How to Connect BunnyCDN Storage

BunnyCDN Storage lets you host video files on Bunny’s global edge network instead of your WordPress server. Your videos stream from the CDN, so your hosting disk space and bandwidth stay free.

In this guide, you will:

• Create a Storage Zone and a Pull Zone in Bunny
• Connect BunnyCDN Storage in WP Media Player
• Add a video and embed it with a shortcode

When to Use BunnyCDN Storage

Use BunnyCDN Storage when you already have encoded video files (MP4 or WebM) and want fast, low-cost file hosting. If you need automatic encoding into multiple resolutions, use Bunny Stream instead.

Step 1: Create a Storage Zone in Bunny

1. Log in to your Bunny dashboard and click Storage in the left sidebar.
2. Click Add Storage Zone.
3. Enter a name, choose a storage tier, and select the Main Storage Region closest to your audience.
4. Click Add Storage Zone to finish.
5. Open the new storage zone and click the FTP button. Keep this screen open for the next step.

Step 2: Add Your Storage Details in WP Media Player

1. In WordPress, go to WP Media Player > Settings > Storage.
2. Find the BunnyCDN Storage card and turn on the Enable toggle.
3. Copy the Username from Bunny and paste it into Storage User Name.
4. Copy the FTP Password from Bunny and paste it into Storage Password.
5. Copy the Hostname from Bunny and paste it into Storage Hostname.

Step 3: Connect a Pull Zone

1. In Bunny, open your storage zone and click Connected Pull Zones > + Connected Pull Zone.
2. Enter a name, make sure the origin type is Storage Zone, and select your storage zone.
3. Click Add Pull Zone.
4. Under Linked Hostnames, copy the Pull Zone Hostname.
5. Paste it into CDN Hostname in WP Media Player.

Step 4: Test the Connection

1. If you use token authentication, copy the key from Pull Zone > Security > Token Authentication and paste it into the Token Auth Key field.
2. Click Test Connection.
3. Click Save Changes once the connection succeeds.
