Uploading Nightmares

Check Table IX-A3 and supply me a link to the site. The i can see what the limiting factor is. Most of the time it is the memory_limit set in php.ini: the recommended size is 64 MB, but other server restrictions may also spoil your good mood.

If you want wppa+ to skip its calculation of max upload size, uncheck Table VII-B8.1 and 8.2. On some installations the computation is faulty.

The reason that uploading into wppa+ takes more server resources than a simple media upload is that a thumbnail image is created during the upload process. This requires approx 4 bytes per pixel of the original image ( a full color image is created in memory ) plus 4 bytes per pixel of the thumbnail image size ( for the resampled thumbnail image ), all on top of the wp and wppa+ code and the memory required for the image file itsself.

So even tho only one photo returned an error on upload, I just saw that none of the photos I uploaded to the first album loaded, because the album is empty.

So far the only successful way I have been able to get photos in is to upload them to my WP media first, then import them, which means I choose from all the different sizes that WP generates, (and if WP can generate multiple sizes, why can’t wppa+ take advantage of that?), and it doesn’t give me the click for larger size in the album view.

I don’t want to be a pain, I just need it to be easier, I am foolishly trying to grow my business while taking care of a toddler, and tho I knew html once, I don’t have time to do much coding, I just need things to work, and if you can help me get this, I will definitely donate as soon as I make some sales!!!

This is from your phpinfo:

memory_limit	268435456	32M

A small business should nowadays be able to afford the costs of a hosting provider that gives you at least 64MB server memory as is recommended for wppa+. See the requirements on this page

Example: I pay less then €10,- per months and have 3 websites running, 104 MB memory, 5 MySql databases, 2 domains, unlimited subdomains, 500 mailboxes, 2 GB storage, etc.

Upgrade your hosting!

First off, I am tired of being insulted by people saying what small business people should afford. That is extremely presumptive, and I could tell you in detail how that is so untrue about what I can afford and what I can’t, but it is none of your business.

As to the statistics you show, I have no idea what it refers too, according to my hosting, I have unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth. So what exactly am I supposed to upgrade?

Sounds about right that when there is a problem, the first assumption is it is someone else’s fault. So far, no help at all.

according to my hosting, I have unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth

Any host that claims this is almost invariably a poor one. In reality, there is no such thing as “unlimited bandwidth”. As pointed out, this likely to be a site issue – not a plugin specific one (it almost always is). Try increasing the memory available to PHP.

At this point in time, I am regretting listening to everyone who said all small businesses should use wordpress. It is way too restrictive in design, format, font, style, unless you get a million plugins that have no basic instructions. I learned html 10 years ago. I don’t know php, I don’t know css. I have no time at all, and I needed something fairly intuitive and quick. WordPress has been far from that.

For instance, great you showed me something. You showed me words, you showed me code. Not where the frack to put the code. I am visual, so if I am going to be taught something by words only, then it needs to be clear where precisely I am going, what I am looking for, and each step I need to complete. “change this” is not instructional at all.

I am extremely ticked that I am about to dump the hundreds of hours I have spend trying to get this right, and go with something other than wordpress to build my site.

I am not dumb, I know there is no such thing as unlimited, but it is close to it, and I am not coming anywhere near using anything excessive. 70 mb of disk space used, .73 gb bandwidth used in the month, a small percentage of what is available. My hosting is not perfect, you let me know if there is a perfect one, but it is a highly regarded one, and offers the same features and usage as many others.

70 mb of disk space used, .73 gb bandwidth used in the month,

You do realise that none of this has anything to do with the amount of memory allocated to PHP, don’t you?

You do realize that you ignored everything I wrote to tell me the idiotic obvious. I actually made it clear that I know that it has nothing to do with it, that was an answer to your unhelpful response to me saying the only thing I see on my hosting is unlimited. I made it clear I don’t know what to look for, yet instead of being at all helpful, you just point out how dumb I must be.

Yeah, this is building wordpress confidence. N O T.
