Unsuccessful Upload Queue Filling Up

  • All of a sudden, I keep getting a message on my dashboard that there are errors in my upload queue. When I get this error, my CDN isn’t working and all the files that are supposed to be delivered via CDN (cloudfront) come from my server. Once I empty the upload queue, the files are then served (correctly) from the CDN.

    Question is why I’m getting these errors all of a sudden. The only thing I did was add one thing to the rejected files list in the CDN settings. I have no idea why this would impact the upload queue though.

    The files that are seen in the upload queue are files (mostly images) from old posts (6-12 months ago). It’s almost as if it’s trying to reupload old files to the CDN for some reason. Note that when there are any files in the upload queue, this breaks the CDN link for every file, not just those in the queue.

    Any idea what’s happening?

    Thanks,
    JMR

    One more bit of info.

    Most of what’s in the queue comes from a directory that I have in the rejected files list in the CDN setting: wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha/*

    I hadn’t had any problems with the plugin, but I did recently add another directory to this list around the time the problems started. I added this: wp-content/uploads/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/*

    It’s almost as if having two things in here makes the plugin ignore one of the rejected file paths.

    It’s happening because once some files are in the queue the CDN functionality is effectively disabled because W3TC doesn’t know which files are on the CDN or not. For servers that have this issue an origin pull CDN is recommended.
