Excellent!!

I noted your instructions to remove the code and delete the CSV file after completing the downloads. Can I retain the code that I named in the Snippet plugin, or is t necessary to remove the plugin? I will continue to add images to this media library and will need to perform this process a number of times in the future

It worked!!!! Thanks so much. One final question I think – assuming that only 500 items were downloaded, Do I have to repeat the entire process again or simply delete the completed export.CSV? in repeating the process incrementally, how will the system know where to start..at 501 for example?

Dear Vijay,

Despite your excellent support it seems that the Hostgator tech support is inconsistent. After you sent me the revised code none of the subsequent support people were willing or able to walk me through the process of adding the revised coding. I’m pretty sure I can handle it myself if I can recall or be shown the path to the proper php flie for editing.

Wow! Vijay, Thanks for hanging with me on this one. I’ve shared the instructions with tech support at HostGator and am awaiting a reply on my support ticket. I’ll let you know how it all works out and am wishing I could offer more than a sincere thank you. You’re the best!

At present, I have approximately 3,000 image files, a figure that will grow as I continue to upload images for viewing, purchase and download. I imagine if there were a way to break these quantities into smaller numbers by moving them back and forth from different directory locations, it would ease the load and allow me to export the data incrementally – not the slickest or most efficient way to manage data, but perhaps necessary. Frankly, I was surprised to learn that the image file sizes matter at all since I’m only needed the data, not the images themselves – file names and URL locations. Anyway….

Vijay,

With the help of my Hostgator tech support I placed the code into my functions.php file. As you mentioned we received a 500 error message when trying to complete the processes after install. We did increase the limits to 1024MB in both memory limits and post max size, but still encounter problems. They are still trying to resolve the problem and I’m awaiting further word from their tech support staff. Unless you have further suggestions, I may be dead in the water. In any case, I want to thank you again for all your help – it’s a beautiful thing.

Incredible! Thanks so much! In truth, I have a photographic ecommerce site that features downloadable images and there are thousands of them. I have increased the memory and loading limits on my server to accommodate the memory intensive task, but we’ll see. As I look at the code you wrote, I can’t imagine I could have ever
completed such a task without your help. Thank you so much for your generosity.

Vijay…and this can be used to export the image filenames and URL’s to a file? I do have access to PhPmyadmin via my CPanel, but am not sure what to specify.

I’m not familiar with how this would be done, but it certainly sounds like an inexpensive and resourceful approach that I will definitely pursue. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much Steve. I have in fact downloaded and installed WP All Export and after communicating with their support, I am advised that I’d have to purchase the rather pricey “Pro” version and create my own quiery and possibly another All Export plugin for WooCommerce to import the modified data I would create to use with the data. We’re all accustomed to the teaser plugin-in approach that requires you buy the higher version to get the utility you really need. Perhaps this will be my only option.

Again, thanks for the suggestion and link,

Ken

On my way

Thanks so much for the redirect!

Thanks so much for your reply and suggestions. The WooCommerce devs were the first people I made inquiry of and the answer I received seemed to not grasp the issue and skimmed over a meaningful response. I responded with what I think was a much clearer explanation, but the second reply from them was even more evasive – they referred me to this forum,

If you’ve viewed my website (it’s online even though its still under development) you’ll note that the gallery and watermarked images are fundamental to the process of image viewing and selection. Inasmuch as the downloadable high-res counterpart of each image must be linked in some way or order fulfillment process, I’m not sure I understand what you mean when you say they are independent of the watermarked/low-res images on display. The same is true when you mention that I don’t need a gallery. For a guy who always thought CVS was just a drugstore that gives long receipts, I’m certain I’m going to need someone to write the custom script you refer to – if that is in factor the solution. Your second paragraph sounds interesting in referencing the high-res images, but I’m not clear about your reference to product data and each images product page – especially in a gallery setting when the entire window IS the product page. Any clarification you could provide would be greatly appreaciated.
