    Hello Jacob,
    I am using the latest version of everything.
    I have problems uploading picture using WPPA+
    Plug in says 100 pictures, 64mb, 60 seconds.
    It times out after about 30 seconds regardless.
    For example yesterday I tried to upload 46 pictures 600×900 identical in size all totaling 8mp. It uploaded 40 in 33 seconds and timed out. It is happening all the time.
    My hosting company says there is nothing wrong with the servers and php file is set for 120 seconds but wppa+ shows only 60 seconds. Also, I am on 20Mbs upload service so 8MB should only take about a second or so.
    Please help.

    To prevent a server timeout in the middle of a process – and possibly without any error message – wppa keeps track of the execution time itsself, to make it possible to ‘die gracefully’ before a hard server timeout.

    You can increase the wppa timer in Table IX-A5. It is recommended to set it not longer than 15 seconds less than the php max_execution_time.

    There is also a max_input_time in the php settings ( See Table XII in the ‘Core’ section ), i.e. the max time an upload may last.

    There is more happening than just uploading during upload. If you set Table I-A2, the screen resolution file must be created, and, in all cases, the thumbnail file must be created, and that takes time too.

    Thank you. I changed max-execution time to 95 (120-15) and it worked.
    If I need more I will do later. It took 45 seconds to upload 46 files I guess because of the thumbs creations.
