The WordPress VXP plugin: All-in-One Digital Asset Management and Optimization for WordPress.
The WordPress VXP plugin is a powerful WordPress addition designed to help businesses efficiently manage and optimize their digital assets. Integrating two key features - Digital Asset Management (DAM) and Digital Media Optimization (DMO) - it enables you to store, organize, deliver, and optimize images, videos, and other digital resources directly from within WordPress.
DAM (Digital Asset Management): Seamlessly organize, search, and control all your digital assets, ensuring brand consistency and boosting team collaboration.
DMO (Digital Media Optimization): Automatically optimize images and videos for size and loading speed, enhancing user experience and improving website performance.
To use this plugin, ensure you have a Scaleflex DAM account ( if not already) or a Cloudimage (Scaleflex DMO) account ( if not already).
Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
On the Admin sidebar, navigate to Plugins > Add New (soon available).
Enter "Scaleflex VXP" in the search field and then install the plugin (soon available).
Once installed, click Activate.
Navigate to the settings page.
Select "Digital Asset Management (DAM)".
Fill in the plugin settings page with the required authentication details
Token: Your token from the DAM
Base folder in the DAM to synchronise assets to / from: Choose the folder where uploaded assets should be stored in the DAM platform.
With DAM, we will have two modes when using:
DAM-Native: Compatibility with every version of WordPress and easy to use with other plugins
DAM-Widget: Supports and is stable with Gutenberg (with the classic blocks), Classic Editor, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, and Advanced Custom Fields only.
Storage location: Where assets will be stored. In any case, WordPress will use optimized asset links from the DAM to display and accelerate assets in WordPress.
DAM Only: activating the plugin uploads existing WordPress assets to the DAM; new assets are stored only in the DAM and require manual syncing after deactivation.
DAM and WordPress: assets are duplicated between WordPress and the DAM; deactivating the plugin relinks URLs to local WordPress storage.
Synchronize all assets from DAM to WordPress:
Once enabled, the feature pulls DAM assets directly from the Scaleflex DAM into WordPress (both default and custom metadata) for advanced search and description capabilities.
You can enable this option if you want to use metadata in your project or synchronize the asset when you have a new upload from DAM.
Once enabled, the feature pulls DAM metadata directly from the Scaleflex DAM into WordPress (both default and custom metadata) for advanced search and description capabilities.
The new asset uploaded to DAM (in the base folder) will be automatically synced to WordPress via Webhook.
You can select to synchronize the DAM metadata you want with Title, Description, Caption, and Alternative Text (ALT)
For example, before DAM is installed and activated, you have these 2 images on your WP CMS and these 2 images on your DAM platform:
At this point, the images' URLs still have WP CMS URLs
After you install, activate, and configure DAM, you can see the notification at the top to confirm if you entered the correct credentials.
Then the synchronization will run in the background and upload your current asset into Scaleflex DAM.
You can check the progress synchronization at the "Report" page
Now you can see that all the images' URLs have become DAM URLs
The next major feature that DAM brings is the Media Asset Widget (MAW) in the Media Library
Here you can upload your media assets to the DAM platform (instead of WP’s local library)
Note: This feature supports and is stable with Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, and Advanced Custom Fields only.
Anywhere the Media Manager opens on the Editor, an MAW tab will be inserted.
When you deactivate the plugin, all media assets that have been synchronized to DAM will be removed.
Please note: When using the "Storage location" with the option "DAM only", you need to manually sync your asset after deactivation.
Security Template: A key for obtaining time-limited access tokens (used for API interaction). See: . Behind the scenes, the code would use the Security Template Identifier to obtain a SASS (the “limited-time password”). The SASS would then be used in the auth header for interacting with the Filerobot API ()
