The Full AWS SDK WordPress plugin bundles the AWS SDK for PHP and exposes its autoloader so any other plugin or theme without managing their own copy of the AWS SDK.
The Full AWS SDK for PHP is over 6MB zipped and updates often (2-3 times a week). By separating this large and complex SDK from your WordPress theme or plugin, you can leave the updates to this plugin while enjoying the benefits of your plugin or theme’s distribution size being 6MB smaller!
Full AWS SDK is updated directly from the official AWS SDK for PHP. This build is compatible with PHP 8.2 and newer.
How the Full AWS SDK plugin for WordPress works
After activation, the plugin registers the Composer-generated autoloader. Any plugin or theme that runs after plugins are loaded can directly instantiate AWS clients:
<?php
if ( class_exists('Aws\\S3\\S3Client') ) {
$s3 = new \Aws\S3\S3Client([
'region' => 'us-east-1',
'version' => 'latest',
]);
}
