Hi Andrew,
Please use mpp_template_redirect instead of init. At init, not everything is setup. So, It might cause some issue.

function mpp_custom_deregister_default_gallery_view() {
	mpp_import_attachment('/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/imageupload/uploads/image~2.jpeg', 40690);
}

add_action( 'mpp_template_redirect', 'mpp_custom_deregister_default_gallery_view', 11 );

Also, your code was missing a quotation (‘). The file path should be a valid strig. In your case, It was not valid. So, That might be throwing error.

The best way to debug is to set WP_DEBUG true in wp-config.php while developing.

Hi Christian,
Thank you for using MediaPress.

It will be a nice plugin to have. May be using some existing solution for the externalizing media can help.
I am still not sure about point 3

2. Can be done but it will need significant time and will depend on your strategy(Actively doing it on upload or passively offloading using cron)

4. Can be achieved by most probably using a n existing WordPress plugin or slightly modifying it

5. Directly related to 2 and can be combined(It should be)
6. We will need to fork one of the plugin(We can take care of this part).

A plugin of this nature needs significant time. At the moment, We son’t have that kind of time available. We can still help with 6 and providing assistance with the hooks.

If you plan to offload actively( you should do it on ‘mpp_media_added’ hook. Your other point of interest will be Implementing a storage manager based on ‘MPP_Storage_Manager’.

Since the storage manager is responsible for providing meaning to a media’s path/url, you can use one to provide details for the externalized media.

Hi Andrew,
Do you want to update the cover image?

If yes, you can use

mpp_update_gallery_cover_id( $gallery_id, $media_id)

where $media_id is the id of media you want to set as gallery cover.

You can also do it via sql. All you need to do it add the ‘_mpp_cover_id’ as the post meta for mpp-gallery post type and it’s value should be the relevant media(attachment) id.

Try searching for the filter ‘show_admin_bar’ or the function ‘show_admin_bar’ and see if a plugin/theme is overriding it with false value.

The above code tries to reset the admin bar visibility on template_redirect. Most probably some code is doing it at even further actions like wp_head or so.
