Remove all tags from photos?

Hi,

I totally agree with you. In fact, I am totally recoding the UIs, and there will be a checkbox to avoid the tags. I have the same issue as you so that’s definitely coming ??

Thank you for your prompt response Jordy! After trying to re-sync the plugin for the last 24 hours with multiple hangs – we’ll wait patiently for this update.

Continuing on – sorry to ask a bunch of questions but I think the general structure of the plugin needs elaborating as there is not much documentation.

Can you explain on how WP/LR sync works with keywords / tags / folder ID’s currently? – Do Keywords turn into tags based on all photos in the LR database?

Example: We have 1000 photos with one keyword and one photo with a 100 keywords. Will the result be 100 tags in WP/LR sync?

We desperate to get the galleries working on our site again I am considering stripping all the tags on our photos and re-uploading them via WP/LR sync. This may only have to be done with the photos with the most tags if the above logic is correct.

During the extension re-sync will the plug-in still create tags based on the old media keywords?

Since our end goal is simply galleries based on Lightroom folders – maybe you could suggest a better workflow? We are currently using WP/LR Sync -> WP Real Media Library -> Justified Image Grid.

If we do a reset with extensions option will it mess up all WP Real Media Library ID’s – which are used in the JIG galleries?

In terms of simplicity I feel the best option would be to reference the WPLR folders directly and not through two other plugins. I have been experimenting with your Meow Gallery plugin- but it seems limited- implementation using shortcodes and without the Glutenberg editor is a bit mysterious.

Can you explain the difference between the two shortcodes :
[wp-lr-collection=”XX”] shortcode and the [wp-lr-folder=”XX”] ?

Thank you – we are looking for the solution that is the most permanent and linked our structure of folders in Lightroom without the need for this re-sycing process

Actually, if you’ve got several questions, then it’s usually better to ask each question in a separate topic. (And less risk that the automated system puts your topic in the spam queue ?? )

Thank you Tor-Bjorn, I got a little carried away there.. I have split the question into new topics over on the Meow Gallery Forum.

Update on the tag generation: we enabled the debug mode in WP/LR and were able to see the tags in the backend. There are THOUSANDS of them – which is probably what has been hanging our sync. Even when we re-upload the photos with the tags stripped – the tags remain in the plug-in.

At this point most of the tags are empty (photo count 0)

Unfortunately, the plugin only allows deleting the tags one at a time. We are starting with the nestled tags / hierarchy tags deleting one by one with the page refreshing after each delete. It is taking some time.

We will let you know if this will help speed up our resync or if we can get a successful resync at all after this.

In the meantime, it would be great as a feature request to be able to multi-select tags or simply have a button to delete them all (or at least the unused ones) from the WPLR Sync backend.

Thank you!

Resync with extensions still freezing on tag generation

"Add parent null for ..."

(first nested tag – after cycling through full list of tags)

even though we have removed all parent tags from the backend.

It’s freezing on “Add parent null for”? Could you check your PHP Error Logs when this happens and copy/paste the error you are getting? That would be super helpful. I would like to provide you with a quick fix to, at least, get through this.

I wanted to follow up with the solution that worked for us:

• First I deleted all the tags in bulk directly from the database using PHPmyadmin

  _lrsync_meta -> media_tag … (there were over 2,000 entries)

• After still having problems we upgraded server to 2GB of allocated RAM

After 7 weeks last night we finally got the library to sync!

That’s a good solution @picsporadic! Dangerous for most, but with a backup, anybody can try I guess ??

I am working on the new WP/LR Sync, so there will be a button to delete all those tags, and to also avoid working with them during the Sync with Extensions. If you have any idea or requests about those tags, please let me know. I could simply add an option to disable them completely also, on the WordPress side.
