Sync Media Library not working

How many images have you uploaded?
Because it seems to fail during the check which images are in the database already.
For each image a call to the database is done. So if there are too many images it simply takes too long because of a php timeout.

hi …

i don’t know exactly but are many many images in the uploads folder … i have merged 3 blogs from 5 years to date

so what can i do to sync it ? how can i increase the timeout … i have waited hours but still got empty page

thanks in advance

Timeouts are like 30 sec.
So waiting an hour does not help ;).

See

how to increase php limits.

so if my uploads folder is 5GB there is no way to do this ?

Thanks

You can try the add to server plugin. They might only add the images to the database and do not check if the files already exist. But you will most likely run into any timeouts as well.
My plugin does an automatic reload to avoid timeouts but this is only for the upload part but not for the part that determines what has to be done…

hi … i have tried that plugin

the problem is that i have to select manually every image, and if i bulk select a lot of images then doest not sync it

Do you have any other idea for this problem ?

Thanks !

Have you changed the timeouts already?
Because for the first check only the number of images is important.

then it stopped and when i try to go to sync media library again i get a 404 error

i changed to this

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B102ymFDxRHpazQ3WDVpRG9mWDA/view?usp=sharing

any ideas ???

tnx

A 404 is strange as this means that the page is not found. Do you get any results in one of the server log files?

Best, Michael

yes very strange … but im still getting 404 error

and there is nothing on the server log files about it

Thanks !

but you only get the 404 if you go to the synch page?

correct

do you know how to use the developer tools included in the browser? There you can see the network traffic and if there is maybe a redirect.

no sorry i don’t know about that, can you explain a little more

thanks so much for your time and help

e.g. in chrome you can press F12. Then you get the developer tools.
If you check the network stat you might find out where the url that fails should go to. And than maybe it is possible to figure out why.
