Configure WP-Stateless Settings

Now we will configure WP-Stateless settings so it can use Google Cloud Storage to store your media files.

Step 1: Update WP-Stateless settings

  1. In WordPress Admin, go to Media, Stateless Settings.

  2. Fill in the following required fields:

  • Mode: Select the mode WP-Stateless should use to handle your media. Each option has a brief description to help you choose the best one for your needs.
  • Bucket: Insert the bucket name you created in the Step 3.
  • Service Account JSON: You will need to get the contents of the key file you downloaded in Step 4. Open the .json file in a text editor (e.g., Notepad or TextEdit), copy its entire content, and paste it into this field.
  1. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Step 2: (Optional) Upload something via the Media Library

This quick test ensures WP-Stateless is handling your media correctly.

  1. In WordPress Admin, go to Media, Library.

  2. Upload something, like an image.

  3. If you set the WP-Stateless mode to CDN, Ephemeral or Stateless, you should see the media file’s URL referencing Google Cloud Storage (storage.googleapis.com).

Step 3: (Optional) Check the Google Cloud Storage Bucket

This is another quick test to ensure everything is working correctly before you start using WP-Stateless fully.

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Storage Browser .

  2. Open the bucket you created in Step 3.

  3. You’ll see the media files you uploaded in the Media Library, including the original file and other image sizes.

Congratulations!

You’ve successfully completed the WP-Stateless setup. Your WordPress site is now connected to Google Cloud Storage, and your media is ready to be served efficiently and reliably. Happy blogging!
