Remote-Image-Cache

Hi @markwordpress1 with the free version of the plugin, we do not import any images from the RSS feeds, is it possible that you are using one Feed to Post addon to import the feed items?

In the meantime, please see our article here on managing the image cache.

Thank you for the reply. I was/am using an expired premium version and only the following plugins are installed:

The Aggregator

Categories

Key Word Filtering

Templates

I don’t see anyway to control the cache other then dropping in a delete script and running it with a Cron job.

Thanks for the follow-up @markwordpress1 the cron job approach should also work just fine. Unfortunately, we are not able to advise further on the paid plugins here. For some more insight about this, please use our contact form, as this forum is only for questions related to the free version.

So to sum up, buy a subscription, hosted account fills up with cached images from the feed (more than 60GB when discovered) with no way to control the size and must be manually deleted or the end user has to write their own scripts to delete them.

Buyer beware….Got it.

@markwordpress1 I checked with the engineering team on this and the remote-image cache is unrelated to the feed cache. The plugin uses the cache folder to temporarily store images before the WordPress media library. The tmp folder here is placed in the /tmp or AppData\Local\Temp in Windows. The custom folder mentioned might explain why the folder keeps growing and I’d recommend checking with the host for the same.
