WP Offload Media - Stale S3 paths when replacing translated images

Overview of the issue

When you use WP Offload Media together with WPML Media Translation, replacing a translated image may generate an incorrect S3 file path. This issue occurs when a translated image is replaced after the original translation was uploaded in a different month or year.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

Option 1

Go to the Media Library, use the “Remove from Bucket” option and manually replace it with a new image.

Option 2

Alternatively, you can try the following but you may end with orphaned objects in the bucket:

• Open …/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront-pro/classes/pro/integrations/wpml.php
• Replace:

  	public function setup() {
  		add_action( 'wpml_media_create_duplicate_attachment', array( $this, 'duplicate_offloaded_item' ), 10, 2 );
  	}
  

• With:

  	public function setup() {
  		add_action( 'wpml_media_create_duplicate_attachment', array( $this, 'duplicate_offloaded_item' ), 10, 2 );
  		add_action( 'wpml_updated_attached_file', array( $this, 'delete_offloaded_item_on_media_replace' ), 10, 3 );
  	}
  
  	public function delete_offloaded_item_on_media_replace( $attachment_id, $file, $language ) {
  		$as3cf_item = Media_Library_Item::get_by_source_id( $attachment_id );
  
  		if ( $as3cf_item ) {
  			$as3cf_item->delete();
  		}
  	}
