Fatal Error — Allocated Memory

Good find! I have updated the plugins repository code and optimized memory usage in that specific function.

Would you please be so kind to de-install and re-install the plugin? I have not updated the version (yet).

By the way, the reason the plugin did not fail on the initial run is because of the fact that when it finds a lot (12068 images is quite a lot) it skips the function to find if these images still have links to some leftover metadata in the wordpress database.

Do note that these images are being checked against all possible metadata wordpress knows how to find on its own. There are some cases when there needs to be a low-end function to find leftover attachment data.

Rest assured that even if some of these files still had metadata coupled in the database wordpress already did not know how to find it back unless you re-instated the different previous registered image sizes.

The code to find these leftovers is quite tough and will only run if there are less than 500 incorrect images. I am in the process of re-thinking this approach to also clean up the database a bit.

However at the moment I think that the impact of saving 900mb was more important than a few megabytes (at most) in the database.

Sorry it took so long to get this done! I tried uninstalling and re-installing, and still get the same result (log file pasted below again).

You are correct, however, that saving the 900mb was huge. I was approaching my 2gb limit and couldn’t figure out why, especially as much effort as I put into keeping images below 200k! This plugin is a life saver. ??

No worries, take all the time you need. I need to rewrite a small part of the plugin to take care of the memory issue here.

I already know how to fix it but now I have to find the time. Hoping that I will be able to work on it this or tomorrow evening.

Works for me! Your plugin cleaned up 900mb of images with no ill side effects, so as far as I’m concerned, you’re my hero. ?? When you have a new version to test, let me know and I’ll gladly be your guinea pig should you need one.

Most of the plugin has been rewritten now. But it will take some time check all functionality.

A new version of the plugin has been released. I hope it will fix the troubles you have been facing.

That did it! Thanks so much for saving my a$$. ?? Fantastic plugin.

Thanks for trying! You are most welcome. Please, if you find the time, you might be able to write a review ;).

No doubt on the review! Already penning it as you sent this. ??

I just had similar errors to what packgrad2k1 was having on a site, I ended up bumping the php memory on the vps up to 512mb per script.

Deleted 13,673 unused images and over 700mb of disk space. ??

Thanks very much for all of your work and I’ll leave a review right now.
