Title: [Plugin: WordPress Flash Uploader] Wrong parameter count for set_time_limit() – Error message on syn Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WordPress Flash Uploader] Wrong parameter count for set_time_limit() – Error message on syn * Resolved [callumw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callumw/) * (@callumw) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-flash-uploader-wrong-parameter-count-for-set_time_limit-error-message-on-synchronise/) * Low-Pri issue * Hi Using the current release of WFU I’m getting an error reported on syncing some files. * If I upload through WFU it will rename it to lowercase, generate the pre-defined smaller versions and all is well. * If I FTP the file up then go to synchronise, the file (still with some uppercase) fails when I try to synchronise it. * I get the error message with file: 20100527_Thierry_Bearzatto14.jpg * ``` Warning: Wrong parameter count for set_time_limit() in /......./wp-content/plugins/wordpress-flash-uploader/inc/wfu-sync.php on line 76 Crunching (1/1): 20100527_thierry_bearzatto14.jpg Files imported to media library. ``` * It looks like it does actually work, but it’s an odd error to report when normally it works flawlessly. * C. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-flash-uploader/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-flash-uploader/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-flash-uploader-wrong-parameter-count-for-set_time_limit-error-message-on-synchronise/#post-2160144) * Hi, * please update to 2.14.1. this warning should now not come anymore. * – Michael * Thread Starter [callumw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callumw/) * (@callumw) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-flash-uploader-wrong-parameter-count-for-set_time_limit-error-message-on-synchronise/#post-2160145) * Awesome 🙂 * [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * (@finalwebsites) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-flash-uploader-wrong-parameter-count-for-set_time_limit-error-message-on-synchronise/#post-2160209) * Hi, * I’m not sure of this is related, but I get a lot from these error’s if I click the “sync” tab: * ` Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 11 bytes in /home/olaf/httpdocs/casinogokken.net/webapp/trunk/wp-content/plugins/wordpress- flash-uploader/inc/wfu-sync.php on line 348 * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-flash-uploader-wrong-parameter-count-for-set_time_limit-error-message-on-synchronise/#post-2160211) * This comes when the metadata from the wordpress db is read.

I googled and this error comes when wordpress does not serialize the data correctly to the db. You would have to check your db and fix the invalid entry. An extra \ in the data can cause the problem. See [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4149030/php-unserialize-error-at-offset](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4149030/php-unserialize-error-at-offset) So I can use stripslashes but it seems not to happen on any other system yet. * [Olaf Lederer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/finalwebsites/) * (@finalwebsites) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-flash-uploader-wrong-parameter-count-for-set_time_limit-error-message-on-synchronise/#post-2160220) * I’m sorry, I test so many plugins on my sandbox these days and most of the warnings I see are related to non-existing variables. I thought that this was the problem too. I guess the problem in this case, is more related to buggy functions in PHP (no type casting caps.) * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-flash-uploader-wrong-parameter-count-for-set_time_limit-error-message-on-synchronise/#post-2160222) * The notice for the width is now solved as well.
