Hello,

I am no developer, but I had a problem with “add from server” basically files weren’t appearing after the last wordpress update, it was stuck in the directory “home/(hosting name)/. and no files appeared!

I fixed it by going the Plugin editor, opened class.add-from-server.php and in the line 76 where it says the home directory is “/home” I edited to be “/home/vultr/creative” where vultr is and example of the name of the directory and creative is an example of my wordpress installation directory.

and it worked!

Hello,
I always use your great plugin.

I think it is recent, but when your plugin is active, I get an error when I click the “add new language” button for another plugin, Loco Translate. It would be greatly appreciated if you could fix this.

Reproduced the error with the following content.
Theme:
-Storefront or Twenty Twenty-Three
Plugin:
-Add From Server
-Loco Translate
-WooCommerce -Wordfence Security

I have a problem with the WordPress media upload error this error shows not all file some file, some file uploaded successfully

screenshot in link https://ibb.co/M8n2g0V

Is the plugin compatible or supports multisite??

Hi there,

I love this plugin, but somehow it got stuck and I cannot control it anymore.

I usually add from a certain file in my server, but now I cannot access this file anymore. The file does exist in my server, but I cannot access it from the plugin. I really need an urgent help on this. Thank you!!

Just a heads-up: Wordfence warns that:

“Details: It was last updated 2 years 3 months ago and tested up to WordPress 5.5.11. Plugins can be removed from www.remarpro.com for various reasons. This can include benign issues like a plugin author discontinuing development or moving the plugin distribution to their own site, but some might also be due to security issues. In any case, future updates may or may not be available, so it is worth investigating the cause and deciding whether to temporarily or permanently replace or remove the plugin. Get more information.“

If Add From Server is still maintained, it might be worthwhile either reaching out to Wordfence (https://www.wordfence.com/contact/) or making a trivial update and refreshing the version number and build date.

The plugin works perfectly for my needs. But the upload folder has a lot of directly uploaded images in a folder and I need to import all of them. When I select the bulk select button, the browser tab crashes because there are hundreds of images in the folder. Is there anyway, we can setup pagination? Pagination may fix this problem.

Hi– will this plugin be updated soon?

Hi,

I have used the plugin 3 times to index uploaded images to a different folder.

The issues now :
– most images are shown multiple times in the media library
– those duplicates have EXACTLY the same file url AND same size, but shown multiple times
– some image items are corrupt with weird and non-existing url with % in it
– I have three times more files mentioned in media library then that actually exist

I already tried “duplicate image media library” solutions, but when deleting one, also the actual real used image in woo are also deleted.

So how can I fix this broken and corrupted media-index due to “add from server” plugin usage ?

Is there a way to detect, and rebuilt the media library database index, without exact duplicates and corrupted items ?

Thanks

Hi, I change code to move files

class.add-from-server.php
#lines 212

if ( isset( $_POST['move'] ) ) {
    if ( false === @rename( $file, $new_file ) )
        return new WP_Error( 'upload_error', sprintf( __( 'The selected file could not be copied to %s.', 'add-from-server' ), $uploads['path'] ) );

} else {
    if ( false === @copy( $file, $new_file ) )
        return new WP_Error( 'upload_error', sprintf( __( 'The selected file could not be copied to %s.', 'add-from-server' ), $uploads['path'] ) );
}

#lines 498

<p><?php
printf(
    __( '<strong>Move Files:</strong> %s', 'add-from-server' ),
    '<label><input type="checkbox" checked id="move" name="move" value="1"></label>'
);
?></p>

I’M using FTP and “Add from server” to upload any images and .zip files for my digital products that I sell on WooCommerce.
Sadly, any products uploaded with this method will result in the error “File not Found” when clicking the download button after purchasing a digital product.

The images and zip files DO show up in my media library using this method.
In the edit page of a product I can see and choose any zip files I’ve uploaded but they just won’t download properly after a purchase.
If I just copy and paste the file URL it downloads as it should.

I really want to use this method as I hate how WordPress does its default upload folder structure with the years and months, but it’s just not working….

Whenever I upload an image via FTP, mark it and then click “add from server”
a bunch of extra files are created with various resolution sizes.
Is this necessary or can this be turned off?

Hello
I want to use a system (your plugin) to insert media automaticly uploaded with ftp system , but not in manual mode but every xx sec
is it possible to help to have some php code to do this with crontab system ?

Thanks a lot

Hello there! Love the plugin, but sometimes it gets stuck in directory /www/ and I can’t move up or down the file directory. This happened before but I can’t remember how I reset it to /htdocs or /public. Thanks!

Hi!

For a website i try to bulk upload 4000 images. But selecting all, and clicking the button gives an error.

The plugin says: this is an expired link.

Then i tried in smaller bulks. Like 250 images. That went well, but then suddenly different images sizes (like 10 per uploaded image) pops up in the ‘add to server’ plugin.

If i want to upload a new batch of images, then all images are mixed up and the overview is completely gone.

Any suggestions about how to fix this issue?

Hello,
I use the Add From Server to bulk image uploads via FTP.
When you use the plugin, it’s showing the total root on the server (/home/xxx), not the root for the installation in question. I think this is a security issue. I don’t want admins to have access to the whole server. They should access only the folder in which the WP-installation is in.
How to solve this?
Best regards!

Hi community,

I’m using the “Add From Server” plugin on my WordPress site running on an Ubuntu machine. When I try to add files using the plugin, the plugin is showing the wrong directory in the backend. It’s showing “/home/users” instead of the root the directory of the site.

How can I fix that?

Had some issues uploading lots of videos, (over 500) through the media library. Ended up fixing the issue by using Add From Server. Everything worked great till I tried to play one of the videos. The audio is playing but not the video.
This error only applies to the videos I uploaded to the ftp and use Add from Server to get them into the media library.
I’m adding one video at a time.
Am I missing a step?

i tired to import image over 600images, when the plugin import one by one, and stop around 4XX images, the plugin not more message that say imported “xxxxx.jpg”…
i was wait more 30mins, not more message come up…

I am working on a new website using WAMP to run the WordPress installation on my computer before I push it to the live site.

Add From Server does not import images in this environment. It seems it can’t parse the folder locations properly because it’s looking at the site location like this:

D:\wamp64\www/ \myteststite\wp-content\uploads\myfolder/

To be clear: the plugin sees the media files in “myfolder” but when I select them and click “Import”, the page refreshes and no files have been imported.

I use the current WordPress version V5.8.1 with the plugin AFS V3.4.5.
I noticed that the imported media end up in the wrong directories for year and month.

This issue was already reported. But the solutions suggested so far do not help me.

• Incorrect date for items added to Media library: line 202 is now the beginning of an if statement and cannot be removed independently.
• Media Files Not Loading Into Year/month folders: the function current_time() is unknown.

E.g.: Images imported today will be placed in uploads/1635/63/.

At least I can explain where the directories 1635 and 63 come from.
If you look at the return of the function time(), you will find exactly these informations. One interprets the integer value of the Unix epoch as string and uses the first 4 characters (digits) as year and the characters 6-7 as month.

.../uploads$ php -r '$t=time();var_dump($t);'
int(1635963133)
    YYYY/mm

Can someone please correct this?

OK, so my scenario is… I’m not sure how, but lost a bunch of product images in a server migration.

The images seem to be still registered, because if I add one of the missing images through WordPress media gallery upload, it appends a number to the end of the file name, suggesting the original file is still registered.

I have a backup of the site, so if I just used FTP to upload the media folders, selecting to skip files that already exist so I only upload the missing images, back into their original directories… will this plugin find them and reconnect them them?

Thanks. ??

I am using BuddyBoss, which has a document upload and library feature. The problem is that it does not add media to the media library. I’m wondering if I could set up a cron job to periodically import/sync anything in the BB documents folder to the media library?

Hi there, please can you confirm if this has been updated to work with WordPress 5.7?
Many thanks

Hi there!

I know that this plugin is not really being ‘improved’ any longer, but I noticed that, nevertheless, the community of translators has been busy. There are a few languages on translate.www.remarpro.com which are now completely translated (my mother language, Portuguese; but also Persian). Others have received a lot of new translations since last approved. However, they do not have those translations approved yet, which is a pity…

As the plugin developer, could you please at least go through all of those finished translations and approve them? Because, you know… while anyone can translate, nobody else can approve those translations but you…

Hopefully, that will get rid of the notice asking for translators…

Thank you in advance!

I need to import my images(about 400) which are uploaded via ftp to wordpress media. I use “add from server” plugin, but after some images(about 150) imported, the process stop.
could anyone help me to solve the problem?
thanks

The plugin loads media into the uploads folder, but does not add to the correct year/month folder. It creates a new folder, then adds a new subfolder within for each upload.

My media settings are set to use year/month folders. Today, uploads should be in the uploads/2021/01 folder. Add this is creating odd folders, eg: “uploads/1610/58/files”, “uploads/1610/59/files”, “uploads/1610/60/files” etc.

Using Add-this v3.4.5 with WP5.6 and php7.2

Hello all,

If in your WordPress installation Add from Server try to upload files to random folders in uploads directory:

In admin panel go to: Settings -> Media and uncheck option: "Organize your sent files into directories with month and year numbers in the names" and save changes.

This should resolve aforementioned problem and let you import files from for eg. …/uploads/2020/01 to media library without any problems (and random generated folders) ??

Best regards

Hi, I’m on the latest version of WP. I have uploaded a 98mb mp4 file and Add From server sees the file but the select check box cannot be checked to import it. I’ve tried putting the file in various locations on the site, but the result is the same. Any ideas? I’m using Safari

How do I make this plugin update the files meta data in my case Audio.

The plugin doesn’t update Audio meta data like
Artist name
Song title
Album
Genre

Rather it uses the file title as the song name. Please help
