To totally bypass WP, just use the CDN native interface or a utility like cyberduck to upload you files directly to the CDN and embed the file from the “From URL” tab at the add media thing. This can work with files and video but will be problematic with images as WP process images to … Read more
Figured it out. Looking at wp-comments-post.php there is a filter called comment_post_redirect which I used to check if the comment was approved and then added a query string to the URL. So easy. //A query string needs to be added when redirecting back to the post after a comment is posted and not approved. This … Read more
In the context of parent – child themes, be aware that: The get_template_directory_uri() will give you the parent theme directory uri: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_directory_uri.

I would advise against using caching plugins for that — it’s not their purpose and a lot of their functionality tends to depend on elaborate rewrite rules, which you won’t be able to replicate on CDN. There are dedicated WP solutions (none that I have … Read more
