Library?\nA: Absolutely! From the DreamAPI settings screen, click on \"Export to DreamObjects Media Library\" and let DreamAPI go to work. \nDepending on the size of your library, it could take a while.<\/p>\n\n
If the script times out, you will need to increase numbers for: \nmax_execution_time, max_input_time, memory_limit, post_max_size, upload_max_filesize<\/p>\n\n
Q: Can I add a date to the folder structure?\nA: This is not currently possible.<\/p>\n\n
Q: I have multiple subfolders but they aren't showing.\nA: DreamAPI does not currently read recursively into directories.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Can I set a pre-existing folder that already has files in it on DreamObjects?\nA: Absolutely. Just set the folder and DreamAPI will load anything within the root of that folder.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Will DreamAPI work with Gutenberg?\nA: DreamAPI will work with Gutenberg, but not directly. In other words, you will simply insert a new block, add media, and insert from URL. Or you can paste the img shortcode into the post or page directly.<\/p>\n\n
Q: How do I make my images load faster?\nA: DreamObjects automatically caches files worldwide and if they are downloaded once, they tend to be cached forever.<\/p>\n\n
Q: I uploaded a file to DreamObjects, deleted it, and re-uploaded a file with the same filename, but still seeing the old file.\nA: Aside from storage, DreamObjects primary job is to cache things forever and make them fast. There is no way \nto clear the cache on DreamObjects. You will need to rename the file and re-upload it to see the new file.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Does my website need to be secure?\nA: It is highly recommended that you use a secure website and force SSL on your DreamObjects DNS. Trying to display secure images from an unsecure website or vice versa may result in odd browser behavior from the browser. However, having a non-secure website will still display images.<\/p>\n\n
Q: My images are not showing up for my custom domain.\nA: You should have covered at least two steps in order to link to your custom domain.\nYou will need to go to wherever you are hosting your domain and ensure the proper DNS CNAME records are set.<\/p>\n\n
Changes may take up to 10 minutes or more to go in effect.<\/p>\n\n

Q: My images are not appearing in DreamObjects Media.\nA: Ensure the proper folder is set and there are actually files within the folder.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Does DreamAPI alter my images?\nA: Unlike WordPress which may scale down large images, DreamAPI does not alter your images in any way and will upload them directly to DreamObjects.\nNote: Upon importing your DreamObjects Media Library to your WordPress Media Library, WordPress native functions may scale your images.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Why does it take long to upload or delete files?\nA: It depends on your server connection to DreamAPI, but it may take several minutes to upload or delete multiple files. It is advisable not to upload more than 20 files at a time.<\/p>\n\n
Q: How do I use a secure connection with my own domain for my files?\nA: This is where the CDN aspect from DreamSpeedCDN kicks in.<\/p>\n\n
Follow these steps:\n1. Create a bucket called cdn.mysite.com. \n2. You will need to add your website to Cloudflare. \n3. From Cloudflare, update the CNAME record to cdn.mysite.com.objects-us-east-1.dream.io.\n4. From the menu, choose SSL\/TLS, and select FULL.<\/p>\n\n
Once the CNAME and DNS are resolved, then you can serve your files from cdn.mysite.com.<\/p>\n\n
Your bucket should be: cdn.mysite.com\nYour return URL should be: cdn.mysite.com<\/p>\n\n
All of your images will be returned as: https:\/\/cdn.mysite.com\/uploads\/file1.jpg<\/p>\n\n
Q: Does DreamAPI use any tracking?\nWe record every API call to ensure quality and debugging purposes in case something goes wrong, including the DreamAPI key, the action, the URL submitted, and the IP address of the server that the request came from.<\/p>\n\n
DreamAPI does not track any additional information about your website or visitors.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Can you explain what everything is on the Settings page?\nA: Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n
DreamAPI key is the API key you will need to get from DreamAPI.link which allows the plugin to work. This key creates a connection between DreamAPI, DreamObjects, and your website.<\/p>\n\n
Return URL is the custom domain you set. By default, it will look something like this: bucket.objects-us-east-1.dream.io<\/p>\n\n
DreamObjects Folder is the folder on where your files will be uploaded.<\/p>\n\n
Save Bandwidth will toggle whether thumbnail images are loaded in Bthe DremaObjects Media Library or instead only clickable links are served thus saving bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n
Update DreamAPI Settings updates the settings on the current page.<\/p>\n\n
Import To Media Library Media will download all files from DreamObjects Media Library into your local library.<\/p>\n\n
Export to DreamObjects Media Library will upload everything from the WordPress Media library to DreamObjects Media Library.<\/p>\n\n
Q: Are you DreamHost?\nA: We are a third-party company known as NoteToServices (https:\/\/notetoservices.com) and developed this plugin to help make better use of DreamObjects storage.<\/p>\n\n\n
