Configuring BunnyCDN

FluentCommunity now integrates with BunnyCDN, allowing you to store data online and reduce site storage usage.

This guide covers two ways to configure BunnyCDN with FluentCommunity: through the plugin’s UI or by using the WordPress wp-config.php file.

Bunny Settings in FluentCommunity  #

Navigate to FluentCommunity Settings, then click on Features and Addons from the left sidebar. Find the Media Module and click the Configure button next to it.

A pop-up will appear, showing that you need API credentials to connect FluentCommunity with BunnyCDN. You can find these credentials in your BunnyCDN account.

Get API Credentials from BunnyCDN #

First, log into your Bunny account, then go to Storage from the left sidebar and click on Add Storage Zone.

A pop-up will appear to set up the Storage Zone settings. Choose your preferred Storage Tier (we have selected Standard). Then, select the Main Storage Region based on your users’ location. Finally, click on the Add Storage Zone button.

Note: Keep track of the Main Storage Region you select, as you’ll need this information later when configuring BunnyCDN with FluentCommunity.

Connect Pull Zone #

Go to the Storage Zone you just created, then select Connected Pull Zones from the left sidebar. Now, click on the + Connected Pull Zone button.

A Pull Zone setup pop-up will appear. First, enter a name for your Pull Zone. Then, in the Origin Type, select Storage Zone and choose the Storage Zone you created from the dropdown. 

Select the Tier as per your preference. Finally, click on the Add Pull Zone button to save.

You will now see your Pull Zone Hostname. Copy the Hostname and save it to your clipboard for later use.

Note: This Hostname is the BunnyCDN Public URL that you’ll need to enter on the FluentCommunity Bunny configuration page.

API & Credentials #

Go to the Storage Zone you just created and click on the FTP & API Access tab from the left sidebar. Here, you’ll find the Username and Password. Copy these two items for later use.

Note: The Username is the BunnyCDN Storage Zone Name, and the Password is the BunnyCDN API Key that you’ll need for the Bunny configuration page in FluentCommunity.

Connecting Bunny Using the Plugin UI #

Now, go to the FluentCommunity Bunny Configure page and paste the credentials into the following fields:

• BunnyCDN API Key: Paste the Password of your Storage Zone here.
• BunnyCDN Storage Zone Name: Paste the Storage Zone Name here.
• Primary Storage Region: Select the Primary Storage Region you previously chose for your Storage Zone in the Main Storage Region.
• BunnyCDN Public URL: Paste the Hostname of the Pull Zone here, making sure to add https:// at the beginning.

Finally, click the Save Settings button to save your changes.

Preview #

Now, post anything in your FluentCommunity and attach a media file. 

You will see that the file is automatically stored on BunnyCDN storage.

 Using wp-config.php #

Add the following definitions to your wp-config.php file, adjusting the values according to your Amazon S3 setup:

// Amazon BunnyCDN Configuration
define('FLUENT_COMMUNITY_CLOUD_STORAGE', 'bunny_cdn');
define('FLUENT_COMMUNITY_CLOUD_STORAGE_S3_REGION', 'storage.bunnycdn.com'); //  change with your region.check the next section
define('FLUENT_COMMUNITY_CLOUD_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY', 'PASSWORD'); // Your Storage Zone Password
define('FLUENT_COMMUNITY_CLOUD_STORAGE_BUCKET', 'STORAGE_ZONE_NAME'); // Your Storage Zone Name
define('FLUENT_COMMUNITY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PUBLIC_URL', 'https://PULL_ZONE.b-cdn.net'); // Your BunnyCDN Public URL

Maps for FLUENT_COMMUNITY_CLOUD_STORAGE_S3_REGION

Please use the value for FLUENT_COMMUNITY_CLOUD_STORAGE_S3_REGION based on the region you selected when creating your Storage Zone:

• Falkenstein, DE => storage.bunnycdn.com
• London, UK => uk.storage.bunnycdn.com
• New York, US => ny.storage.bunnycdn.com
• Los Angeles, US => la.storage.bunnycdn.com
• Singapore, SG => sg.storage.bunnycdn.com
• Stockholm, SE => se.storage.bunnycdn.com
• São Paulo, BR => br.storage.bunnycdn.com
• Johannesburg, SA => jh.storage.bunnycdn.com
• Sydney, SYD => syd.storage.bunnycdn.com

Notes #

• If you use both methods, the wp-config.php settings will take precedence over the UI settings.
• The UI method is more user-friendly and doesn’t require direct file access to your WordPress installation.
• The wp-config.php method is more secure as it keeps sensitive information out of the database.
• Ensure that all the credentials are correctly entered, regardless of the method you choose.

Limitations #

As BunnyCDN is not a full S3 compatible storage and does not support ACL. If you use the Document upload feature, then the full URL will still be served via the CDN.
