 * Hello! Trying to use the plugin but it keeps giving me a 503 error. I even tried
   shortening the date span for cleanup, but to no avail. Anything I can do to get
   it to work?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Jessica,
 * We should start solving this problem by having a look at the log files WordPress
   creates when something goes wrong. If you don’t know how to enable this feature,
   do this:
 * 1. Go to your WordPress directory (the directory where you find the folders wp-
   content and wp-includes).
    2. Open the file wp-config.php. 3. Scroll down to 
   the line where it says `define('WP_DEBUG', false);` and remove it. 4. Add the
   following code to the next line:
 *     ```
       define("WP_DEBUG", true);
       define("WP_DEBUG_LOG", true);
       define("WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY", true);
       define("SCRIPT_DEBUG", true);
       @ini_set("display_errors", 1);
       ```
   
 * Now, try reproducing the error. After that, check the following directories for
   the files “error.log” or “debug.log”.
 * 1. WordPress root directory
    2. wp-content 3. wp-content/plugins 4. wp-content/
   themes
 * If you find any, please post them here.

 * I have the same issue.
    I would expect the analysis process to run through Ajax…
   when there’s over 10GB of uoloads, it’s impossible that the script will ever 
   run to completion, it will forever timeout like this.
 *     ```
       Apache Error
       (70007)The timeout specified has expired: AH01075: Error dispatching request to : (polling), referer: wp-admin/tools.php?page=thumbnail-cleaner
       ```
   
 * Ajax IS necessary I’m afraid.
    Any plans to implement it?

 * Yeah, AJAX is one of the solutions. However, right now, I have not enough time
   to implement this. As soon as I can, I’ll update it. Please be patient.
