Just cancel the cron job. Go to the cpanel and cancel.
PM me your login information and let me look at stuff.
actually, an easy way is this:
Go to phpMyAdmin – you should have this accessible via CPanel.
Click on your WordPress database.
Assuming you are using the base prefix, use this MySQL query:
SELECT *
FROM wp_posts wpp
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM wp_posts wpi
WHERE wpi.post_title = wpp.post_title
LIMIT 1, 1
)
and wpp.post_type = ‘product’
and wpp.post_status != ‘auto-draft’
and wpp.post_status != ‘trash’
order by wpp.post_title
This will spit out all the entries and their duplicates. Just go and manually delete the ones that are duplicates.
I’ve done a restore with over 2000 images without one duplicate – so if you have any duplicates it must be because you ran the import, then restored, then ran the import again without deleting the previous restore.
There may be an easy way to find duplicates, but it will require a database query. I can do a search to find distinct titles, etc. Let me know once you have the cron job running, and everything else is fine, then I’ll help you with duplicates.
I’d have to see a screenshot or log in for you to see why it isn’t running – if you aren’t getting emails and images aren’t showing up, then it isn’t running.
Hey Addilyn,
I’ll let Dawn help you with that. Your site looks awesome!
https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Cron+Jobs#CronJobs-Addacronjob
So you go into Cpanel, follow those instructions, and stick the command you see in your Symbiostock > Settings page as the cron job. Make it run every minute, meaning put a ‘*’ in every field where it wants to know the minute, hour, day etc.
The Symbiostock improved search is now enabled. Along with this are a number of speed increases on the processor.
The improved search:
- Searches tags as well as the rest of the content
- Performs this search in about 0.2 seconds vs the 1.4 seconds 3rd party plugins provide (85% speed increase!)
This will be released with the next version of Symbiostock. It is live on PLUS.
Yep – that is a known restriction when the importer is active. I actually left it there so that people remember to disable it after the import is done – kind of a fail-safe reminder.
Another thing – once the import is complete, you will need to restore it. Right now it is just collecting the data, not downloading the images.
It does it this way so that you can review the import prior to actually affecting your new install.
Restoration is much quicker as it just downloads the images.
Also remember that once the restoration is complete, your images will be in queue to be processed – they will not show up under the products yet as they have been added to the site as if they are replacement images for your products. Accordingly, you need to run the scheduler (and keep refreshing it) to process all the images, or just put the scheduler… on schedule. It will do all the processing in the background.
I always recommend people go through the trouble of putting the scheduler in their system’s schedule as once you get over that hump, the system is really very automated.
Yep – should take some time. Just let it run. You can also resume it anytime if it stops for any reason. Both the importer and restorations can be interrupted and resumed.
I do admit it isn’t as fast as it could be, but it is certainly very secure.
You would need to install the importer on the legacy as well if they are different WordPress installs.
Have you tried disabling and renabling the legacy theme? I was having a permission error on another site and doing that fixed it. You can also try using another theme altogether on the legacy site to see if it rectifies the issue.
If not, just give me admin access to everything via PM and I’ll look into it and your watermark issue.
Hey Redneck,
I just tried it on 3 different sites and it seemed to work fine. Do you want to give me your admin access so I can test it out and see why it is having an issue on your server?
If so, PM It to me.
Robin.
What control panel do you use? CPanel? Plesk? Both of these have the ability to add a scheduled task.
Your system scheduler will do it automatically. You just need to put it in the scheduler. See this doc:
http://www.symbiostock.org/docs/2015/05/02/setting-up-the-schedulerimage-processor/
Are your images showing up now?
It runs a limited amount each time in order to not freeze your server (if you did 600 at a time it would not be responsive for some time).
This is why you should add it to your system’s scheduler. Just keep refreshing it and it will go through all of them if you don’t want to add it to your scheduler. Alternatively you can edit the script and change the line that says ‘ss_process_ftp(10)’ in tools-cron.php to whatever you’d like.
It is meant to process 10 images a minute, or 600 each hour.
