Not transferring files consistently

Thanks to this thread, I got it working again.

– I deleted and reinstalled the Docs to WP plugin, (and did not activate the Run on Cron segment)
– I created the cron PHP file in a text editor,
– uploaded the file to our site via FTP,
– went to the URL in a browser window,

and it worked!

The docs that had been sitting in our Send to Web folder in Google Drive were pulled into WordPress and then moved to our Ready for Print folder!

I have eight monthly papers that I use this for, and each month I didn’t know if it would work smoothly or not. (I’ve spent many an hour just pulling my hair, trying all sorts of things just to get it working like it did before.)

I’ve found, as weird as it may sound, that if I go to the Settings->Docs to WP page in my Dashboard and simply click on the ‘Save’ button a few times before I try to transfer stuff, it’ll go smoothly. Strange, but true.

It reminds me of being a kid and banging on the TV to get certain stations to come in.

Thank you for that tip!!

Wouldn’t you know it, my manually-run-thru-browser cron job wasn’t working this morning. But your method seemed to do the trick. Bizarre!

Unfortunately there seems to be a pattern of my “fixing” the plugin only to have it stop working shortly thereafter ??

I experience the same thing. It feels like a crap shoot each month, but since I started doing the ‘Save’ click, it’s been working.

The most irritating thing is when you run the manual cron and nothing seems to happen. I have a line added to my cron that will email me when it runs, so I know it actually connected.

<?php
include('./wp-load.php');
$docs_to_wp = new Docs_To_WP();
$result = $docs_to_wp->startTransfer();
wp_mail( "[email protected]", "Subject line”, print_r( $result, true ) );
