Bug: Request URI too long when deleting archive ebay listings

Hello @redjersey.

Thanks for contacting support.

We had another user who had this problem, but they experienced the error when trying to publish many listings. We asked them for more information so we could look into it ourselves but we never heard back from the customer.

With that said, if you would like us to look into this, we will need you to open a ticket here: https://www.wplab.com/request-support/ – and provide us with your:

1.) Dashboard URL
2.) Admin Login credentials
3.) Steps on how many listings/pages of archived listings to delete in bulk to receive this error.

Kind regards,
John

Hi,

URL, admin login are not necessary. Even if I provide those info, they are already deleted and problem cannot be reproduced right now (until I have lots of archived listing waiting to be deleted) According to apache documentation the max URL length is set to 8190 characters (LimitRequestLine = 8190) so if you keep deleting archived listings (or other listings) without clicking on some other links and going back to the listing page _wpnonce=xxxxxxxxx&_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fadmin.php will keep appending to the URL and eventually hit the max.

This is not a serious issue as it can be solved by clicking on some other links, once loaded click on the listing page link and keep deleting. It’s just I think you should know the bug exists.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will see to have this fixed in the next version, until then you’ll have to use the workaround you mentioned.

kind regards,
Matt

Sorry for the delay, but this has finally been fixed in version 2.0.40 which has been released here on www.ads-software.com just now.

kind regards,
