It’s a useful platform and I like it! It does deserve a good review, it has lots of features and options and setting the APIs was simple and well documented.
]]>2nd, instead of attempting to do everything at once, perform media library with just images. Then perform the File System (Pro) with images. Make sure you just leave the default settings when you do this. Don’t try to throw more at your server than it can handle.
This second part will take hours depending on how much garbage there is. My site is 13 years old and has gone through multiple iterations and themes with over 57,000 media and images clogging up the back-end that I no longer use.
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SITE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THESE OPERATIONS.
Once complete, I bit the dust and just deleted everything (which just goes to the trash can for reversal if needed). The only problem I had were the PayPal donation buttons disappeared even though they were still in the media library. Not sure why but that was easily resolved.
Other than that, I freed up 5+ gigs of space and after purging my cache and Cloudfare, I let it set for 24 hours and everything is working as it should. This may take several hours but doing it manually would’ve been impossible. This plugin saved my life!
