OK, so long story short.
I am trying to revive some old brands and basically piecing together all the old files, as the previous owner had a large team and everything is everywhere, its basically like a jigsaw puzzle past down through generations, no idea if every piece is there.
Anyway, my point… so I've reinstalled WP, got the SQL database uploaded via SSH, done a few other things, now on to the images.
I have /upload/ file with over 200,000 images dating back to 2005, I've uploaded those but of course WP doesn't recognise them. I need to make WP recognise them, which I think I can use Media Sync plugin for, but I need the file location to remain the same, so that all the locations of the images don't load an error.
On top of that, all the images originally came from a sub domain cdn.
So, what is my best option here?
Just create a sub domain cdn.domain.com and then what? :/
