Not uploading complete Media Library

Yes. That’s pretty much what the plugin does ??

There’s an FTP style way to upload your media to DreamObject – https://wiki.dreamhost.com/DreamObjects_Compatible_Applications#Desktop_File_Transfer_Apps has the list.

You just have to copy up the files (everything in wp-content/uploads/) to the bucket for your media.

After that, the search/replace would be vertufineart.com/wp-content/uploads/ to vertu.vertufineart.com/wp-content/uploads/

Excellent, thanks Mika – I’ll give that method a try. I very much appreciate your help on this issue ??

Hi Mika,

I used FTP to re-upload all of the images in the media library. Now I’ve got a bunch of broken images. It looks like if I navigate to the individual file in the Bucket and set the permission from ‘private’ to ‘public’ the file shows, but the ones uploaded via the plugin are showing even with their permission set to ‘private’.

When I deactivate the plugin everything goes back to normal, ie. using local paths. Is there a way I can make the plugin recognize that all the items are now in the bucket?

“Everything”? Meaning what? All your posts go back to the old URLs because that’s not right at all. The plugin doesn’t change your URLs in your images back.

There’s no need to tell the plugin the items are in the buckets because that’s what the search/replace does. Yes, you’ll have the red x for images on the list view of your media library, but that has no relationship with if the image is actually on the server or not. It’s just a way to see if the image was uploaded by the plugin. Nothing more.

They should be set to public actually. The plugin sets them to public by default.

Let’s step back a second. Is this what you did?

1) COPY (not move, copy) all the images from your server to DreamObjects

2) Make sure the images are accessible on DreamObjects (just try to view the items in the bucket)

3) Search/Replace the image paths to point to DreamObjects in all your posts

Thanks again for sticking with me on this.

Here’s what I did:

1) Downloaded all images from wp-content/uploads/
2) Used Cyberduck to upload all images to the bucket (to their respective folders) – /vertu/wp-content/uploads/

It seems that uploading the images this way set the permissions all to ‘private’, so with the plugin turned on I get the proper URLs but the images doesn’t show:
https://cl.ly/image/3p3u3T2m1020

But when I turn the plugin off the URLs are back to normal and the image shows:
https://cl.ly/image/3Y06443m2q1X

In any case, it looks like I need the permissions changed to make those images show. Dreamhost support told me I have to run a command line script to change the images in bulk.

I did not do the search/replace yet as the permissions issue would make all images not show.

I’ve submitted a ticket with DreamHost to have them update those permissions, will report back once that’s done.

The ticket’s the best bet for that but…

Are those screenshots from the wp-admin page?

No they are from the home page of the site.

That doesn’t make sense since the plugin is literally editing the posts but only when it uploads. o.O Is that just a normal image embedded in a post or some plugin doing things like a slider?

(Clarify: If the plugin doesn’t upload the image to the CDN, it won’t rewrite the image path in posts)

Apologies for the delay in getting back to this.

I have made some progress, I opened a support ticket with Dreamhost and they increased the PHP memory (full settings below) and advised me to upgrade to PHP 5.6, which I have done. When I reactivated the Dreamspeed plugin it uploaded all of the images that have been added to the site within the last 3 weeks. But it still didn’t grab the older images – it still says 710 images to be uploaded.

Also, I’m not sure what to say about the URLs changing, when I turn the plugin off the URLs are from vertufineart.com/wp-content/ and when I turn it on they’re showing from vertu.vertufineart.com/wp-content (the CDN address). After reading your comment I checked it multiple times to confirm. I’d be happy to give you access so you can take a look – shoot me an email at: mike @ sonicpixel.ca

PHP Settings:
memory_limit = 128M
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 500
max_input_time = 500

Back again to update – with the above settings changed and leaving the plugin alone for two weeks it seems to have gone ahead and uploaded everything in the media library!

So the resolution to this long thread is that the PHP settings seem to have been the issue.

That makes a little sense if the image are really big. Less if they’re not.

Sometimes I really hate PHP! Thank you for coming back and not being denvercoder9!

Some of the images were fairly big, and updating the PHP version to PHP 5.6 may have helped as well.

Thanks again for the plugin!
