Bulk Import not working

[DanLockcuff]

Hey Lee, I have been trying to bulk import multiple images on multiple blogs. Images are all on photobucket. It works perfectly individually. But the bulk option just sits there and does nothing. I don't see any errors in the log files either. No matter how long I leave it, it never imports a post unless its individually. Latest wordpress running php 7.2 and nginx. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks Dan

Hi there! I've experienced something similar to this in the past. If it is the same cause, it's a weird bug that crops up from time-to-time. In the readme file is a list of solutions to try.

Can you give this a shot. If it fails check the server error logs, maybe enable wp-debug.

1. Install (WP Sweep)[https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-sweep/] Visit Tools > Sweep then sweep the transients (it is the bottom option). WP Optimize is less thorough so use WP Sweep.
2. Confirm the server that hosts the images does not use hotlink protection. If images are protected you won't be able to download them.
3. Make sure the site that hosts the remote images is not in maintenance mode and is not blocking your own site's IP address.

WP Internal Error logging (Debugging)

Add this to wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

Any WP Error log lines will be written to /wp-content/debug.log
