Featured Image doesn’t work anymore

    we’re running a wordpress page with >3.5k galleries.
    Everything was working fine, while we had nggalleries. With the change to imagely we can’t use the “featured image” option anymore on our posts. Clicking on it brings just nothing.
    One assumption: Maybe the generation of the list with all the thousands of galleries is too much?
    Could you maybe add a limit to this generated list to show maybe just the latest galleries, so that this list is smaller and your plugin would be able to continue working with it?

    Hi @x-tof ,

    Thank you for the detailed report.

    We’ve managed to reproduce the issue and identify its cause. The recent update to the Imagely admin UI altered how the gallery picker loads your galleries. It now fetches extra data for each gallery (like a preview image and image count) to enhance the visual experience. The issue is that it does this one gallery at a time, which means on a site with over 3,500 galleries, the plugin executes thousands of database queries at once. This exceeds the server’s time limit, making the “Set NGG Image as Featured” function seem unresponsive.

    This is a bug on our end, and we’ve logged it for a fix.

    In the meantime, if you need a workaround, you might try using the Classic Editor (with the Classic Editor plugin active), which follows a different code path that might be more tolerant of your server’s timeout settings. However, it may still be slow to load the gallery dropdown at such a large scale.

    I apologise for the disruption caused and let me know if any questions.

    Best regards,
