Amazing, that template works great. I really appreciate your help and time to work on this. Thank you very much, David.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help and glad that you found what is actually causing grid items to stop loading.

You do not say in your step two exactly how you changed the uploaded dates. Did your process assign the same value to two or more items?
==> After uploading images to draft post with an old date, I did bulk edit using MLA plugin and set Uploaded on to “2013/02/1”. I did not include time. So by default, it should be like “2013-02-1 00:00:00” and there are lots of images like this same date. As you mentioned this is the reason that stops grid gallery loading new items.

I think it may be possible to add an extra feature that will generate day and time randomly unique. For example, we set the date for “Uploaded on” to “2018-02” (yyyy-mm) only. Then MLA plugin can generate random unique days and times and complete the date like – 2018-02-10 05:04:30 and other unique dates with different days and times.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I am working on re-design the site with a new Divi theme. The old theme had issues with the media library. Many thumbnails became the main image and showing up in the media library.

To fix this issue, I have permanently deleted all images from the media library. Also, some images from the upload folder were not showing up in the media library. So I also deleted images from the upload folder manually.

Now, I have to upload images again but I have to upload images to the same date/folder as they were. So it can not break image links on the site. So, I found a solution for this from this article.

Step -1
This way, I created a draft post with an old date like 2013/02/15. Then I uploaded the image through this post and the image was uploaded to the old date folder same as 2013/02. But this way media library doesn’t show the image uploaded on 2013/02/15 but it shows the current date.

Step -2
Now, to fix this final issue. I changed the uploaded dates using the MLA plugin.

I have repeated steps 1 and 2 for all the folder year/months dates from 2013-2021. and I uploaded about 800 images. Everything worked fine. But I noticed that the media grid is not loading all 800 images but it stops at about 98 images.

Thank you
