That would be strange. Is there any chance that WordPress Cron is disabled by your web host?

Hi Nabeel,
I don’t own an iphone, so could not check on the iphone.

I was able to get a windows computer today and tested it as per your previous post(using the chrome addon). I do see the issue. The issue is related to setting parameters/settings of the uploader.

It was a bug in the plupload library(older version). The bug is fixed in the newer version of plugpload but WordPress includes a very old version(2.1.2).

The solution for now will be to put a workaround for settings. Since I have managed to see the issue now, I can fix it. I will have the solution available in next 3-4 days.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Andrew,
My approach and suggestion will depend on how many media you want to import and how often/convenient it should be.

If it needs human intervention, I will go for a simple approach that provides an UI for moving to gallery.

If it can be automated, you can either create an array of media, gallery id and use a loop to automate it. Please do note that php time limits may not allow all to be imported in a go.

Writing a plugin is better approach but you can put the code in a file and include it in functions.php

Please make sure that you do not run the code before mpp_init action. The most suitable action for running the code will mpp_template_redirect if not using ajax actions.

Hi Andrew,
Here are some of my suggestions.

1. Instead of the WordPress API, Please use MediaPress API. It will make your job very easy and things will be setup automatically

You can use ‘mpp_create_gallery’ to create a gallery using code. Please search for ‘mpp_create_gallery’ on the forum and you will find many example. Here is one.

$component_id = 3709;
$component = 'sitewide';

$gallery_id = mpp_create_gallery( array(
	'creator_id'   => get_current_user_id(),
	'title'        => 'some title',
	'description'  => '',
	'status'       => 'public',
	'component'    => $component,
	'component_id' => $component_id,
	'type'         => 'photo',
) );

Also, For importing Media to a galelry, we have helper functions like mpp_import_file() , mpp_import_attachment() using which you can import a file from server or an existing WordPress attachment to MediaPress.

Here is the signature for them

mpp_import_attachment( $attchment_id, $gallery_id, $overrides = array() );

mpp_import_file( $file_abs_path,$gallery_id, $overrides = array() );

Both the function returns the imported media id or WP_Error object if there was a problem in importing.

Example:-

Import attachment id 32 to gallery id 7

mpp_import_attachment( 32, 7  );

That will import the attachment and setup all the properties of media from the given galery(privacy, status, type, component etc).

If you want to override some propert, you can do it by passing 3rd argument. Let us assume that the gallery 7 is public but we want the imported media to be private, It can be easily accomplished by over riding status as

mpp_import_attachment( $attchment_id, $gallery_id, array( 'status' => 'private' ) );

Same applies for the mpp_import_file(). You can import any file from server disk. It create an attachment out of the file(Please note that mpp_import_file() only copies the file, does not remove it from the original directory).

If you use these methods, the media will be setup properly and you won’t have issues in listing.

It is a bug caused by the Essential grid. Please contact Themepunch team and ask that the plugin is not allowing meta to be saved for another plugin using CMB2.

If they say that it is not caused by their plugin, Please point me to the topic and I can prove it for them.

Also, I had a look at the code 2 year ago when Essential grid took down the site of one of my clients(Yes, It loaded 35000 posts while only showing 20). Sorry about this, but I will try to avoid playing with their code again.
