Can I upload the wpress file into the backups folder and restore it as a backup?
If that were the case, then would I not be able to upload anything to the media library? Is there a way to connect an FTP user to the import?

Ok, yes I already did try to import, and it locked up at about 7%.
If your own code is reporting that there is plenty of room, GoDaddy is simply going to repeat that they don’t support 3rd party code, so no, they will not assist with this 🙂 If your code had actually returned a low value, that might be another story.
How is it that the plugin is not seeing the available space correctly?
Thanks Yani! Here is the result returned, which I believe is in bytes?
5.9371312853811E+14
I don’t understand the E+14 at the end.

Ok, when I run disk_free_space with the following, I get 345 GB:
<?php $df = disk_free_space("/"); print("Free space: $df"); ?>So right now it appears that the plugin is not seeing the available space correctly.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] Version 3.1.11 causes errorThank you for that. I’m on PHP 5.4.45 at the moment, but at least it tells me so nicely when the install fails. Rolling back to .10. This client is on Godaddy and the hosting package itself may not be able to upgrade the PHP version, depending on its age. I’ll find out.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] Version 3.1.11 causes errorI have the same error. Imagine all the users who will never comment. This upgrade brought many sites down.

In reply to: [Republish Old Posts] Is there a ‘republish’ flag available?Thank you. Can you see that this is a good feature to have, and that it would be relatively easy to implement?

In reply to: [Media Library Assistant] Can query urls be replaced with SEF urls?David, thanks again for the reply and asking for details. Yes indeed, SEF stands for search engine friendly. Certainly as a coder, it’s not bothersome to see question marks and equal signs in URLs, but it is standard practice to remove those where possible. For the end user, including this client, and every client I’ve ever worked with, it’s preferable to not have those characters (?,=) in a link, because we don’t use them that way in a sentence. Keep in mind that WordPress’ own Permalinks system is an SEF url system, and its job is mostly to remove question marks and equal signs. That’s why an add_rewrite_rule() function exists in the core code.
On the purely SEO side of things, one thing to understand is that any URL that exists within the source code of an HTML page will be followed by search engines unless you tell them not to. For my needs on this particular project, in addition to the dynamically generated gallery, I need to link directly via menu to each subcategory. That’s why it would be very helpful if not essential, to have SEF links.

In reply to: [Media Library Assistant] Can query urls be replaced with SEF urls?Ok, currently with the above shortcodes you have listed, a typical page, which is a combination photo gallery and Woocommerce thumbnail layout, has a subcategory url like this:
http://mysite.com/fireplace-hearth-products/?current_item=fireplacesThe ideal would be for the url to display as:
http://mysite.com/fireplace-hearth-products/fireplacesThe only caveat, and probably the deciding factor, is that each subcategory needs to have a different header banner and an introductory paragraph above the gallery. There are about 81 subcategories total. Therefore, in addition to the url change, I need to pull in the Att. Category description field, populate an <h2> tag with the Att. Category name, and change a CSS attribute for the banner.
The alternative is that I create all of these pages manually, and simply use the shortcodes to generate only one subcategory of gallery at a time, with manual links to each parent category.
Thanks for your reply Jarryd. In the meantime I switched browsers and I believe it might be browser connected, because I no longer have the issue. Firefox gave the appearance of having memory leak type errors and high CPU use, probably due to plugins installed.
The child_of parameter did exactly what I needed, thanks!
Nevermind, I discovered that I have to ‘Execute’ the custom field. I thought that dimensions was a native attribute that didn’t have to populated, but for whatever reason, it works now.
I am still unclear on the difference between a custom field and a mapping rule, and I don’t really understand yet how to get a mapping rule to copy a value from one field to another, but I’m working on it.
What’s your average image size, in pixel dimensions and kb? I know that my setup is loading the full size image and using the browser to scale, but you may need to specify to load thumbnails instead, if you’re not already doing so.
The tricky part is that it doesn’t clear the selected items to be worked on, only the edit fields. Clear Fields is a better indicator of that, IMO.
