Poorly developed

  • The interface is a bit confusing and janky. It does at least tell you to backup your site first, although it would be nice to have a built in revert function. The real problem is that it doesn’t generate the thumbnails of newly imported files, so you end up with a bunch of generic icons in your Media library. It’s not an all-in-one solution.

    I don’t know why your site is not generating thumbnails, but it does so quite nicely on mine. The plugin uses the standard WordPress media import functions, so something else must be going on.

    As for the code, I’ve been a programmer for 5 decades, and I’ve been in the plugin’s code working on an enhancement, and I found it to be well-written, and the UI to be pretty intuitive myself.

    @toneee thanks for the feedback and suggestions. But this plugin intentionally does not generate thumbnail files. There are other plugins used for that. But if you mean Media Library “preview”, that might happen if your source files do not have proper metadata, so WordPress doesn’t know the file type (if it’s an image, video, text, etc.). In any case, you could have explained that in the support section.

    Also, the plugin’s description suggests to import 1 file first, so you don’t “end up with a bunch of generic icons”.

    And this plugin was never supposed to be an all-in-one solution, then the interface might become even more confusing and janky. Can’t have it all ??
