Bulk Generation Status Failed

    Are there any known issues with Bulk Generation? Specifically, when using the Google Image (Scraping) and Openverse sources? No settings were changed.

    Bulk generator page processes the request and shows “Successful Generation” at the bottom, but the status reads 1/1: Failed.

    Logs say there are no results (there are definitely results, but they are not being received by the plugin).

    [2026-03-21T00:08:23.864757+00:00] mpt_logger.INFO: New generation starting {“post”:325195} [] [2026-03-21T00:08:24.468641+00:00] mpt_logger.INFO: Source used {“Service”:”google_scraping”} [] [2026-03-21T00:08:24.468955+00:00] mpt_logger.ERROR: No results {“post”:325195} []

    Thank you for this plugin and the support.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your message.

    Yes, the Google Image (scraping) method is currently not working. I am working on a fix to make it available again as soon as possible.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Hello,

    Google has recently strengthened its anti-bot protections, and this is currently affecting the Google Images method.

    I have tried several workarounds, but for now I have not found a solution that is reliable enough.

    As an alternative, I am considering adding Bing Images as a fallback source whenever Google does not return results.

    Would this be a good option for you?

    Regards.

    Better than nothing! At least until you find a way to keep using the Google method. Thank you so much for working on this!
