 * Hi!
 * I installed Insert Fixit Tools a few days ago and I’m really impressed by what
   it can do, especially that I tried many before. I have ML of 90k images and unfortunately
   thousands and thousands of them are unattached to parent posts and Insert Fixit
   is a huge help in getting it done. The problem I have is that I can serve between
   10 and 20 posts (usually up to 100 images) in one go before my hosting server
   times out. And I have more than 20k posts so you cane imagine the work involved
   🙂 Is there any way to schedule the attaching procedure in order to automate 
   the whole process without the need to restart it every 15 or so posts? Thanks
   a lot.

 * Thanks for the positive MLA feedback and for your question. I regret that the
   current MLA and example plugin versions do not have any features for automating
   the operation of the Insert Fixit tools.
 * Script execution time limits are usually set in the PHP.INI file, and this file
   may not be available for you to modify. However, if you have access to the WordPress`
   wp-config.php` file you can add a statement there to extend the PHP time limit.
   For example, you can set a 300-second (five-minute) limit by adding this to your`
   wp-config.php` file:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       @ini_set('max_execution_time','300');
       ```
   
 * You can view the time limit value in the “Server” section of the Site Health “
   Info” tab, where it is labeled “PHP time limit”.
 * You can also try the “Refresh Caches” tool at the bottom of the Insert Fixit 
   page, where it says:
 * > If you have a large number of posts/pages and/or Media Library items you can
   > use the cache refresh operation to break up processing into smaller steps. 
   > Try clicking the “Refresh Caches” button to build these intermediate data structures
   > and save them in the WordPress cache for fifteen minutes. That will make the“
   > Copy”, “Modification” and “Attach” operations above go quicker.
 * I hope the above suggestions are helpful. I am marking this topic resolved because
   I’ve given you what help I can. Thanks for your understanding and for your interest
   in the plugin.

 * Thanks a lot, David, I’ll try to increase max execution time.
