WP offload s3 media lite wordpress plugin not able to upload images and files to s3

Question

I am using WordPress 6.0.1 with PHP 8.1.8 I set the WordPress to use the wp offload s3 media WordPress plugin but it's not working as expected.

When I upload the images it's not going to the s3, instead referencing the server location only.

I have double-checked for the permissions of the IAM user credentials and the s3 credentials, everything is fine at the AWS level.

when looking into the debug.log file, I got the following error logs:

Answer 1

After an extensive amount of research, I have finally solved this issue. This was an issue that was related to the AWS S3 bucket only.

I have to go inside the respective bucket and in the permission, section goes to the Object ownership section and tick the ACLs enabled option, and check the "Bucket owner preferred" checkbox as shown in the screenshot below.

And the issue will be solved with images starting to be uploaded to s3 directly.
