However, I ended up resetting to default and was able to upload. But now I’m having a heck of a time with this. Please see the video to see what I’m talking about. It’s like what displays on the screen is linked to other files. * [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-TK2hKPdzMQNXNHd2Uwa1dZY2M](https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-TK2hKPdzMQNXNHd2Uwa1dZY2M) * Plugin Author [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * (@bhaldie) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647349) * Thanks for the video, I’ll look into this issue for you.

Do you have any zip application installed on your server? * Thread Starter [chisss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chisss/) * (@chisss) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647365) * I do not. but it used to work just fine before V3, or it works whenever it feels like working. Like last time I had to reset defaults and it worked fine. * I am working on another multi-site and did the same thing so I started to upload the files individually and now I’m back to the same issue as in the video above. * Plugin Author [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * (@bhaldie) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647366) * This is more than likely a server configuration issue not a Memphis Docs issue, but I will help you the best I can if I can get the proper information. Please get the answer to my question above. * And I am only dealing with one issue at a time, so let deal with the first one you have, then open other ticket with the second issue, this helps me track problems. * Thread Starter [chisss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chisss/) * (@chisss) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647367) * I understand. So let’s prioritize. I’ll leave this one with the batch upload and I’ll open another with the the issue where it mixes the names with files. That one takes more priority right now than batch upload. * Thanks! * Plugin Author [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * (@bhaldie) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647368) * sounds good 🙂 * Thread Starter [chisss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chisss/) * (@chisss) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647374) * New version allowed me to batch upload. The only issue is that even after I change the name in the import list, the actual Name of the document still reflects the file name with the extension. * For example I changed the name from registrationinformation.pdf to Registration Information. Once it went in the front end after successfully importing it still showed registrationinformation.pdf. So I had to manually change the names again. * Plugin Author [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * (@bhaldie) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647375) * I’ll look into that. * Plugin Author [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * (@bhaldie) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647389) * this issue is fixed in version 3.0.12 Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) The topic ‘Can't batch upload’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/memphis-documents-library_91918f. svg) * [Memphis Documents Library](https://wordpress.org/plugins/memphis-documents-library/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/memphis-documents-library/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/memphis-documents-library/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/memphis-documents-library/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/memphis-documents-library/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/memphis-documents-library/reviews/) * 13 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [bhaldie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bhaldie/) * Last activity: [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-batch-upload/#post-6647389) * Status: resolved
