Microsoft Azure Storage is an effective way to infinitely scale storage of your site and leverage Azure’s global infrastructure. For more details on Microsoft Azure Storage, please visit the [Microsoft Azure website](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/storage/). For more details on configuring a Microsoft Azure Storage account and on using the plugin with the Block Editor or Classic Editor, please visit the [user guide](https://github.com/10up/windows-azure-storage/blob/develop/UserGuide.md). ### Known Issues #### Storage Account Versions Storage accounts can be created via CLI, classic Azure portal, or the new Azure portal, with varying results. If a Storage account is created with the new Azure portal, authentication will fail, resulting in the inability to view/add containers or files. Creating a Storage account with the Azure CLI should allow the plugin to work with new Storage accounts. #### Responsive Images in WordPress 4.4 Images uploaded to the Azure Storage service will not automatically receive responsive versions. Images added through the WordPress Media Loader _should_ get automatically converted to responsive images when inserted into a post or page. We are investigating options for full support of responsive images in the plugin. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/windows-azure-storage` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. Use the Settings->Microsoft Azure screen to configure the plugin. For multisites or to enforce Azure Blob Storage settings, you can define the following constants in wp-config.php: * MICROSOFT_AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME – Account Name * MICROSOFT_AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY – Account Primary Access Key * MICROSOFT_AZURE_CONTAINER – Azure Blob Container * MICROSOFT_AZURE_CNAME – Domain: must start with http(s):// * MICROSOFT_AZURE_USE_FOR_DEFAULT_UPLOAD – boolean (default false) * MICROSOFT_AZURE_OVERRIDE_CONTAINER_PATH – Override Container name in the Image URL , can be just “/” See Settings->Microsoft Azure for more information. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d13913d18aea268e7537bd60b1a3b162a090587ea78f4f42d22c52fad1be68f9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-40834/)󠁿 [masamis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/masamis/) 10 An t-Sultain 2025 1 reply for hosting wordpress site , this plugin must be required. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7b8a8c9e37e5b8a527d645c05ae104aea7c4bf5dd25f8a59f0559ab49d8c69e1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Only possible way to run wordpress in azure app service.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-possible-way-to-run-wordpress-in-azure-app-service/)󠁿 [farmergeek](https://profiles.wordpress.org/farmergeek/) 23 An Gearran 2024 1 reply Using, docker and this plugin, you can get VM performant speeds on WordPress in azure.
