WP Photo Seller – Processing after bulk upload

[Lroy53]

I’m still getting to grips with your plugin, but like what I’ve seen so far!

I’m a sport photographer, trying to upload 400+ images (max length 3000px) into a single album as a zip file which has no subdirectories.

The processing continually hung whilst apply the watermarks, so I created multiple zips containing 50 images each zip (with subfolders). The first 3 zip files uploaded and were processed correctly, but the 4th got stuck during processing.

Server details:

Unable to access log files, host should be adding me to access soon (hopefully)

Wp limit: 256MB

Memory usage: 32MB of 2147483648MB (seems crazy high!)

Not sure if it’s a dedicated or shared server

I’m on borrowed time as I told my client that the photos would’ve been available by the morning and didn’t expect to run into this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update:

I’m on a shared server, my host has no dedicated servers

2GB RAM

4x cpu

When you see such behaviour during bulk upload it usually means your server doesn’t have the resources to handle the processing of the images.

Have you checked your server’s php error log file?

Chances are that you will see some sort of fatal error regarding “exhausted” memory.

Another thing to try is to try and split up your photos into smaller zip files – say 75 or 100 and test that to see if your server can handle smaller quantities.

So you can mark this as closed, I ended up splitting the bulk upload into 5 parts of 100 photos (max) in each and the shared server that I’m on managed to process that (my server provider couldn’t let me know how much cpu or ram I was entitled to on the shared server).

Keep up the good work.

Ok thanks for getting back to us.
