Uploading 4.000 image

Hi,

Bulk importing thousands of images isn’t going to be a good experience, and isn’t really what the plugin is good at. I don’t know of any alternatives though.

Then i tried in smaller bulks. Like 250 images. That went well, but then suddenly different images sizes (like 10 per uploaded image) pops up in the ‘add to server’ plugin.

WordPress generates resized images for images when you upload them, for compatibility, the plugin doesn’t stop WordPress generating those files.

If i want to upload a new batch of images, then all images are mixed up and the overview is completely gone.

There’s two options with the plugin:

1. When you import the images, you should just be able to scroll to the bottom of the selection that’s already imported and continue to select more. The order of the files should be consistent.
2. Transfer the images to the server, but don’t store them within wp-content/uploads. Store them into something like wp-content/my-images and then import the files from there instead. That’ll copy or move the files into the wp-content/uploads folder as you import them into the media library.

I would however, highly suggest, that you simply open the Media library, and upload the images through the browser. You should just be able to drag all 4,000 images onto the media library, and WordPress will upload them in sequence. You may prefer to do it in smaller batches of 100 or so though.
