原文外掛簡介
Video Offload for VideoPress offloads locally-stored videos to VideoPress via Jetpack, then replaces local video references in post content with the native VideoPress block.
Features
Single or bulk offload — offload one video at a time or all pending videos at once
Content replacement — automatically replaces Gutenberg video blocks,
Requirements
WordPress 6.0+
Jetpack connected to WordPress.com
A plan that includes VideoPress: WordPress.com Premium, Business, or Commerce — or Jetpack VideoPress or Jetpack Complete
VideoPress feature active under Jetpack → Performance
Usage
Offloading videos
Single video: Click Offload to VideoPress next to any video in the Media Library or in the VideoPress Offload admin page
Bulk: Use the Offload All to VideoPress button on the admin page to process all pending videos sequentially with a progress counter
After offloading
Each offloaded video gets three actions:
View on VideoPress — opens the video on VideoPress
Replace in Content — finds every post/page that embeds the local video and replaces it with a wp:videopress/video block
Delete Local File — permanently deletes the local file from the server (confirm VideoPress has the video first)
WP-CLI
wp vov status # Summary of offload status
wp vov offload # Offload all pending videos
wp vov offload --id=42 # Offload a single video
wp vov delete-local # Delete local files for offloaded videos
How it works
The plugin calls Jetpack’s internal /videopress/v1/upload/{id} REST endpoint, which handles chunked uploads and authentication with WordPress.com. Upload state is tracked in post meta so a page refresh mid-upload picks up where it left off and auto-polls until complete.
Notes
Offloading requires the site to be publicly accessible (VideoPress fetches the file from the server)
Large files upload in chunks; the spinner stays visible for the full duration
Clicking an individual Offload button disables the others until the upload completes or errors, preventing simultaneous uploads within the same page session
External Services
This plugin relies on the VideoPress video hosting service, provided by Automattic, to upload, store, and deliver video files. A Jetpack connection and a WordPress.com plan that includes VideoPress are required.
What the service does: VideoPress hosts and streams video files via a global CDN, replacing locally stored videos with optimized embeds.
What data is sent and when:
Video file uploads — When you click “Offload to VideoPress” or run wp vov offload, the plugin uploads the video file to VideoPress through Jetpack’s REST API (/videopress/v1/upload/). Video metadata (file name, dimensions, duration) is included with the upload.
Video existence checks — When you visit the VideoPress Offload admin page or the Media Library, the plugin verifies that previously offloaded videos still exist on VideoPress by querying the WordPress.com public API (public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/videos/). This runs at most once per day per video.
Embed URLs — When replacing local video references in post content, the plugin generates embed markup pointing to videopress.com/embed/ and loads the VideoPress player script from v0.wordpress.com.
