Our website has developed an issue uploading images, or rather, processing the various sized images with the watermark.
We have the latest version of the plugin installed (2.4.6)
I am seeing this messages in the dashboard:
“There are currently bulk import events in progress”
Even though there are no images being uploaded at the moment.
This is what happens:
Uploaded three photos. The third photo had an error message.
Uploaded that third photo again – it worked.
Uploaded three more photos. All worked.
Uploaded three more photos. No message to say that it had not worked, but…. when I looked at the page, you can see that some of the images are missing:thesportsjournalist.com/photogallery/gallery540/
Some information:

What’s going on? We’ve been running all fine for a long time, all of a sudden, this is happening.
That usually means the server’s resources is a little low to be able to handle the processing of the larger photos. Your PHP RAM memory limit looks fine to me. Maybe it is hitting the script processing time limit. Just as a test, can you create a new gallery and use only one or two large photos (instead of many), then let me know if that processing on that completes?
Just to be sure, I’ve tested this myself (as I just took the customers word for it), I uploaded 1 image, which worked, I tried again but the upload stopped around 20%, eventually, I closed the browser and restarted it and logged back in.
A 2nd test uploaded 1 image fine.
I then tried to upload 2 images, the 2nd failed.
When uploading the images, the page does say there is a 4mb limit. Does that help?
Thank you. This is going to be more of a hosting resource limitation related issue (so the plugin is failing to process a bigger file). Can you please talk to the hosting provider and see if you can get them to allow more power/resources to this site so it can handle the processing of the bigger files?
My hosting company are asking:
“…Can you please talk to the hosting provider and see if you can get them to allow more power/resources to this site so it can handle the processing of the bigger files?”
Do you think you could find out what in particular they suggest should be increased? At 8gb, there’s more than enough RAM.
The RAM is definitely more than enough. This is something outside the plugin so I can’t really say for sure. I can process multiple 5MG+ photos in a gallery with my site without any issue. So something specific in this site is preventing the operation. Is the PHP script execution time limit a factor on this site?
I just can’t think of anything else that can prevent this. Can you check the server for some error_log to see if there is any error log for when the operation fails? The server’s error_log will contain more specific info as to why the process failed. Then we may have a better idea of what is causing it.
