MemberIs there a way to pick up and watermark where the watermarking just stops? I have a gallery of 108 images and it watermarked up to 52. But can’t figure out how to watermark the rest.

MemberYour server most probably doesn’t have enough resources and memory to complete the task.
What type of server installation do you have? Shared plan, VPS or something else?
What is the value of your PHP memory_limit configuration parameter?
The watermarking code will check if a watermarked image already exists and it will not redo the watermarking procedure if the watermarked file has already been created.
Check your server’s PHP error log file and let us know if you see any “memory exhausted” errors.

MemberHaving the same issue. Is there an answer to the above question?
“Is there a way to pick up and watermark where the watermarking just stops?”
How do I force the watermark process to run on a gallery without adding more images?

KeymasterIts suppose to run the process (if needed) when you save the gallery. Can you remove the watermark and save then add the watermark again and save the gallery to see if that triggers it?

MemberI “edited” the gallery and simply hit “Save Gallery”. It did not seem to run the process.
I didn’t want to make a change that would invalidate the existing watermarked images.
Is there a way to enter a url that would force it? Or a way to add a button to the Gallery settings screen?
July 12, 2018 at 12:31 am #75411admin
KeymasterNo, there is no button like that. Its suppose to run the whole thing.
How many images do you have in this gallery? What is the PHP RAM limit of this site? Low PHP RAM limit can cause this issue.

MemberHi Dan,
When you see behaviour such as yours it is almost always caused by your server not having enough memory to do the watermarking.
Check your server’s PHP error log file to see if you have any “memory exhausted” errors.
If you do you can try setting the PHP memory_limit value to 256 or higher. However if you are on a cheap shared hosting plan this your hosting service may still throttle your memory and not allow you to access the full 256M or more.
