Hello @alohaaaron
Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
Can you please share the website URL?
Can you also please share the screenshot of the Performance>CDN page?
You can try adding the path to Rejected files: for example:
/wp-content/themes/Avada/assets/*
Thanks!
Hi Marko,
It’s an internal website so doesn’t have a public facing url that can be reached.
I don’t see performance cdn page or option to add a path for rejected files? Do you mean exclude a directory with .htaccess?
I’m running version 2.12 which I think is the latest version.
Thanks!
How do I add the Avada theme and other folder locations to the upload theme list?
W3 Total Cache is only uploading files from the Avada-Child theme which has just a few files.
Also anything with a gzip extension is not being uploaded. For example none of these files are being uploaded but show as 403 errors in the browser console.
wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/min/js/library/jquery.mousewheel.js.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/assets/css/style.min.css.gzip
wp-content/plugins/jquery-manager/assets/js/jquery-migrate-3.3.0.min.js.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/assets/css/media/max-2c.min.css.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/min/js/library/modernizr.js.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/min/js/library/modernizr.js.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/assets/css/media/min-2c-max-3c.min.css.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/min/js/library/modernizr.js.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/min/js/library/imagesLoaded.js.gzip
wp-content/themes/Avada/includes/lib/assets/min/js/library/bootstrap.transition.js.gzip
Hello @alohaaaron
Thank you for the information.
This should be uploaded by default. So the most likely problem is your setup as this should work “out of the box”
Please check the screenshot below of the location of the CDN Page (I guess you already found it judging by the duplicate topic you opened) and please share the screenshot of the page.
You can try by adding the path to the Performance>CDN>Custom file list however if you enabled Host theme files this should not be needed but it’s worth trying.
Also, please do not open duplicate posts and keep the conversation in a single topic so we can avoid duplicating the answers.
THanks!
Thanks Marko,
Those boxes were all checked. I ended up adding custom file paths to get the files uploaded. I guess since the child theme is the active theme, the only content uploaded by default is from the active theme, though the bulk of the content is in the parent theme?
{wp_content_dir}/themes/Avada/*.css
{wp_content_dir}/themes/Avada/*.png
{wp_content_dir}/themes/Avada/*.jpg
{wp_content_dir}/themes/Avada/*.js
{uploads_dir}/*.css
A couple other questions.
Is it possible to add more than one file type on a line in a custom path? Something like this?
{wp_content_dir}/themes/Avada/*.css, *.png, *.jpg
Also is there a recommended way to load the entire site into S3?
Thanks!
Hello @alohaaaron
Thank you for the information and I am glad that this solves the problem with uploading the files.
The safest and most reliable way is to add the path for the files like you added, however, you can also use a placeholder and try adding different file extensions.
As for your last question, are you referring to Full site delivery? Meaning to serve your entire websites from the AWS, and not just the static files?
Thanks!
Thanks Marko,
I’ll add paths for each type of file.
For the other question, yes, I’d like to serve the entire website from AWS S3. It would be a static site though that would include the html files, etc.
Thanks!

I’d like to serve the entire site using AWS S3. Is that possible with this plugin? Any challenges I should expect?
Thanks!
Hello @alohaaaron
Yes, you can serve the entire website from AWS. This is called FSD CDN.
Once this is finished you can enable FSD CDN in W3 Total Cache and connect with the API secret key.
Thanks!
Hello Marko,
Will serving the entire website also work by using AWS S3 instead of FSD CDN?
Thanks!
Hello Marko,
Wordpress generates html content by processing php and mysql data. How will html be generated from AWS S3 if S3 is just a simple storage service and not built to process php and mysql data? I don’t see how an entire WordPress site can be hosted on AWS S3 using W3 Total Cache and/or FSD CDN because it cannot process php and mysql data. Am I missing a point?
